Wout Vercammen

1972-2015

Print, 200 x 100 cm.
Materials: screen print op doek

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp / Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK7838_M532).

For the 2015 INBOX presentation, Wout Vercammen reissued his vividly-coloured silkscreen prints based on his original works from 1972. Orgasme-strijder [Orgasm Warrior] is part of a series of images made up of collected news items from various newspapers and magazines.  For the 2015 reissue, Vercammen placed what were once separate images on top of one another, creating a cohesiveness in terms of content and causing the images' internal discourse to be even more explicit. War, religion, the sexual revolution and the capitalist system are all addressed in Vercammen’s series.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. 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.
