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.

Homage to David Hammons, 1997

Installation, Variable dimensions.

Collection: Collection of Karel and Martine Hooft, Belgium.

The stoned urinal hanging on the wall here is a double homage. It is a direct reference to the American artist David Hammons who, is his turn, pays a homage to Marcel Duchamp through his artworks. In this case, the most evident connection is Hammons’ Untitled installation from 1990, when he placed urinals on trees in a forest in Ghent. Jimmie Durham is an admirer of the work of David Hammons, who has proclaimed himself as the CEO of the DOC – the “Duchamp Outpatient Clinic”.
