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.

From the end of the 1980s the artist creates the characteristic group of works with the “curtains”. He uses paper, a material that is predominant in his work, in order to produce works with repeated lace motifs. The works of this series are the result of a long, arduous, manual procedure, which is of especial importance to the artist. The “Black curtain”, with its fragile and flowing form, exudes a poetic quality and expresses the symbolic dimension of the artist’s work.  Certain elements - such as repetition, dedication to the motif, to the handcrafted and to spirituality - appear often in Alexiou’s work.
