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.

Hommage à Filliou 2, 2003

Installation

"The show [at the Venice Biennale, 2003] was curated by the artist Gabriel Orozco, with the instruction that we would attempt to make spontaneous and quotidian pieces, things with a strange common-ness. I found a piece of grey PVC pipe that had so much pigeon dung on it that it looked like a stalagmite formation.

I then placed it along with the sign, (...) “Please do not shit on this piece,” next to a work by another artist which had the warning, “Please do not sit on this piece.” My real work in the show was called Homage to Robert Filliou, so I called the joke piece Homage to Robert Filliou 2, because I thought it had something of the spirit of some of Filliou’s work."
