Crew, Pilot, and Russian Girlfriend (Novorossiysk) 1-10, 1999-2000/2010

Crew, pilot, and Russian Girlfriend (Novorossiysk) portraits ten members of the activist crew on the Global Mariner, a ship destined for destruction that was turned into a floating global exhibition on seafarers’ working conditions and rights, sponsored by the London-based International Transport Workers Federation. The primary target of critique was the system of ‘flag of convenience’ shipping, designed to avoid improving working conditions on the oceans.

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.
