Auguste Orts: Correspondence (M HKA)

‘Auguste Orts: Correspondence’ at M HKA, Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp.

Auguste Orts’ second group show covers the ground floor of M HKA. Taking its cue from a previous presentation at LUX 28, London, the exhibition includes screen works by the 4 artists and puts on display the letters they have been writing to each other as well as to the show’s curator. The correspondence touches upon individual motifs and motivations, and probes into shared affinities and common interests. ‘Auguste Orts: Correspondence’ includes the premiere of two Auguste Orts productions: ‘Oh’ by Anouk De Clercq and ‘Dear Steve’ by Herman Asselberghs.
