Anne-Mie Van kerckhoven born in 1951 in Antwerp (BE), lives and works in Antwerp Borgerhout (BE)

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven studied graphic design at the Fine Arts Academy in Antwerp and has been prolific in her output of drawings and other works on paper and synthetic material, as well as short videos, since the early eighties. A straightforward female tone pervades in all her works, in which the erotic meets machine-fetishism. Interior, if not domestic spaces often serve as settings for her drawings and collages, from which dream-like futuristic enactments between human and machine-like forms unfold. In the nineties, hand-made paper works gave way to computer graphics, while text has always featured alongside images, underlining the message of Van Kerckhoven's proud, sometimes exhibitionist female figures like song-lyrics. Music plays an important role in Van Kerchkoven's creative production in parallel to her visual output, and she and Danny Devos have stood as a key pair of the Antwerp experimental music scene under the band name Club Moral (1981–now).

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven was invited for a solo-exhibition project, Nursing care, in Melancholy Stupor at the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst in Antwerp (B) in 1999. Van Kerckhoven participated in the group exhibition Dream Extensions in SMAK Ghent in 2004. She had a large solo show at the Kunsthalle in Bern (CH), beginning 2005. In 2006–2007 she got a DAAD-stipendium to work in Berlin (DE), which resulted in a solo exhibition at the DAAD. A large retrospective solo exhibition travelled to the Kunstmuseum Luzern (CH), Wiels Brussels (BE), Kunsthalle Nürnberg (DE) and FRAC Pays de la Loire Carquefou (FR) in 2008–2009. Anne-Mie was also selected to participate in Manifesta 7 in Italy in 2008 and and at the end of 2009 she presented new work at Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp (BE). In 2011 and 2012 Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven had major solo exhibitions at the Renaissance Society in Chicago (US) and Mu.ZEE, Ostend (BE).
