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.

Head, 2006

Sculpture, 25 x 45 x 45 cm.

Collection: Collection of Maurizio Morra Greco, Naples.

In 2006, the group exhibition Heads opened in London. According to Sprovieri Gallery’s press release, “much of the work in the exhibition has taken the purposelessness of making a portrait today as its point of departure. In dispensing with the history of the subject, the head assumes a peculiar versatility.” Jimmie Durham’s Head on a plate made for the same exhibition takes us closer to a more specific iconography: that of the head of St John the Baptist, regularly depicted with two heads, one attached to his body and another upon a plate either in his hands or at his feet.
