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.

Away with paint. In the 1960s that is the slogan

of Guy Mees. This avant-garde artist exchanges

canvas and charcoal for industrially produced lace

and neon lights. Whether they are round, square or

triangular, these works all bear the enigmatic title

Verloren Ruimte (Lost Space). Just like Verheyen,

Mees plays with concepts such as space and

light. In 1959 they both spend the summer at the

Tempeliershof, an empty farm in Weert, where they

work and write together. For Verheyen, Mees is

‘the painter who showed me the solution’ and

questioned the definition of painting.
