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.

Exhibition: La leçon d'anatomie (A Progress Report)

FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Rheims

05 April 1996 - 25 May 1996

"I also did a show in Reims. Reims is the French city where all the kings are crowned. I did something completely different there. The show was called An Anatomy Lesson and it was about the breaking up of narrative, my own narratives, but European history narratives at the same time. I wanted to begin talking about a whole bunch of different things and then as usual interrupt myself and not talk about them. I wanted to do that deliberately in some historic way. The French don’t trust art, they only trust narrative, so I wanted especially to disrupt narratives and break them, to make similar narratives and fake narratives." [full text here]
