Ensemble
In the exhibition, Dorothy Iannone's two distinct series (People and Movie People) of painted wooden cutouts converge within a single room, giving rise to an intriguing ensemble. The space exudes the ambience of a miniature theatre, serving as a convergence point — an artistic pantheon —where diverse characters from distant past and present intertwine. In this captivating realm, mythological figures cross paths with pop stars and renowned artists.
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.
The M HKA Ensembles represent our first steps towards initiating the public to today's art-related digital landscape. With the help of these new media, our aim is to offer our artworks a better and fuller array of support for their presentation and public understanding.
