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.

Hugo Roelandt film by Jess De Gruyter, 2022

Film

Directed by poet and filmmaker Jess De Gruyter, a former student of Hugo Roelandt’s, this documentary presents diverse perspectives on Roelandt’s oeuvre. The film features interviews with key figures from his life, including Roger D’Hondt, the founder of the New Reform art space in Aalst; Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven, Roelandt’s friend and former girlfriend; Johan Pas, the director of the Royal Academy in Antwerp; Marc Holthof, his lifelong collaborator; and Lydia Van Loock, his partner. Archival material highlights the variety of his work while also addressing his impactful teaching practice, the demons that shaped his life, his illness and his meticulously planned final performance. In line with Roelandt’s resourceful way of working, De Gruyter filmed and edited the film himself, using the materials at his disposal.
