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.

PATRIZIO DI MASSIMO

©image: M HKA

° 1983

Born in Italy, lives in London (United Kingdom).

Patrizio Di Massimo first made a name for himself with work in various media (video, performance, drawing) commenting on politically charged topics, such as the legacy of Italian colonialism in Africa. For the last couple of years he has been revisiting the history of figurative painting and reinventing a form of surrealism for today’s viewer. This is an experimental practice requiring visual risk-taking, unprejudiced curiosity for things that tell stories and active disobedience towards the dictatorship of good taste. Di Massimo’s recent work eroticises the decorative object, as a three-dimensional prop or as the subject matter for paintings, videos or performances. Sometimes his objects literally come to life, thanks to surreptitious stagecraft. (AK)
