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.

The Belgian artist Hugo Roelandt was one of the pioneers of performance art in Belgium in the 1970s and 1980s. He was an artist's artist who operated outside of the art market and had a keen eye for society. Combining his vision on photography and performance art, Roelandt developed a personal mixture of performance and installation art which he labeled as post performance.

Hugo Roelandt donated part of his legacy to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, where he taught photography. Both the Academy and his partner, Lydia Van Loock, decided to preserve the artist’s archive in its entirety as a research platform and donate it to the M HKA. The museum will use its knowledge and expertise to conserve and document the artist’s archive and make it accessible to contemporary artists, students, researchers and the general public. The archive runs from roughly 1973 to 2015, and this presentation starts with archive material from the 1970s.

In collaboration with Lydia Van Loock and Marc Holthof.
