Information
Established in the former Grand-Hornu colliery (an example of 19th century industrial archaeology now listed as UNESCO world heritage), the MACS is acknowledged as one of the most successful examples in northern Europe of the conversion of an abandoned industrial site into a cultural centre. Since it was opened in 2002, the museum has indeed offered a broad public the opportunity to discover major international exhibitions within an architectural showcase that combines the site’s history with contemporary creation.
Located away from major urban centres, the Grand-Hornu site is noted for the genius of the place which for 20 years has inspired a number of internationally recognised artists, including Christian Boltanski, Anish Kapoor, Giuseppe Penone, Tony Oursler, Adel Abdessemed, Matt Mullican and Haim Steinbach, to create specific projects here. As an engaged partner alongside the artists, the MACS supports the production of ambitious works, notably through its artists’ residency policy, undertaken by the museum’s team both in situ and extra-muros (LaToya Ruby Frazier, Fiona Tan and Daniel Turner), and pays particular attention to the visual arts scene in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation through its monograph exhibitions.
Together with the Centre for Innovation and Design of the Province of Hainaut (CID), the MACS forms a cultural hub which, has become a popular destination for art lovers and cultural tourism, not least as it can also offer them the pleasures of a park, a gastronomic restaurant and a specialist design and contemporary art shop.
Supported by a major cultural activities department, the Museum’s mission goes hand-in-hand with an "education in looking".

Das Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst Grand Hornu (MACS) zeigt die spanische Künstlerin Cristina Garrido in ihrer ersten Einzelausstellung in einem Museum in Belgien. Schau dir eine Auswahl ihrer Werke und eine neue Installation an.
Künstlerische Illusionen von Cristina Garrido
Die Künstlerin Cristina Garrido beschäftigt sich damit, wie wir Kunst heute wahrnehmen, vor allem über das Internet und soziale Netzwerke. Bei dieser ersten Ausstellung in Belgien hinterfragt "The White Cube is Never Empty" anhand einer Auswahl von Werken aus dem letzten Jahrzehnt, was ein Kunstwerk wichtig macht und wie der Kontext seinen Wert beeinflusst.
Mit Fotos von früheren Ausstellungen schafft sie optische Täuschungen. Diese verzerrten Bilder verändern sich je nach Blickwinkel und lassen Werke aus der Vergangenheit, die zuvor im Museum ausgestellt waren, wieder erscheinen.
Entdecke auch eine neue Installation vor Ort, die auf die spezifische Architektur des MACS abgestimmt ist.
Eine spannende immersive Ausstellung im Grand Hornu.
