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.

Cildo Meireles

° 1948

Born in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).

Cildo Meireles (1948, Brazil, lives in Rio de Janeiro) emerges early as artist, with a series of projects in 1969 that investigated the notion of lived physical and social space through the colour and texture of material, a theme that recurs in later three-dimensional works such as 'Inmensa' (1982). The increasingly repressive military dictatorship in Brazil also prompts him to create politically engaged works. The ‘insertion’ and ‘circulation’ pieces are well-known: the anti-imperialist text printed onto Coca-Cola Bottles in 'Inserçoes em circuitos ideológicos' (‘Insertions into Ideological Circuits’, 1970) or the 'Zero Cent, Zero Centavo' and 'Zero Dollar' pieces (1974–1984).
