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.

Ensemble: A Historical Landscape of War

A Historical Landscape of War (with a reflection by Yevhenii Monastyrskyi)

The point of departure for the opening space is a historical landscape of war, positioning the current Russo-Ukrainian war in relation to the First and Second World Wars. Yarema Malashchuk and Roman Khimei bring together Berlinde De Bruyckere’s reflection on physicality (WWI) and Jan Cox’s psychological challenge (WWII) with the layered digital reality of today and its unresolved tension between real and fake, between experience and framing.

Jan Cox (Netherlands + Belgium, 1919-1980), Berlinde De Bruyckere (Belgium, 1964), Yarema Malashchuk (Ukraine, 1993) & Roman Khimei (Ukraine, 1992)
