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: Hugo Roelandt — PERFORMANCE AND POST PERFORMANCE

Though his experiments in dismantling the conventions of performance had already begun in the 1970s, Roelandt began the series he described as ‘post performance projects’ in 1980. He developed the series as a reaction to the bourgeois institutionalisation of performance, and thus the imposition of certain conditions and expectations—foremost among which were the presence of the artist and the dedicated time and space of the live moment. He created Post Performance Project 1 (1980), in which machines take over, in collaboration with Paul Geladi. Recordings made of a phone conversation and answering machine ‘talk’ to each other, with the artist sitting listening to his own voice. Dismantling the component parts of performance, these post performance works, which also diverged into public space, shifted the emphasis to an investigation into the processes and reception of art, and into individual and social behaviour.
