M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making a particular effort to share its knowledge and give art the framework it deserves.

We are currently focusing on the experience in the museum with this application for smartphones and tablets. In the future this will also lead to a versatile desktop version, which is now still in its construction phase.

L’Africeur de Bogolan (Vêtements), 2004-2005

Installation, variable dimensions.

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp.

With this technique of Bogolan, Narcisse Tordoir made a limited-edition poncho (designed by Walter Van Beirendonck) decorated with the politically charged image highlighted in the world's press in 2000. A 12 year-old Palestinian boy is shot dead in the arms of his father while trying to hide behind a barrel in the Gaza Strip. Tordoir once again came across this image on a mural painting in Islamic-majority Mali.
