Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven studied graphic design<br />

at the Fine Arts Academy in Antwerp and has been<br />

prolific in her output of drawings and other works on<br />

paper and synthetic material, as well as short videos,<br />

since the early eighties. A straightforward feminist<br />

tone pervades in all her works, in which the erotic<br />

meets machine-fetishism. Interior, if not domestic<br />

spaces often serve as settings for her drawings and<br />

collages, from which dream-like futuristic enactments<br />

between human and machine-like forms unfold.<br />

In the nineties, hand-made paper works gave way to computer graphics, while<br />

text has always featured alongside images, underlining the message of Van<br />

Kerckhoven’s proud, sometimes exhibitionist female figures like song-lyrics. Music<br />

plays an important role in Van Kerchkoven’s creative production in parallel to her<br />

visual output, and she and Danny Devos have stood as a key pair of the Antwerp<br />

experimental music scene under the band name Club Moral (1981–now).<br />
