La leçon d'anatomie (A Progress Report)
05 April 1996 - 25 May 1996

FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Rheims

"I also did a show in Reims. Reims is the French city where all the kings are crowned. I did something completely different there. The show was called An Anatomy Lesson and it was about the breaking up of narrative, my own narratives, but European history narratives at the same time. I wanted to begin talking about a whole bunch of different things and then as usual interrupt myself and not talk about them. I wanted to do that deliberately in some historic way. The French don’t trust art, they only trust narrative, so I wanted especially to disrupt narratives and break them, to make similar narratives and fake narratives." [full text here]

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
