Item: Mao-flag

1971

Photography, 80 x 70 cm.
Materials: photo emulsion, canvas

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. BK3957).

A purely graphic design dominates Mao flag. This poem depicts the US flag, whose stars are made of the letters ‘m’, ‘a’, and ‘o’. The result is a simple commentary on the opportunism of the US Republicans and Chinese Maoists with regard to the historical thaw between the two superpowers.

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.
