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.

Suggested Proposal for a New Architecture n°3, 2004

Collection: Private Collection, Italy.

These proposals were first exhibited at the exhibition Le ragioni della leggerezza at Galleria Franco Soffiantino in 2004. Durham combines fragments of wooden furniture with stone and text and turns them into new objects. The lightness of the work is striking: Durham's proposal is diametrically opposed to the heavy monumentality of Western architecture. From the mid-1990s on, he takes astand against architecture and monumentality, seen as expressions of state power.
