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.

The propagandistic exhibition, conceived to travel, first opened at the Bibliotheksbau des Deutschen Museums (Library of the German Museum) in Munich in 1937. It is regarded as one of the key examples in the series of 'shaming exhibitions', which began in 1937 with Antibolschewistische Ausstellung (Anti-Bolshevik Exhibition), followed by the Entartete Kunst exhibition and continued with the exhibition Der Ewige Jude (The Eternal Jew). It was also the largest pre-war anti-Semitic exhibition, which was intended to represent a supposed Jewish attempt at bolshevising Nazi Germany. The cover of the catalogue features the exhibition poster that presented an 'Eastern' Jew wearing a kaftan, holding gold coins in one hand and a whip in the other, with a map with the communist symbol – the hammer and sickle – under his arm. The exhibition was shown later in Vienna, Berlin, Dresden and other cities, and reportedly provoked the rise of anti-Semitism in the cities where the exhibition was held.
