Public Figure #4: Iván Argote

For the fourth edition of Public Figure, artist Iván Argote presents Antipodo, a new bronze sculpture about opposite and shared walks of life.

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.

Return, Retrace, Replant

A performative procession by Wendy Morris

The procession Return, Retrace, Replant is a new performative work conceived by Wendy Morris (1960, Namibia) within a new 'Artistic Research Project' (AOP in Dutch). The procession is the culmination of a year of research conducted by Wendy Morris under the theme "Reading the Landscape," in which the Middelheim Museum commissions artists to explore the landscape of the art park.
