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.

Often working with fictional prose, Ruth Sacks’s works examine historical material to create multifaceted viewpoints on issues relevant for the contemporary political moment. Written during the period the artist lived in Belgium, False Friends is a detective story inspired by Edgar Allen Poe’s Murders at the Rue Morgue (1841), considered to be the first detective novel. False Friends follows the murder of a mother and daughter, which becomes overshadowed by sinister political undertones. The story takes place in Antwerp in 2007, which was a time of deepening anti-immigrant tension following four murders that happened around the country in the previous year. Also reflecting on the politics of language, the narrator of False Friends only speaks Dutch, the detective only French and all texts within texts are in English.

*Artist’s book originally published in an edition of 500.
First edition published by Kunstverein, Amsterdam.
Second edition published by Garamond Press.
