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.

Since leaving Maison Margiela in 2009, Martin Margiela (°1957, Genk) has devoted himself exclusively to the visual arts. The Vanitas installation is made of five silicone balls of artificial skin into which natural hairs have been implanted. The work is an abstract portrait of a woman and the traces left by the passage of time. Unlike the Dutch vanitas paintings of the 17th century that often evoke the vanity of earthly goods, knowledge and pleasures, Margiela's installation seems to show man himself as a representation of vanity. The Vanitas installation was purchased together with the Fashion Museum Antwerp (MoMu).
