Item: The Antwerp Six or Seven

Daniel Knorr

2008

Installation, 380 x 200 x 30 cm.
Materials: Wood, straw, textile

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. BK7693_M444).

The piece entitled The Antwerp six or seven that Knorr conceived for the Antwerp Sculpture Show in 2008 was rather more light-spirited, but still not wholly bereft of a critically ironic undertone. At Antwerp's South Docks he mounted a site-specific installation that alluded to the existence of a certain "Antwerp school", as well as to the dependent relationship that the contemporary art scene has to the aesthetic that unites this school... Six particularly well-dressed scarecrows - or are there seven?

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.
