DE BEELDBANK [THE IMAGE BANK]

Ensemble

Marshall’s production of images looks to tackle what he refers to as “a lack in the image bank”, looking at images from across the spectrum of culture – from art and society – using them to produce a new body of images addressing what he sees. He has collected images over many years, focusing predominantly on the black subject, and uses this archive of images as a material for developing a dialogue on representation. His personal archive of image clipings can be seen in the installation Baobab Ensemble, Gleaning: An Image Reclamation Project, located in numerous spots throughout exhibition.

Take a look here and send us your images through gleaning@muhka.be, convince Kerry James Marshall and maybe your picture will find oneself in the following Gleaning: An Image Reclamation Project.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
