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.

Nomad / Номад, 2012

Photography, 90 x 60 cm .

Collection: Şağylys collection, developed by Tselinny Center of Contemporary Culture and M HKA (Inv. no. S0734).

Depicting a surrealistic surrounding that features nothing but a bed and a TV in the vast steppe, Nomad is a metaphor for the precarious existence of the sedentary ‘nomads’. It was initially exhibited alongside the photographic series Self-Listing (2012) as an in-situ installation for a small hostel in the suburbs of Astana. The action was conceived as an attempt to call attention to the fate of the evictees. Having lived himself in similar conditions at that time, the artist expresses his personal experience through the collective one, while addressing a wider problematic of the adaptation of Kazakh society to urbanist conditions.
