Objects

Ensemble

"Artists now work with what is called conceptual methods and supposedly don’t use objects. But you can’t not use objects. A TV monitor is an object, a wall with a projection on it is the wall with a projection on it—it’s very much an object. I still see the stretched canvas, and I like seeing the stretched canvas. I don’t see the painting in perspective; I don’t believe that it looks like reality, that its perspective copies nature. I don’t believe that it’s removed nature; I think it is paint on canvas with a certain trick called perspective that is just a little trick." [full text [here](http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/3194)]

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.
