In 2005 the M HKA held an exhibition called ‘Dear ICC. Aspects of contemporary art in Belgium 1970-1985’, which resulted from research into this period by the art historian Johan Pas. This research is now being extended in a new series of LATT exhibitions on the situation of contemporary art – meaning the avant-garde and new art – in Antwerp in the 50s and 60s. This series revolves around the G58 group of avant-garde artists (the ‘G’ stands for ‘group’ and the 58 refers to the year they held their first exhibition) and consists of five instalments covering the period when G58 played a part in contemporary art in Antwerp – their titles refer to five of G58’s exhibitions and the accompanying catalogues. Each instalment includes a number of works of art from the exhibitions concerned, combined with such documentation as photos of installations, catalogues and other printed matter, press articles and so on. Each instalment is also linked to the work of a young Belgian artist whose work fits in with it.
