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 Monument of Apologies, 2015

The Monument of Apologies (2015) is closely related to Belgium’s African present and past. The performance takes place in the Matonge area of Brussels, a focal point for the country’s large Congolese expatriate community. In the video, we see Kukama maneuvering a roller bag (this time it is black) through its streets. Only she is moving forward; everyone else – everything else – is moving backward. In the postcard, we see her covering her face with a black scarf. It is as if Kukama is appropriating the very European notion of black as the colour of mournful commemoration.
