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.

Ensemble: Hugo Roelandt — PUBLIC SPACE

Influenced by a broader anti-institutional reflex in the 1980s, which gave rise to new conceptual practices, happenings and performances, Hugo Roelandt developed a belief that art should be a shared, participatory experience rather than the solitary appreciation of a finished product. On several occasions he created interventions in public spaces, ranging from Pavimenti (1987), which extended a pedestrian walkway vertically up the façade of the building that eventually became part of M HKA, to his Boel Project (1985), in which he hoisted passenger-filled buses up into the air at a shipyard. These and other such projects became some of his most ambitious and influential works, underscoring his vision of art as a social practice of visual and spatial thinking, deeply rooted in the here and now.
