Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (b. 1951, Antwerp) is an Antwerp-based artist. In her drawings, works on paper and textile, videos, murals, and installations, the erotic meets machine-fetishism with a straightforward feminist tone, intersecting science, philosophy, mysticism, technology, and social issues. In the early 1980s, neuroscientist Luc Steels invited her to the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Brussels to create visual languages with scientific imagery. Since 1981, with her partner Danny Devos, she is part of key experimental band Club Moral. In 2023, she was the second artist featured in the FAÇADE series, KANAL–Centre Pompidou, Brussels.
