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.

Collection: Reinking Collection, Hamburg.

The Road Not Taken is a wooden figure with a horse skull from which electrical cables with loose ends come out. The photo seen here shows this artwork as it was first exhibited in the St. Elisabeth-Kirche in Berlin. This Neo-Classical building from 1835 served as a church before it was almost totally destroyed during World War II except for its outside walls. It remained a ruin for more than 40 years until it became a venue for concerts and exhibitions. Jimmie Durham has made the ensemble of works shown at the exhibition Metaphrase/Metathesis in 2007 especially for this space.
