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.

Jules Schmalzigaug

1882 - 1917

Born in Antwerp (Belgium), died in Netherlands.

Jules Schmalzigaug ranks as the sole Belgian futurist. After seeing the futurist exhibition at Bernheim-Jeune in Paris in 1912, he travels to take up residence in Venice. He distances himself from his academic training, and becomes strongly attracted to the dynamism and light found in futurist works. In 1914 he exhibits paintings at the ‘Esposizione libera futurista internazionale’ in Rome. With the outbreak of war he moves to the Netherlands together with his parents. He develops his theory of colour, termed ‘panchromy’, where emphasis is placed on the simultaneous contrasts between ‘colour-light’ and ‘colour-muffled’. In this regard he also draws the distinction between pure narrative colour and colour that evokes a state of mind.
