Say Hello to hARTware
Tuesday April, 9
Doors open 20.00 h.
In 1996 curators Hans D. Christ and
Iris Dressler founded Hartware
Medien Kunstverein in Dortmund.
Hartware is an open platform occupying itself with the production,
presentation and the discourses of contemporary art especially of
media art.
Hartware is interested in strategies of contemporary art, which reflect
the contradictions of social, political and/or cultural discourses. The
intersections between media art and "other" forms of
contemporary art production are playing an essential role in this
context.
Their productions and presentations are characterised by a thorough
exploration of time and space. They will go to the utmost to create the
ideal situation for a specific work.
On Tuesday April 9, 20.30 Iris Dressler, Hans Christ and Jan Schuijren
will explain their aims, motives and their specific way of showing media
art. Questions that will be answered are f.e.: What is the role of
curators while presenting media art? How far can a curator go; is there a
danger of leading the viewer too much?
