Vleeshal Markt is situated in the former town hall on the market of Middelburg. The space, a former meat market, is characterized by its Gothic architecture. It has influenced and inspired dozens of artists who have created special installations for the space. Artists such as John Baldessari, Jimmie Durham, Mark Manders, Nedko Solakov, Yona Friedman, Art and Language have created site-specific installations for the Vleeshal. Other artists that have exhibited in Vleeshal over the years include Hans Haacke , Herman de Vries, Carolee Schneemann, Panamarenko, Christian Boltanski, Pipilotti Rist, Falke Pisano, Simone Forti, Cally Spooner and Ola Vasiljeva.

In 2015, Vleeshal kicked off its nomadic programme, as an extension of its existing exhibition programme in Middelburg. Since then, Vleeshal has collaborated with Art Rotterdam, Spring Performance Festival and Amsterdam Art Weekend, where performances and works by Oceans Academy of Art (OAOA), Les Trucs, Simone Forti and Freddie Mercado were shown.

Collection

Since 2005, the Vleeshal collection is stored at MHKA Antwerpen as part of a long term loan. MHKA handles the conservation and loan applications of the collection. The collection includes works by artists such as Mona Hatoum, Jimmie Durham, Marlow Moss, Marcel Duchamp, Nina Beier & Marie Lund, Marinus Boezem and more. Works by Joëlle Tuerlinckx and Marlow Moss are currently on view at the Antwerp museum.
