Item: Sorry

2014

Multiple, 35 x 35 x 40 cm.
Materials: 1 glass ice cream bowl, 2 champagne glasses and 1 ceramic coffee cup in a display cabinet (ed. 12 + 3 A.P.)

Collection: M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. M00228).

Each work in Guillaume Bijl’s ‘Sorry’ series is a surreal, absurd and humorous assemblage of found objects. By extracting kitsch elements from everyday reality and reframing them as art, Bijl interrogates the values of mass culture. This work is constructed from plastic consumer goods and refers to a world that runs (wildly) on sugar, coffee and alcohol.

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.
