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.

Collection: Stad Antwerpen, in langdurige bruikleen in M HKA (Inv. no. SCA0035).

Pélagie Gbaguidi (b. 1965, Dakar, Senegal) calls herself a contemporary griot and uses the various media art proffers her, ranging from paintings, drawings, texts, and installations to performances to fulfil her task. In West Africa, griots are the custodians and recounters of oral history and myths. Griots are also mediators of present and past, connected to the ancestors, nature, and the elements. For the painting Icon in Progress After the Pink Gbaguidi uses parts of her body to apply paint or pigment to the canvas. Her oeuvre forms a new timeline of colonial and post-colonial history with traces of trauma, symbols, associations, and new, composite archetypes.

 

Pélagie Gbaguidi is represented by gallery Zeno X.
