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.

Adrien Tirtiaux’s practice reflects on the possibilities of architecture and architectural intervention.

A tort ou horizon is part of the series of works Charleroi is on my mind (2010-2013), which consists of personal reflections about this city’s urban structure and development possibilities. The series emerged in parallel with the initiative HOTEL CHARLEROI, founded by Tirtiaux in 2009 together with Antoine Turillon and Hannes Zebedin, which organised artist residencies and exhibitions in the post-industrial landscape of Charleroi.

A tort ou horizon depicts a longitudinal cross-section through the “petit ring” surrounding Charleroi‘s city centre, designed by Jean Yernaux in the seventies. Built on a viaduct in the lower part of the town and buried on the heights, the ring acts as a horizon levelling the landscape and people’s desires. Resituating this configuration here in Antwerp, the installation transplants one place in order to imagine another.
