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.

"The vintage fisherman house serving as the main building, is completely constructed out of wood. This wooden inner structure is very present and the interplay with the contemporary bourgeois furniture quotes, dominant. On the spot I was reading the book 'Rhythmanalysis, Space, Time and everyday Life' (1992) van Henri Lefebvre and at a given moment I started drawing fragments of the house. Hereafter I added to each drawing a reflection out of Lefebvres book, from its first chapter: 'The Critique of The Thing'."  — AMVK
