Wendy Morris

Middelheim herbarium for midwives

Visual artist Wendy Morris (b. 1960, Namibia) explores how knowledge about plant-based contraception was passed down through the ages. As part of her Artistic Research Project, she is developing a herbarium for midwives based on plants at the Middelheim Museum. She is holding a performance on 24 June.

Art on the Move

In 2023 and 2024, a total of 224 works of art will be given a new home in the art park and at the open-air depot. In the process, some parts of the park will be further upgraded in close partnership with the city of Antwerp's Department for green spaces. There are also new works, including a striking fountain sculpture by Camille Henrot. This new themed presentation brings art and nature even closer together.

Gosie Vervloessem creates the first digital artwork for and about the Middelheim Museum.

Like a detective, performance artist Gosie Vervloessem (b. 1973, Belgium) studies the relationship between humans and the plant kingdom. In her Artistic Research Project, she applies ideas from The Horror Garden (2018) to the landscape of the Middelheim Museum.
