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.

Ensemble: DE AANPAK VAN DE KUNSTGESCHIEDENIS [ADDRESSING ART HISTORY]

Marshall has had a long-running concern with the Western tradition of producing art history, and its marginalisation of the black subject. Referring to various art historical styles and traditions, he incorporates these styles and symbols into his contemporary images. In the round hall and the adjacent rooms, numerous works can be seen which address the Western canon of art.
