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.

Collection: Private Collection, The Netherlands.

Untitled (Squirrel) is one of the remaining pieces of a legendary exhibition from 1991 called John Rollin Ridge, Zorro and the Joad Family Players at The Luggage Store in San Francisco. That show was a right after a law had recently passed by the U.S. Congress which obliged American Indian artists to obtain a certificate of their “Indian-ness” in order to be allowed to exhibit. Read here Jimmie Durham’s ironic text in response to this law.
