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.

Supiltar, 2017

Multiple, 23 x 5 x 7 cm (x2).

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. S0573_01 — S0573_02).

During a residency at London’s Delfina Foundation, Makhacheva staged a special dinner event under the title ‘Gazing At The Highlanders, Gazing From The Highlands’ (2015), exploring questions of memory, history, and geopolitics. The dishes spanned from the time of the Caucasian War (1817-1864) till the present. The food was accompanied by ‘moustache spoons’ (designed to protect facial hair from food spillage)— custom-made replicas of the original early 20th-century Dagestani cutlery from the Dagestan Museum of Fine Arts. Similar to her ‘Caspian Sea’ (2014) performance, the event explored food as a metaphor articulating complex geopolitical histories.
