Extra City seeks to be a pathfinder in formatting an institute for contemporary art of the 21st century.
Belgium's simultaneously central and peripheral geographic location allows for the thinking and unthinking of radically different economies for art.
Extra City seeks to be a pioneering platform for exhibitions and reflection, in the centrifugal field that is delineated by the great centers in London (Tate Modern), Paris (Centre Pompidou) and North Rhine-Westphalia (the museums in Cologne and Dusseldorf).
About the venue January 2004 Extra City embarked upon the renovation of a former grain silo at Kattendijkdok.
The complex is made available by the Antwerp port authority and has been renovated in close collaboration with B-architects.
Extra City is situated at the boundary with the old city and disposes of an exhibition surface of approximately 1600 square meters.
The center will stage four large exhibitions yearly.
Extra City benefits the support of Ministerie van de Vlaamse Gemeenschap, stad Antwerpen, provincie Antwerpen and Gemeentelijk Havenbedrijf Antwerpen and is sponsored by De Tijd, Klara, Ahlers and Trouw Natie.
