In visual arts, collaboration is often secondary to the romanticised idea of
individual artistic genius. Challenging the myth of the solitary artist, this
exhibition explores the unique dynamic of collective creativity and looks at how
it influences artistic production.
In addition to works from the S.M.A.K. collection, created between 1959 and 2021
by art collectives, artist duos or one–off collaborations, this exhibition also
displays works deliberately designed to facilitate other works of art.
Includes works by: Philip Metten, Art & Language, Denicolai & Provoost, Bernd &
Hilla Becher, Jos De Gruyter & Harald Thys, Flexboj & L.A., Narcisse Tordoir &
David Neirings, General Idea, Gilbert & George, HAP, David Hammons & Bruna
Esposito, Franz West, Heimo Zobernig, Danh Vo, Apparatus 22, Ex-artists'
