The work consists of a few human-like figures in gray, brown clay and a series of objects that are arranged on the ground in a precise composition, and where Manders gives free rein to his well-known obsession with the number 5. On instruction of the artist, here the M HKA itself can provide the architectural framework: the \u0026ldquo;room\u0026rdquo; is demarcated by an improvised wall of Ytong-blocks on the one side and a taut plastic sheet on the other. The \u0026lsquo;self-portrait as a building\u0026rsquo; is an ongoing work-in-progress. When the things in the building are differently ordered or positioned, (our look at) the self-portrait of the identity of the artist is also changed. It is an investigation into identity, an identity with different sides, an identity that is evolving.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eE\u0026eacute;n van de \u0026quot;kamers\u0026quot; uit het monumentale totaalwerk van Mark Manders\u0026#39; \u003cem\u003ezelfportret als gebouw\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;heet \u003cem\u003eFragment uit zelfportret als gebouw\u003c/em\u003e\u0026nbsp;(1993) en werd door het M HKA aangekocht in 1998. Het werk bestaat uit enkele mensachtige figuren in grauwe, bruine klei en een reeks objecten die in een precieze compositie op de vloer zijn uitgestald en waarin Manders zijn bekende obsessie met het getal vijf de vrije loop laat. Het M HKA kan daar, op voorschrift van de kunstenaar, zelf het architecturale kader bij voorzien: de \u0026quot;kamer\u0026quot; wordt afgebakend door een ge\u0026iuml;mproviseerde muur van Ytong-blokken enerzijds en een strak gespannen plastic folie anderzijds. Het \u0026lsquo;zelfportret als gebouw\u0026rsquo; is een continu work-in-progress. Wanneer de dingen in het gebouw anders geordend of geplaatst worden, verandert ook (onze kijk op) het zelfportret of de identiteit van de kunstenaar. Het is als het ware een onderzoek naar identiteit, een identiteit met verschillende kanten, een identiteit die evolueert.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":758,"name":"Mark Manders","category":{"en":"Creator","nl":"Vervaardiger","fr":"Créateur"}}]}
