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: National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens - Donated by Ioanna - Irini Kaniaris, 2014 (Inv. no. 994/14).

In 1970 Caniaris is in Paris. In light of his historic exhibition at the New Gallery of Athens, where he exhibited works with symbolic, political content that denounced the Junta’s regime of non-freedom and violence, he continues to work in the same vein, using plaster as his main material. Gradually, the meaning of his work, now far from Greece and the conditions that created it, starts to transform and develop, remaining however within the framework of Caniaris’ "socially engaged" art. The artist here, always sensitive towards current sociopolitical issues, gets involved with aspects of racism, in order to pass onto the emblematic body of work, entitled Immigrants, a little later on.
