Anna Bella Geiger

° 1933

Born in Rio de Janeiro (BR), lives in Rio de Janeiro (BR).

Anna Bella Geiger is multi-disciplinary artist and a pioneer in the field of video art, both within and outside of Brazil. Frequent trips to New York in the 1970s facilitated her introduction to that medium at a time when that city’s thriving downtown scene effectively emerged as video’s ground zero – and women artists in particular played a crucial part in this revolution.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

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.
