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.

Rong Rong

° 1968

Works in Beijing (), born in Zhangzhou (), lives in Beijing ().

Rong Rong is born as Li Zhirong in Zhangzhou, in the southeastern province of Fujian. In the early 1990s, he moves to Beijing to develop a career in photography and he settles in the now demolished 'urban village' Dashanzhuang ('Mansion on the Hill').

In 1996, Rong Rong sets up the RR Studio. To him, the destruction of old Beijing by the building boom, a result of the ongoing economic growth, comes as a big shock. It results in a new series that remains untitled but is sometimes referred to as the 'ruin series'. Rong Rong's pictures are not only important for documenting the performance of his peers, they also highlight an entire chapter from recent Chinese art history.

Rong Rong belongs to the first generation of Chinese photographers that document everyday life in contemporary China.
