Seeking new Associate Director

Application deadline: February 17, 2019

Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (M HKA)
Leuvenstraat 32
2000 Antwerpen
Belgium

M HKA, the contemporary art museum of the Flemish Community, is ready to transform itself into a full-scale European contemporary art museum with a permanent collection display, exemplary exhibition spaces, a research wing and a public events forum. An architectural contest will be concluded for a new building towards the end of 2019. The new is scheduled to open in 2026. The transformation we are now embarking on will require an overhaul of all aspects of our work: programme, collections, research, communication, and organisational infrastructure.

Episode 12 in the LET ME BE FRANK web documentary series features the “tacky, wildly colorful loud show of bad taste” that was the Outrageous Beauty Revue. In the late 1970s, the OBR was one of the major public performances created by Frank Moore that ran for 3 ½ years at the punk venue, the Mabuhay Gardens, in San Francisco. In this episode, Frank explores the deeper purposes and hidden dimensions of what appeared to be a wild cabaret show performed by untrained people “just for fun”, and describes the vision the show came from, and which runs throughout Moore’s work: “to create trances and realities which will bring change.”
“Outrageous Beauty Revue” features still photos and video footage of many of the acts from this show. Readings by Vinnie Spit Santino and Steve Davis.
Episode 12 also features “Black Flag’s Audience”, the 6th segment from “How To Handle An Anthropologist”, a recurring animated feature in the Let Me Be Frank series, from the soon-to-be-published book by the same name.

Music by Michael LaBash, Leila & The Snakes, Frank Moore & Vinnie Spit Santino, Vinnie Spit Santino, Gary Ponder, and Mr. Lucky.
