Collected with Vision at the KMSKA (Royal Museum of Fine Arts, Antwerp), a group exhibition featuring works by artists D.D. Trans, Tadashi Kawamata and Erwin Wurm. The exhibition opens on April 4, 2025.
The exhibtion, curated by Geukens & De Vil Projects, interweaves post-war and contemporary art with the existing museum collection. The themed rooms and works of the old masters will be given a contemporary injection with works by internationally renowned and established artists, drawn from Belgian private collections, updating the KMSKA collection. Alongside works by D.D. Trans, Tadashi Kawamata and Erwin Wurm, the exhibition presents a diverse selection of influential figures in contemporary art, including Cindy Sherman, Olafur Eliasson, David Claerbout, Francis Alÿs, Christian Boltanski, Tracey Emin, Marlene Dumas, Luc Tuymans, and Louise Bourgeois.
Collected with Vision highlights the importance of collecting and questions the role of museums and private collectors. Belgium has a rich history of art collecting. Collecting is in the Belgian's DNA, so to speak. Moreover, the KMSKA's collection has also grown into what it is today through several important donations and bequests. Visitors are now offered the unique opportunity to discover works of art from the hidden treasure troves of Belgian private collectors.
The exhibition will open at the KMSKA on April 4 and will run until October 12, 2025.
