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.

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. BK3350).

On only one occasion did De Vree start drawing expressively with photographic material. For the poem Love (1973), limbs of dancers were cut from photographs and skilfully assembled to form the word ‘love’. The bodily postures, which were previously reproduced photographically, are isolated and appear against a white background, although the fragmented picture loses nothing of its readability and impact. The legs and arms also serve an erotic function, given the ‘free’ postures the figures have adopted. This poem was published in an edition of 200 copies by De Vereniging in Ghent in 1976.
