EXTRA MUROS: Visite Arenbergschouwburg – ARTberg
Under the umbrella term Visite, the M HKA – in collaboration with LOCUS, the hub for libraries, cultural and community centres and local cultural policy - regularly organised exhibitions outside the museum.
Throughout the 2012-2013 season, Arenberg Theatre in Antwerp showed work of two visiting artists who entered into dialogue with the Arenberg Audience: Ben Vautier and Fabrice Gygi. In collaboration with the students of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp and Sint Lucas Antwerp, the work that the students created based on the artists’ inspiration was shown in the Upper Foyer of Arenberg.

Initially intended as a colour film where the camera, in close-up, shoots the electric plug of the projector lighting the very scene and after 3 minutes the director’s hand jerks the plug out and plunges the rest of the film into darkness, the project was finally made in 1974 but in black & white video. According to Lizène : “has hopes of being boring, not bad at all!”. (source: Argos)
