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.

Melancholia, 1988

Print, 83 x 115 cm.

Collection: Collection Jenny Quermia.

Melancholia is a direct reference to Manet’s Olympia. In 1986 Scholte had already caused quite a stir by repainting the Olympia on a postcard. His reaction to the subsequent criticism was to paint an exact copy of the newspaper article in which the author had voiced his critique. As such Melancholia fits perfectly into the postmodern tradition.
