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.

Lygia Pape

© M HKA

1929 - 2004

Born in Nova Friburgo, RJ (Brazil), died in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).

Some of Lygia Pape’s best-known works, such as Divisor, have become icons of an art movement which explored the potential of social interactions in public space. In a series of works from the late 1960s, Magnetized Spaces, Pape’s interest in architecture can be seen through her photographic observations of crowd behavior. A more recent installation, DNA, (2003), is now on view in A RUA.

After a recent retrospective in the the Museo de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, Pape’s work can be seen in the the Serpentine Gallery in London (7 December 2011 - 19 February 2012).
