Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Research and reconstruction of the anecdotes, facts and fictions around Belgian modernist architect Leon Stynen’s proposal in 1964 to use Le Corbusier Musée de la Croissance Illimité (1939) as the design for a new museum of contemporary art in Antwerp. It was decided that the new museum should indeed be built in the Middelheim Park, but the project eventually fell through for unclear reasons to date. Winke Noppen traces back the story from the point of view of Corbusier’s museum model. Marije Sennema discusses the contestation of the museum plans by the alternative art center A37 90 89, initiated by a heterogenous group of artists, collectors, gallerists and other parties involved in the Belgian and international art scene such as Kasper König, Isi Fiszman, Carl Andre, Marcel Broodthaers, James Lee Byars, Panamarenko, and many others. |
