Item: Snake Eyes!

2006

Collage, 125 x 81 cm.
Materials: collage, wood

Collection: Collection of Mima and César Reyes, Puerto Rico.

In Snake Eyes! objects (or pieces of objects) stuck to a wooden panel are accompanied by short text fragments revealing us hints of a story. This combination of words and things builds a non-linear narrative that we can read through the composition of the panel. At the same time, Durham’s words seems to, in the opposite direction, justify the presence of all these elements.

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.
