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.

Calling himself the “mediocre little master from Liège” – a Belgian twist to Filliou’s “genius without talent” – Lizène donated a key work to the Gordon Matta-Clark Foundation in 1980: Documents rapportés d’un voyage au coeur de la civilization banlieue 1973, 74 et 75. The work consists of two parts: a narrative framework on the one hand, whose rigorous black-and-white aesthetic resembles the standardized documentary tropes of much “information art” – more concretely Robert Smithson’s parodic travelogue [“A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey”], with Smithson’s original post-industrial wasteland here being replaced with the banlieue liègois. On the other hand, a crass reminder of the pertinence of the body in all overly intellectualized art – a quasi-monochrome white bed sheet displaying the near-invisible traces of the artist’s nocturnal masturbatory activity. When this work was first shown at the ICC in the late seventies, a local censor actually ordered the removal of the piece from the exhibition. Tellingly, censorship was no longer an issue when a far more graphic exhibition of Lizène’s work was organized at the museum in the spring of 2009.
