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.

Laure Prouvost (°1978) is best known for her immersive installations which she assembles using different techniques, media and found objects. As in her idiosyncratic films and paintings, she emplloys these alienating settings to question the relationship between fiction and reality. She connects mental processes like dreaming, remembering and imagining with psychoanalytic, philosophical and artistic references. Her oeuvre is peppered with reflections on the complex workings of language.
This Sign Dreams of Breaking Front Tears (2022) is part of an ongoing series of paintings where she displays statements and reflective phrases in white capital letters on a black background. By naming the intention of the sign (‘this sign dreams of...’), Prouvost punctures the obviousness of language in society. With ‘front tears’, she in turn refers to the miscommunication that nestles in the spaces between written and spoken language: contextually, after all, ‘frontiers’ fits the sentence better.
