Item: Kunstmatig Landschap - maquette van ruimte en tijd [Artificial landscape]

Dr. Hugo Heyrman

1968

Sculpture, 150 x 200 x 20 cm.
Materials: styropor covered with coloured felt (attached with pins)

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. S0151).

The ‘Artificial landscape’ of Hugo Heyrman is an artificial landscape made of green felt. This floor-sculpture reminds us of old schoolmaps but reflects on the unexpected relation between complexity and construction; the world on his own. It engages with topology between an utopic arcadia and the concrete.

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.
