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.

A constructed world of representation is the core of Rinus Van de Velde’s drawings and installations. His large-scale charcoal drawings are based on stage sets, in which he is regularly the main subject. Referring to the self-mythologising of canonical figures from Western art history, his carefully crafted portraits should rather be seen as being an alter-ego. Van de Velde’s new painting, together with a series of hand-made ‘props’ used for many of his paintings, refers to the way Bolaño placed himself as an alter-ego in his book Antwerp, which he also continued to do in many of his later books. The self can be a space to explore fiction and how we might want to see our narratives in the world.
