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.

° 1965

Born in Yerevan (AM), lives in Yerevan (AM).

Azat Sargsyan's art plays with how history is constructed and deconstructed and how this is related to our personal and collective memory.

His art practice is rooted in live performance. From a position of self-imposed humiliation, deeply rooted in early Armenian performance art of the seventies, Sargsyan has tried to visualise and understand history in the making, through images from the mass media.

Since the 1990s, Sargsyan participates in several prestigious exhibitions such as the Venice, São Paulo and Moscow Biennials. He is also co-founder and artistic director of the Gyumri Biennial, which started in 1998.
