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.

Ladies & Gentlemen, 2001

Book, 15,5 x 10, 5 cm.

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. B 2024/718).

In our society, we are used to watch signs everywhere at every moment, so much that we take them for granted. "Ladies and gentlement" is an album with pictures taken of women and men toilet signals all over the world by Antonio Muntadas.

Signs in different languages, with different graphics or with different colours. During a long period of time Muntadas has been photographing images that identify public spaces which became in private because of their use and function. Symbols that refer to a universally accepted gender division (male-female distinction). Concepts that are part of an artificial construction deriveted from biological sex differences (male and female).
