Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (also known as AMVK) is an artist of singular complexity. Born in 1951 in Antwerp, where she still lives and works, she has been active since the 1970s as a visual artist, graphic designer and performer. She has always been a pioneer. She should, first and foremost, be considered an artist for the future. AMVK’s practice is truly interdisciplinary.

M HKA wants to introduce Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven to a wider audience as an innovator of forms and interpreter of moods - as oxygen of the whole society.

"Animation of a drawing of Paris bourgeois interior around 1900. The pieces of furniture reach out for each other like growing plants. The animation evolves like a fungus, in imitation of human thought. The drawing bears a quote from Sigmund Freud’s Civilisation and Its Discontents, 1908, from the chapter titled 'The Cultural Sexual Moral and Modern Nervosity’."
