Window on Infinity - Room De Keyserzaal

‘Mechelen Marauder fractures space. Its ephemeral, translucent, cylindrical form reinforces the rotational movement in space. Our aim is to provoke thought by destabilising space. The mirror, as an everyday object, functions as a medium that simultaneously attracts and repels. The repulsion varies from viewer to viewer as it fractures one’s image along with all that crosses its path. It extends like a whirlwind between the circular floor mosaic and the glass ceiling – like something that barely seems to stop.’

Carla Arocha & Stéphane Schraenen, 2023

 

 

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.
