Ready, Not made

Kunst in de Stad and the Antwerp Academy of Fine Arts together collaborate to investigate the artistic potential of the public art collection. The result of this process is the publication Ready, Not made

Artistic research: 5 cases

Five young artists each select a work from the Antwerp Public Art Collection and investigate its meaning, maker and materialisation. Next, they propose one hypothetical intervention or alteration to this existing artwork, altering our understanding or appreciation of it. 

  • Luca Dal Vignale investigated Luc Tuymans’ monumental mosaic Dead Skull 
  • Shayli Harrison explored the enigmatic Deep Fountain by Cristina Iglesias 
  • Paul Müller researched the replica of Michelangelo’s David 
  • Marcelo Venzon takes the Saluting Admiral Couple by Guillaume Bijl on a trip around the world 
  • Elle Verstraeten lays bare the performative potential of Ann Demeulemeester’s bench
