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.

This installation is one of the most recent of numerous works by Yang incorporating venetian blinds, which are perhaps the works she has become most renowned for. The use of the venetian blind, offering experience of obscured vision, has a significant presence in Yang’s practice. She has on occasion discussed the idea of ‘communities of absence’ – communities of people that exist outside of the dominant thrust of society, often living out of sight – which the blinds allegorically serve to address. Blind Curtain – Flesh behind Tricolore has a distinctive ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ in terms of its composition as well as colour, staging a scenario of “organic and skin-coloured inside” and “geometric and primary coloured outside” within the existing architecture.
