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'
collective (Anikó Loránt, Kaszás Tamás), Audrey Cottin, Alexis Gautier, Anna &

Description
Design enthusiasts have two reasons to rejoice in 2021! There is not just the long-awaited extension of the Design Museum, Ghent designer duo Muller Van Severen also celebrate their 10th anniversary. This is the ideal opportunity to celebrate this jubilee with an exhibition.
In this exhibition, the Design Museum’s collection enters into a dialogue with the designer duo’s creations in one large installation. Their inspiring oeuvre of sculptural furniture and objects interacts beautifully with their selection of about one hundred collection items.
In the historical salons, they show their track record through the eyes of 10 key figures who played a crucial part in their development.
