M HKA Hosts Lawrence Weiner and Liam Gillick Collaborative Installation

exhibition · 2026-04-22

M HKA in Antwerp has invited New York-based artists Lawrence Weiner and Liam Gillick to realize a collaborative installation titled 'A Syntax of Dependency'. The exhibition brings to life hypothetical projects imagined over their 20-year artistic dialogue. Weiner, a conceptual art veteran, and Gillick, known for neo-conceptual and post-conceptual work, interact in M HKA's expansive display space. Gillick's modern sensibility meets Weiner's embodiment of language in material form. The exhibition title features a colon as an 'orthographic anomaly', expressing the non-conclusive nature of dialogue. The installation is site-specific and collaborative, reflecting the open-endedness of their partnership. The exhibition was last updated on 30 May 2023. M HKA is a partner organization of Afterall.
