About this audio guide
This guide to M HKA in Antwerp starts with a count of the works that opened the museum in nineteen eighty-seven, and goes back a decade to the artist Gordon Matta-Clark and the curator Flor Bex. It follows an empty office block by the Scheldt, a city council that said no, and a plan for a museum that never got its first home. Best heard on the Leuvenstraat, facing the old grain silo.
