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: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. M00047).

In the seventies Lilanga devoted himself to painting and combined acrylic paint and Masonite, which is a type of hardboard. From that time on, Lilanga’s reputation also began to spread beyond his own continent. The works presented here clearly reveal how the artist uses Western materials to serve his purpose. The use of Makonde characters and bright colours creates an impressive display. He links various cultures and traditions in order to convey his experiences and those of his people. These exemplary works by Lilanga function, in the totality of the collection, by way of a contextual deepening of the mural painting by Keith Haring, an artist who was unmistakably influenced by him.
