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: Das Militär

©Panamarenko

The military references that occur throughout Panamarenko’s oeuvre arise out of childhood memories of WWII. In the drawings of the Barada Jet ((V1) we see, at the rear of the fuselage, a classic reaction engine that looks like a German V1. This is a clear reference to the artist’s wartime childhood. In his first exhibition at the C.A.W. (Comité voor Artistieke Werking) in Antwerp, Panamarenko showed Koperen plaatjes met kogelgaten (Copper plates with bullet-holes), a work of chance whose title leaves nothing to the imagination. During the Antwerp happenings in the 1960s, Panamarenko regularly appeared in a general’s uniform or pilot’s outfit, with a Russian cap on his head. In the years that followed he referred to military jargon in words and images. The uniformed figures that occasionally make use of his devices were invariably fitted out with a helmet, goggles or a water bottle.
