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 Artist Without Works – A guided tour around nothing, 2009

Performance

The performance is exactly what the title says: it is a guided tour around the work of an artist who does not produce any works. The monologue was written by García in 2009. Its starting point was her reading of Jean-Yves Jouannais’ book: Artistes sans oeuvres: I would prefer not to (1997), where an answer is sought to an impossible question: How to perform the radical artistic act par excellence, producing nothing, and remain at the same time within the artistic practice? The monologue is structured like a guided tour in five stops, the last one being the same as the first.

First performed at Fondation Ricard, Paris (2009)
