Christophe Terlinden

2006

Installation, 80 x 113 cm.
Materials: attache case, plasticine

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. BK7629_M397).

Christophe Terlinden touches on unexpectedly simple solutions for seemingly complex situations; in so doing, he points to the essence of a problem. He observes his surroundings and interferes with simple yet effective actions. He plays with the things that are already there, but enriches them. An not so attentive spectator doesn't even notice the intervention – which is minimal but opens possibilities for reflection.

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.
