Much of Van
Eck's focus at the MCA had been on audience engagement and extending the MCA's reach into the community, as seen in exhibitions such as Here / Not There, Hide and Seek: An Out of
Gallery Experience, Theaster Gates: Temple Exercises, and Tino Sehgal's Kiss.
As Benjamin
Eck, the owner of the
gallery and the initiator of ARTLAB MUNICH, explains, the project is «a fresh innovation, which brings the spirit of young, extraordinary and inspiringly different art — no matter what kind — into the
gallery».
