Emilio López-Menchero

2015

Mixed Media
Materials:

Collection: Collection Province de Hainaut / Dépôt BPS22, Charleroi.

Emilio López-Menchero was invited to take part in the collective project Le Grand Large. Territoire de la Pensée, which was featured in “Mons 2015. European Capital of Culture”. Artists were offered the chance to create a flag. López-Menchero chose to mark his flag with a unique feature of his identity, his fingerprint. By doing so the artist opposed the claims banners have for uniting under a single simple emblem. The design of a ‘personal flag’, in which he can express himself in all his non-reproducible identity, leads to the loss of any political or collective meaning the flag might hold.

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.
