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.

Literary synopsis

Kathe Burkhart's great-aunt Grace's love letters between 1927–29 to another woman form the basis of the novel Between the Lines. Two young women live through these missives a romantic friendship. These letters are full of eagerness and a love that dares not say its name. The expression of their tenderness for each other goes as far as the time and place allow them: the South at the turn of the 1930s, where the remembrance of the Civil War remains alive, and the effects of the crisis are hard to feel.
