Skip The Rope

 "As I write , the beauty and commotion of the last few days and nights flow through my body like an intoxication. For, althogh it is still in the preliminary stages of construction, I declared the new Museum van Heedendaagse Kunst (Museum for Contemporary Art) in Ghent open for the first time for an exhibition of forty artists and a retrospective of Marina Abramovic. Perhaps it might sound unusual - opening the back door when the front door isn't ready yet. But it gives me a nice feeling knowing that the museum never really has to be finished, as it were. In other words, that it should never be dead, never be a tomb for art or a nicely paved passageway only for the elite connoisseurs and collectors of art." _ Jan Hoet, A Yardstick or a Step in Flemish and Dutch Painting - From Van Gogh, Ensor, Magritte and Modrian to contemporary artists

 The Museum van Heedendaagse Kunst was later renamed S.M.A.K.!
