The piece entitled The Antwerp six or seven that Knorr conceived for the Antwerp Sculpture Show in 2008 was rather more light-spirited, but still not wholly bereft of a critically ironic undertone. At Antwerp's South Docks he mounted a site-specific installation that alluded to the existence of a certain "Antwerp school", as well as to the dependent relationship that the contemporary art scene has to the aesthetic that unites this school... Six particularly well-dressed scarecrows - or are there seven?
