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.

Collection: Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven.

Voglie vedere i miei montagne was Joseph Beuys' first room-filling installation, and was especially made for a space in the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. The work derives its title from the last words of 19th-century painter Giovanni Segantini, who wanted to see the Alps from his deathbed for the last time. Together forming a sort of landscape, the objects – including furniture from his youth – stand on copper plates arranged around a lamp that is hanging low above a piece of felt. Numerous words are written on the objects in Celtic and German as well as the Rhaeto-Romance dialect of Northern Italy and Switzerland. The word “Vadrec[t]” on the wardrobe means glacier, “Valun” written on the bed means valley, “Sciora” on the flat box is the name of a mountain in Switzerland, and “Penninus” is the name of a mountain god.
