Marianne Berenhaut

1999

Installation, 140 x 105 x 60 cm.
Materials: 1 broom, 1 very small dustpan

Collection: M HKA/ Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK009248).

Marianne Berenhaut creates poetic sculptures assembled from so-called ‘discarded’ objects. An oppressive silence envelops her installations; there is a sense of sadness or foreboding in the air, as if an unknown human fate is being evoked, as if the objects are attempting to re-express a forgotten life story. Through a unique visual language, she tells stories of longing, absence, trauma and memory.

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.
