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.

Vyacheslav Akhunov is trying to save the tradition of art by a countermovement, a reconstructive movement. He is countering what became propaganda taking it back to space of constructivist reflection. He confronts the tradition of art with the rhetorics of the power system. Between 1974 and 1987 Akhunov worked on a series of collages and drawings in which he was using fragments of “Leniniana”, one of the official ideological types of Soviet realism art, created to perpetuate the memory of Lenin. In his collages Leniniana (1977-82), Akhunov uses reproductions from magazines, newspapers, albums and posters to create an imaginary political propaganda, in which he expresses his interest for the Soviet phenomenon of mass idolization with a mixture of irony and fascination.
