Museum in Motion offers 24 pieces of a future puzzle — 24 key international artistic figures — that may be presented later in the new Flemish contemporary art museum. Focusing on an expanded image of the museum’s collection, the exhibition seeks to reflect its longer-term aspirations. In this way, the presentation signals the beginning of a new trajectory. It is named Museum in Motion after a key book on the particular praxis of contemporary art museums, as this is the specific reflection that will have to be undertaken. The museum will develop its historiography alongside its building process. Presented across both main floors of the museum, this first indicative prefiguration opens up a reflection that will continue as the new building takes shape.
