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.

Philip Newcombe

° 1970

Lives in London (United Kingdom), born in Germany.

Philip Newcombe transfers objects out of their everyday context by way of subtle manipulations and well-aimed interventions. The original function and meaning of the object shifts and integrates itself within the exhibition space. Newcombe has his common objects communicate with viewers through a game that alternates between recognition, formalism and language, which often yields some amazing poetry. An Eiffel Tower as a doorstop, for instance, or a pink lolly as a child's coat hanger on an immaculate white wall.
