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.

22.2.1982
New York, Park Avenue

In collaboration with friend and artist Anson Seeno, Fabre makes and signs small drawings on dollar bills. He tries to sell these and bags of salt as visual art works to passers-by. This performance touches upon the value of the artist’s signature. 

 

'It's really great doing things without planning them.
Just for fun.
Today I did a performance with Anson Seeno
on Park Avenue (Uptown).
We set ourselves up at a table outside a bank.
We signed packets of salt and 1 dollar notes
and tried to sell them.
Didn't sell anything, but had a fantastic blazing
argument with a group of sometimes
10 to 15 passers-by on the miraculous relationship
between capitalism and art.'

(Jan Fabre, New York, 22 February 1982)
