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.

Posters for Antwerpen '93 (from the series ‘On taking on a normal situation’), 1993

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. M00117).

American artist Andrea Fraser made these posters as her contribution for the project Contemporary Art in Antwerp ’93 (Antwerp was European Capital of Culture in 1993). She based her versions on the official poster-design for Antwerpen ’93.

"I didn’t want to exhibit in a museum, but outside, in the city. And I wanted to make a connection with Antwerpen 93, Cultural Capital of Europe. That’s why I took their official posters as my starting-point. The questions posed on the posters contain a lot of suppositions about art and its function in society. By replacing these slogans with other texts, I try to expose these. For example, ‘Do you have to understand art to like it?’, arises from the supposition that if you understand art, then you’ll also like it." - Andrea Fraser
