An artist, an inventor and a visionary, Panamarenko has conducted an exceptional long-term research on concepts such as space, movement, flying, energy and gravity. His work is a combination of an artistic insight and a technological experimentation.
As an introduction to his practice M HKA has mapped out almost his entire oeuvre in a chronologically and thematicly structured digital platform. M HKA would like to share the gathered information further with the public. Welcome to the digital archive!

C. Blotkamp (et al., red.), Museum in Motion? The modern art museum at issue/Museum in Beweging? Het museum voor moderne kunst ter diskussie, Government Publishing Office/Staatsuitgeverij Den Haag 1979

After Jean Leering retired as director of the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (1964-'73), collector Martin Visser took the initiative to document his work. Ultimately it becomes much more than a retrospective of ten years of museum directorship in Eindhoven. Various essays by museum employees, artists, critics and theorists result in a comprehensive mix of institutional criticism, supplemented by historical documents and art-related statements. Museum in Motion documents a burst of energy.
