AMVK's daily blog "Chapter of Opening the Mouth of Time".

The Agency is pleased to present "Reflecting Another Space", with works by Anne-Mie van Kerckhoven (B), Arocha/Schraenen (B) and Katie Grinnan (USA). The works presented range from installation to prints on Perspex, objects made from clothing and video.

From 29 may till 29 june 2007 AMVK resided in the "Villa" of 1918 ArtSPACE in the French Concession in Shanghai, China. This resulted in participation to the exhibition "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" from 1 july till 8 august 2007.

On friday 16 march 2007 two exhibitions by AMVK opened in Berlin - at the DAAD galerie and at Galerie Barbara Thumm. Find more information here. As of 26 march 2007 a 3-day program of AMVK films was shown at Arsenal Kino.

On May 26th 2006 the exhibition "EXTREMITIES" opened in the brand new Museum of Modern Art Artetage/FENTU in Vladivostok, Russia. Participating artists were Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven, Dirk Braeckman, Luc Tuymans, Guillaume Bijl and Panamarenko. The first three made works in situ. "12 x 2005 are the 12 images that I finished on computer in 2005. They are the continuation of the "19 philosophical rooms" I constructed in the past 6 years."

'EZFK' is AMVK's latest exhibition at the Kunsthalle Bern. It assembles a variety of works, including drawings, lightboxes and a series of HeadNurse installations. The show also includes 'Dieper' and 'Rorty, the HeadRoom', AMVK's two major multimedia installations. A web directory about AMVK in Switzerland follows the development of the EZFK show in Bern.

'The HeadNurse-files' is a book that drives various visions of the HeadNurse into a dialogue with its visual presency. By means of installation shots, film stills and artistic images, 'The HeadNurse-files' present an overview of the projects' development from 1995 to 2004 and possibly beyond.

'The Populace' is AMVK's contribution to the exhibition 'Footnotes & Context' in the University Library of Leuven.

The NAK (Neuer Aachener Kunstverein) project 'How Reliable is the Brain?' is a most overdue attempt to present the work of Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven in Germany. With regard to interdisciplinary discourses on artist's contents and media, the work of AMVK is to be explored as a widely unknown and most significant reference - given her long term multi-media investigations from the mid 1970s to 2004.

Rorty - the HeadRoom: What you see is the projection of a semi-quiet, distorted image of an interior that comes to life by walking into it. A net of sensors creates an invisible grid in the installationroom: the visitor walks in it and activates certain hyperlinks. In the exhibition 'Dream Extensions', SMAK (Gent) from 17 january 2004 till 21 march 2004.

Anti-Sade at Zeno X Storage - 6 September - 18 October 2003

Dieper/Deeper - The anti-strategy of every modernistic rule of reduction loses its power in the inevitable confrontation with the abstract systems of radical negation and refusal. Deeper uses that modernist rule of reduction as an element of style to descend into the essence of matter by use of some kind of anti-evil. Therefore also to descend in thought, searching for the immoral, the anti-matter. Deeper in the substance, further away from hell, along with symbolism, into the abysses of the human, that is the intention.

Images from the HeadNurse exhibition in Kunstalle Loppem. On show were about 100 colored paintings, and 2 computer-animated video-installations. The 12-minute video "Moral Rearmament" can be seen in the HeadNurse Movietheatre Online.
