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.

For Jef Verheyen, painting is like a liturgy. It is a celebration of colour. He is interested in the symbolism of colours, the emotions they evoke and the interaction between colour and meaning. A reproduction of Jean Fouquet's Madonna hung in his studio. Verheyen's diptych Lux est Lex hangs here beside that 15th-century masterpiece, a work that was originally part of a diptych. Both artists play with the contrast between blue and red, between cold and warm. The cherubim and seraphim become fields of colour. Verheyen's diptych is an homage to a painting that is so modern in character that it appears surreal. It could just as well have been painted today.
