Isa Genzken : Weltempfänger (1990)
From "All That Is Solid Melts Into Air" exhibition in Mechelen, B.
21.03.09 - 21.06.09
"All That Is Solid Melts Into Air is organised by the Antwerp museum of contemporary art MuHKA as part of a large-scale, city-wide program of events, exhibitions and projects devoted to the question of the role of the spiritual and the status of spiritual experience in contemporary ‘post-secular’ society.
The focal point of All That Is Solid Melts Into Air is an attempt to articulate, in five distinct chapters, the seeming or real paradox of what could be called a materialist spirituality – the fundamental dialectic of spirit (animus) and matter that is one of the defining features of what is commonly called ‘art’, or ‘culture’ more generally.
Five exhibitions, curated by MuHKA's team of curators and comprising close to a hundred artists in total, seek to shed light on art's timeless quest for the added value of the spiritual that lurks within the materiality of the world."
Team of curators: Edwin Carels, Bart De Baere, Liliane De Wachter, Dieter Roelstraete, Grant Watson / Project coordinator: Robert Ghesquière / Coproduction: MuHKA & MMMechelen vzw in collaboration with Cultuurcentrum Mechelen /
