Martín La Roche
Introducing the Digital Catalogue of Musée Légitime
05.03
Discover Musée Légitime online! On the occasion of the launch of the online catalogue, Martín La Roche will present the portable museum in a hat live at the KASKcafé.
Musée Légitime is a museum that literally fits inside a hat: Martín La Roche invites artists to create works that are small or immaterial enough to be carried while worn. Through conversation and play, visitors are guided through the stories behind these objects. The museum currently comprises 202 works and 22 museum buildings (hats).
Four years ago, KIOSK invited Martín La Roche to collaborate and explore how they could help extend the narratives of this hat-based institution. This marked the beginning of the construction of a website for Musée Légitime. On March 5, the platform will be launched as the museum’s digital catalogue. The website prolongs the performative experience: visitors can discover which works are currently inside the hat, download the catalogue, and consult details such as weight, year of acquisition, and references to the artists. The museum’s stories, genealogies, and a donation section are also accessible online.
The online catalogue is designed by Dongyoung Lee and developed by Ezekiel Aquino. The project is also supported by the Mondriaan Fonds.Download the catalogue of the works presented on March 5!
