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.

Antwerp, Volksstraat

At the inauguration of a new art gallery Jan Fabre places candles on the backs of his tortoises. They go like this from the old gallery to the new one. This new gallery, still well-known today, is given the name of the performance: Zeno X. 

 

"I'm really glad.
After hours of talking, I've persuaded Hedwig
Van Laer and his assistant Frank to change the
name of the gallery The Printshop.
He has opted for the name Avant Grade Gallery
(like the title of one of my small objects, the
cardboard shirt collar).
And for his new, second place in the same
Volksstraat, he has chosen the name Zeno X Gallery
(the title of my tortoise performance)."

(Jan Fabre, Antwerp, 3 June 1981)
