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.

Frank Stella

° 1936

Born in Malden (Massachusetts) (United States), lives in New York (United States).

Frank Stella (1936, US, lives in New York) studied painting and art history. The paintings from the seven years after his graduation in 1958 have become canonical. They consist of patterns of regular lines marked with unsteady penmanship, at first restricted to white on black square canvases but gradually becoming more colourful and exploring other geometrical forms. From the 1970s Stella made reliefs in dynamic and unpredictable combinations of colours, figures and textures. The later work is heterogeneous and overtly subjective, something Stella opposed in his early career, but also made from more durable materials like metal and carbon fibres.
