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.

The new collection presentation of the M HKA was composed with the aid of the art(ists') magazineGagarin The Artists in Their Own Words. This twice-a-year publication features exclusive texts which have not been published before and which were written especially for the magazine by artists who are now working all over the world. These texts are an extension of their artistic work and are part of it on a mental level. 
The most recent issue of Gagarin – number ten – came about in dialogue with the M HKA and is the focus of this presentation. The public can view it page by page and there is an exhibition of work from the M HKA collection by the eight artists who contributed: Vito Acconci, Sergei Bratkov, John Körmeling, Mark Lewis, Liang Yue, Maurizio Nannucci, Joëlle Tuerlinckx and Lawrence Weiner.
A selection of works and texts by artists who came to the fore in one of the previous issues completes the Gagarin exhibition. In addition, the finishing touches are some other works from the M HKA collection.
