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: Cuttings

With electric grinding discs and chainsaws, Gordon Matta-Clark ‘draws’, as it were, in/on/through walls, beams, ceilings and floors. He handles buildings like they are manageable works of sculpture.

“The petrified notion that architects build walls and artists decorate them, runs counter to my vision of both professions. A simple cutting, or a series of cuttings, functions as a powerful drawing instrument capable of redefining spatial situations and spatial structural components.” (Gordon Matta-Clark)

By applying incisions and cut-outs to a building, its guts and structures are laid bare. Daylight can now penetrate in unexpected ways. His cuttings make the building readable anew and afresh, breaking through our automatic, everyday perception.
