Spirits of Internationalism took place simultaneously at the Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven and at the M HKA. The exhibition was a reflection on the tension between the international and various regional and local art scenes. They revalued the often ambiguous relationship of the Belgian/Flemish and Dutch art scene of the 60s and 70s against the domination of international and canonised art.

Each of the works in MIND THE GAP operates between and within signs in order to discover, tease out, and make manifest meaning that is neither obvious nor orthodox. The artists presented here respond to our world with particular intelligence and sensitivity to these gaps. It is in their natures to be radical, and each questions and provokes in their own way.
