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.

Splitting, 1974

Video, 00:09:40.

Collection: M HKA / Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. BK7766_M493_1).

In this film Matta-Clark documents his intervention in an average American wooden house on Humphrey Street in Englewood, New Jersey. He saws through the middle of the house. Pieces of the foundation are then carefully removed so that the whole gently folds open into two symmetrical parts. Splitting was carried out in a neighbourhood in transition from a black to a white neighbourhood, so the existing population was forced to move. He breaks open the form of standardised houses which, as a result of all sorts of rules and modularisation had become uniform.
