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.

Deller’s work History of the World, 1996, is based on a diagram the artist made drawing links between acid house and brass band music. Deeply subjective, the diagram visualises his thought-processes on the conditions of the rave era, making links between music, emotions, events and the socio-economic conditions of recession-era post-industrial society that the stories of both rave and brass bands are related to. History of the World also led to his renowned word Acid Brass, 1997, a live event in which a brass band performs a repertoire of acid house classics selected by the artist. The diagram is typically reproduced as a wall mural for exhibitions.

>Clip from an episode of 'The Culture Show' (BBC Two) that aired on 24.02.2012. Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller is one of the most unconventional of contemporary artists. He is best known for his collaborative projects with everyone from striking miners to Manic Street Preachers. As he prepares for a major exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in London, The Culture Show meets up with him to look back at the creative process behind some of his major works to date and follows the artist to Texas as he films bats for his latest unpredictable project. The clip features the Acid Brass (The Fairey Band).
