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: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. S0464_03).

In this work Sarenco chooses a masterpiece – Seated Bather painted by Pierre Auguste Renoir in 1914 and now in the Art Institute Chicago's collection – and overwrites a communist and anarchical sentence (“Il popolo è forte, armato vincerà!”, “The people is strong, armed it will prevail!”) in a cartoon bubble. With this stratagem the artist obtains a dadaist effect: an icon of bourgeois painting – the classic theme of the bather and the female nude – becomes protagonist of a communist fight.
