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.

Arc de Triomphe for Personal Use (Prague version), 2004

Sculpture, 230 x 110 x 110 cm.

Collection: Collection Ellipse Foundation, Lisbon.

The first Arc de Triomphe for Personal Use was presented in Calais in 1996. Since then, a few versions of the “portable and collapsable arch” have been made by Durham. The artist’s parody of the idea of political power represented by monumental architecture is translated in this precarious structure made with poor materials, embedded here with artificial solemnity though the golden paint on the top.
