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.

In the exhibition Sanguine/Bloedrood, Bervoets is brought into resonance with the photographic portraiture of Gautherot. By displaying the spaghetti painting from the seventies on a black wall, the use of colour in the teeming forms is emphasised and the work acquires a compelling presence. In the endless entanglement of depth and perspective – reminiscent of psychotic delusions – a busy and especially complex world is evoked. Here, Bervoets shows the aesthetic violence of a machine in the form of a modern pittura metaphysica.
