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.

Confessional Hair and Dirt on Canvas Piece, 2006

Collection: Collection Hunting Beheer bv., The Netherlands.

An odd piece of black-painted canvas (with hair and dirt, so we’re told) hangs on the wall of the exhibition space. It comments on his own bizarre existence, while assuming his status as a work of art since made by an artist: “MR. DURHAM MADE ME WITHOUT STOPPING TO THINK OF HIS ART CAREER NOR, I AM SORRY TO SAY, THE SENSITIVITIES OF THE GENERAL ART PUBLIC”.
