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.

Types of Pipes, by Magritte, 1993

Mixed Media, 61 x 61 cm.

Collection: Private Collection, Brussels.

The twin paintings Types of Pipes, by Magritte and Types of Murder Weapons, by Maigret were made for an exhibition in Brussels in 1993. The same collection of objects (different kinds of tubes and pipes) is presented twice, with different titles and signatures, playing with the double meaning of the word “pipe”. The first is signed by Renée Magritte (whose famous Ceci n’est pas une pipe need not to be explained, especially when in Brussels) and the second by inspector Maigret, the famous character from George Simenon’s stories (who besides investigating crimes also had pipes as a trademark).
