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.

Courbet's Funeral, 2014

Courbet’s Funeral is a film collage made of documentary videos by Granilshchikov and staged footage, as well as reenactments of daily routine events. It can be considered as a video poem recorded on a mobile phone camera, but it also takes us back to real-life events that took place in Moscow in the beginning of 2014. In the context of the film, simple and trivial monologues of its protagonists begin to sound like political commentaries and at the same time touch upon the transformation and problems of the language of filmmaking. The film talks about the present in present tense, therefore it is impossible to avoid conversations about the political undercurrent of the film, the distance of the author from the subject matter. In that sense Courbet’s Funeral is a video diary that claims to have the importance of a document.
