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.

Per Kirkeby

° 1938

Born in Kopenhagen (DK).

Per Kirkeby completed his geology degree and as an artist he has close ties to Neo-Expressionism. In 1973 Kirkeby expanded his practice from paintings and drawings, to conceptual brick sculptures that reference universal building types. He also directs plays and films and writes poetry.

Kirkeby’s paintings are composed of jagged panes of earthy colours that evoke landscapes and a natural experience. Kirkeby doesn’t focus on the subject, the art of painting is an aim in itself. His works are at the meeting point of the abstract and the figurative.
