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.

The exhibition at M HKA includes two installations by Qureshi based on his recent technique of expanding the miniature aesthetic into a spatial practice. I Want You To Stay With Me is a painting installation produced in-situ. Qureshi produced these sets of paintings on the floor, splashing red paint, and then working more intricate details into the image. The paintings are then positioned on the wall, with the trace of his painting remaining on the ground beneath. Combining chance with control, the work is simultaneously representational and non-representational, balancing beauty and repulsion, wishing metaphorically to find optimism out of the effects of catastrophe.
