Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp / Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK007488).

The title of Kuzminki refers to a far-flung district in Moscow known for its popular lakeside park. Bratkov asked a number of visitors and passers-by “what Kuzminki means to them” – their idyllic, dreamy answers contrast dramatically with the grim reality of a polluted park which has become a frequent destination for illegal nocturnal waste disposal.

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.
