Installation
Materials:

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. M00077_01).

The installation Eurotel (2009) creates a basic accommodation unit for a football fan out of two discarded 'people's cars' from the Soviet past. Made in Ukraine from 1958 onwards and model-led after Fiat 600, ZAZ Zaporozhets carries nostalgic associations for the post-Soviet audience and looks exotically low-tech to westerners. The name Zaporozhets translates into a Cossack of the Zaporizhian Sich or а man from Zaporizhzhia.

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.
