LATT: Graphology Chapter 4 — Focus on Cinematography
25 August 2011 - 25 September 2011

M HKA, Antwerpen

Graphology explored in four episodes the automatisms that may crop up in drawing. The human hand as a seismograph of the inner stirrings, but conversely, the 'unconscious mechanics' of the machine, which imposes itself on the human eye. In what way do graphic reproduction techniques lead a life of their own? A series of exhibitions at the intersection of drawing, photography, printmaking, film and computer graphics. 

The fourth episode interpreted the cinématographe, as patented by the Lumière brothers, in the most literal sense: as a graphical method to (re-)produce movement, a script of fragmented light images, a game of analysis and synthesis. This was the last episode of Graphology. The series was shown from May 2012 in the Drawing Room in London.


With work by Juliana Borinski, Marcel Broodthaers, Morgan Fisher, Nikolaus Gansterer, Sandra Gibson, Wim Janssen, Man Ray and Dominique Somers.

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.
