2009

Installation
Materials: wood, plastic, paper

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. M00077_02).

Bratkov's installation Boxes stages the setting for some of his child related series in the M HKA collection, such as Bedtime Stories and Kids (Children). Colourful children's drawers and cabinets are spread over the space, their doors playfully left ajar. A peek inside soon reveals an ominous reality: each of the drawers is hiding a little scene of an 'abused' toy.

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.
