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.

In Milan Verheyen expands his international

network. When he exhibits at the Galleria Pater

in 1958, Piero Manzoni walks in carrying white

paintings. Their encounter further stimulates

Verheyen’s musings about monochromy and

achromy. It is during this period that he writes

his manifesto Essentialisme (Essentialism).

His theories are closely related to those of artists

such as Günther Uecker, Otto Piene, Hermann

Goepfert, Lucio Fontana and Yves Klein. The latter,

for example, initially works in achrome white

before pursuing his famous blue pigment. In letters,

Klein and Verheyen debate the invention and

objectives of monochrome and achrome painting.
