Christian Megert

1968

Sculpture, 50,5 x 50,5 x 8 cm.
Materials: Mirror glass and aluminium

Collection: Formerly Jef Verheyen and Dani Franque collection, now Jef Verheyen Archive.

A canvas with stainless steel reflectors, by Hermann

Goepfert. A composition with mirror surfaces, by

Christian Megert. A sculpted torsion form, by Walter

Leblanc. Unlike his colleagues, Verheyen does not

experiment with mirror, glass or steel. He paints in

oil on burlap and sticks to the two-dimensional

canvas. All these works nevertheless have one

thing in common: they are in constant dialogue

with the light. Verheyen and the ZERO artists invite

us not to stand still and stare, but rather to move

past the works. In that way we activate light and

space and become part of the work.

 

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.
