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.

"One of the series “Nonzero/Pastime”: two-layered Plexiglass work that mixes certain pages of a 50-ties softporn magazine with the text ECFK that I made in 2003. ECFK is based on a 2002 article on antimatter, found in a Belgian financial newspaper (De Financieel-Economische Tijd).  I systematically replaced the word "antimatter" by " antisade" and turned the rest of the content of this scientific text into a critical exposé on art production after World War II." — AMVK
