The
first exhibition that will inaugurate the temporary exhibition spaces
of EMST
simultaneously with the Program EMST in the World is a coproduction
of EMST and the Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (M HKA).
The
exhibition entitled Urgent
Conversations: Athens – Antwerp
will be inaugurated on October 31, 2016 and last until January 29,
2017, essentially restarting the temporary exhibition activities of
the Museum, which had been suspended in 2015 due to the relocation at
its permanent home and due to the activities that were taking place
for the operation and receipt of the new building.
The
exhibition aims to be a theoretical and visual dialogue, based on
works from the collections of both Museums, which includes more than
70 works and is structured in 22 thematic units. In April 2017, the
exhibition will travel to Belgium on a smaller scale.
