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.

herman de vries

° 1931

Born in Alkmaar (Netherlands).

herman de vries (1931, the Netherlands, lives in Germany) studies horticulture before becoming an artist in the early 1950s, starting with collages of found objects and gradually becoming more informal and abstract. In the 1960s he is a co-publisher, with Armando and Henk Peeters, of the Dutch journal nul = 0. He also produces paintings and drawings with dots or stripes, some of them shown here. Later de Vries reintegrates gardening in his art. His walled gardens from the 1990s are at the same time physical installations – with real vegetation such as lavender or hops – and highly concentrated poetic images.
