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.

"Engraving/collage in and with Plexiglass mounted on a painted wooden box: part of the cycle "God and Violence", for which I asked a friend to pose while magnetizing a skeleton. Before each session we read a part of "the Sermon on the Mount" in the Gospel of Matthew together." — AMVK
