Marinus Boezem in collection presentation S.M.A.K. Gent

On the occasion of its 20th anniversary, S.M.A.K. is presenting ‘The Collection (I): Highlights for a Future’ which includes about 200 works from the collection, included work by Marinus Boezem and, like the opening in 1999, it will occupy the whole museum. In this exhibition, S.M.A.K. wants to look mainly at the present and the future. Well-known classics, outstanding newer works and also recent additions to the collection are to be used to show the position of the museum and of art in contemporary reality and to make new links with other, sometimes surprising and less well-known works in the collection.

With works by Allora & Calzadilla, Francis Alÿs, Harold Ancart, Carl Andre, Giovanni Anselmo, Art & Language, Richard Artschwager, Korakrit Arunanondchai, Salam Atta Sabri, Kader Attia, Sven Augustijnen, Francis Bacon, Nairy Baghramian, John Baldessari, Miroslaw Balka, Artur Barrio, Massimo Bartolini, Gaston Bertrand, Joseph Beuys, Guillaume Bijl, Johanna Billing, Dara Birnbaum, Pierre Bismuth, Marinus Boezem, Michaël Borremans, Charbel-joseph H.
