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.

Pamplona-Grazalema. From the public square to the bullring is introspection inside the bullfight and the events and effects arround it in Spain made by Antoni Muntadas in collaboration with Gines Serran-Pagan. This work was made between 1975 and 1979 and it combines visual arts and social science. It is not only an art project, it is an anthropological study and an important investigation close to the spanish ritual of the bullfighting tradition. Around four chapters, the book displays this events in all their differents variants, using the example of two places: Grazalema and Pamplona. They represents the two sides of the same coin, on one hand, Grazalema preserve the tradicional way and, on the other hand, the popular festival turns into a commercial show in Pamplona. Nevertheless, this fiesta embedded in the popular culture reflects an specific kind of political, economic, religious and social built organizations.
