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!

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employees, artists, critics and theorists result in a comprehensive mix of institutional criticism, supplemented by historical documents and art-related statements.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.
