Spirits of Internationalism opens at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and M HKA in Antwerp (Belgium). This exhibition takes place simultaneously in two venues and shows art from six European collections: four museums and two artists' archives. It presents art made between 1956 and 1986, a period marked by fast economic and technological development, but also by international political tension.
Spirits of Internationalism shows how the realities of the Cold War influenced art and changed the meaning of 'the international’ and ‘the regional'.
The exhibition attempts to challenge the simplified image of the 'Three Worlds' by showing familiar and less familiar artworks in surprising constellations. It includes work by internationally well-known artists and artists who deserve to be recognised outside of their own region.
Spirits of Internationalism is the last part of a series of exhibitions developed within the framework of the European collaborative project L'Internationale. The partners in this project are M HKA in Antwerp, MACBA in Barcelona, Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven and Moderna Galerija in Ljubljana, as well as the Július Koller Society in Bratislava and the KwieKulik Archive in Warsaw.
Date: from January 19 to May 6.
Location: M HKA Antwerp. Leuvenstraat 32, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium.
Opening hours: Tuesdays, Wednesday, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 11am to 6pm. Thursdays from 11am to 9pm.
