INBOX: Bert Lezy
(c) Bert Lezy
M HKA reserves its fifth floor for surprising interventions and intimate pop-up presentations. INBOX is a place that inspires and surprises, one that offers us a glimpse into the world of passionate thinkers and doers. With INBOX, M HKA creates a physical space in which the museum addresses often-recurring questions.
In the periods between the various events, we present a selection of our collection works, with particular attention to video art.
INBOX can be visited for free.
Antwerp artist Bert Lezy (°1970) creates graphics, videos, audio collages, improvisational performances and live action drawings. He is also responsible for the radio programme Blaastaal on Radio Centraal.
A constant in this amalgam of activities has existed since the 1st of January 2016: The Daily Lezy. Every day a drawing is published on a well-known social media outlet. These drawings are gathered yearly into a book. For his INBOX-presentation, Lezy gladly nails these original drawings to the wall.
There will also be preliminary studies, prints of digitally composed drawings, posters, wall paintings and body graphics. Every drawing is linked to a date in the year 2018. Additionally, there are a number of videos on view and a Blaastaal soundtrack to listen to.
Every day of the exhibition Bert Lezy will add a drawing. At the beginning of 2019 part three of The Daily Lezy will appear in a book. If you sign up for this, you will immediately receive a Bertificaat (Bertificate). The book will be presented on Art's Birthday, 17 January 2019, in the M HKA.
