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.

Ensemble: Het Essentiële [The Essential]

The works selected for this category are clear and strong, both in their idea and their form. They are ‘essential’ because they refuse to compromise their self-evidence, their presence as man-made objects in built space. They are sure of their value. ‘This is it; this is Art’, seems to be their statement. The power of this statement is linked to the context where they were made, the US of the 1960s. The global dominance of the movements to which these works belong – Minimal Art, Conceptual Art – reflects the power of the Western world’s dominant nation.

Some of the works in this ensemble are shown in Antwerp, while others are exhibited in Eindhoven.
