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.

Did You Kiss the Dead Body?, 2012

In Ten thousand wiles and a hundred thousand tricks, Kahlon exhibits Did You Kiss the Dead Body?, a series of over-painted US army prisoner autopsy reports, and three of her disconcerting cut-out figures, in which found anthropological images are transformed by added symbols of struggle such as grenades or weapons. These compositions use the strategy of collage to expose the colonial gaze and to give a belated visual rehabilitation to the figures depicted. Appropriating and subverting colonial imagery, Kahlon’s work stems from a desire to, in her own words, ‘deal with the revenge, violence and rage inherent in colonial exchanges’.
