Mark Manders

1994

Installation, 102 x 21 x 28 cm.
Materials: mixed media

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp - Donation Friends of M HKA, 1995 (Inv. no. S0065).

*‘Fragment from self-portrait as a building (bundle of mistakes)’* is a fine metal framework to which all manner of found objects – among which, a desiccated mouse – are attached. This sculpture, which in principle may stand alone, can also be integrated into the larger installation *Fragment from self-portrait as a building* (1993). This is why the work is characteristic for Mark Manders’ oeuvre, where the separate works (as virtual rooms) ultimately all are components of his total *self-portrait as a building*.

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.
