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.

ANTHEA HAMILTON

Cut-Outs, 2007-2014

Installation

Referencing the spaces used for creating the special effects of film and media imagery, two sculptural works are presented within the chroma key blue Cut-Outs room. Often focusing on female legs, which are based on the artist’s own, these fragmented bodies are themselves cut-out, occupying these spaces in various states of activity, perhaps dancing, parading or occasionally sitting, all with correct postures. Reflective of everyday experience under the conditions of patriarchy, the installation is also typical of Hamilton’s way of creating experiential settings, where viewers occupy space with the anthropomorphic presence of the works.
