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.

Barrière rouge, en perspective, 1996

Installation, variable dimensions.

This work was part of the exhibition La porte de l'Europe (les bourgeois de Calais) in 1996. Calais is a city with a history of a flourishing lace industry – which then moved to Korea and other Asian countries. In some way or other, the works in the exhibition refer to this lost industry. Barrière rouge consists of found material: Durham took the base of a red coat hanger and attached a red cotton thread to it; the thread becomes thinner and thinner.
