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.

27.10.1980 

New York, The Village

In the New York neighbourhood The Village Jan Fabre asks for a gun in one of the local bars. With this gun the artist shoots at a dollar coin with the portrait of JFK. Upon his return to Belgium this coin is hung up in an art gallery.

 

'During the day, my first action in NYC.

I shoot John Fitzgerald Kennedy through

the head (a $1 coin).

During the night the first series of drawings

I have created on American soil.

They are blood drawings

(a tribute to the American Indians).'

(Jan Fabre, New York, 27 October 1980)
