Kodde has worked on his alternative museum model since his post-graduate course at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam (2007-2009). The Internet provides a new context for art and an unrivalled platform for social contact. Msquare4 is an ideal meeting place for art lovers.
Msquare4 is a model for a virtual museum, in which the artist André Kodde explores the influence that museum architecture and exhibition design have on the visitor. The three-dimensional environment of this virtual museum unfolds on the screen. The floor plan consists of a grid of identical galleries. From each space you can access four neighbouring galleries via sliding doors: this plan gives the work its title.
For this exhibition, a selection of works from the collection of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen has been made into 3D images. A variety of multimedia applications make it possible to follow a guided tour through the virtual museum, to listen to poets, musicians and art critics, and to chat with visitors from all over the world.
