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.

Collectie M HKA / Donation from the artist

Collection: Collectie M HKA / Donation from the artist (Inv. no. S0460_02).

During his career, Danny Matthys made several trips to Australia, where he drew on the old and new art of the aboriginals. Based on these influences, he developed a very personal pointillist technique, which he uses to rework older Polaroid art series and create more recent collages, applying the various ancient and contemporary aboriginal techniques.

Since the early 90s, he makes what can be best described as a large, monumental mosaics out of tile shards. This process (which builds on older monumental collage work and his later pointillist technique) reveals a pronounced sense of indestructible timelessness.
