INDUSTRIAL (Research)
Research Department
HMKV at the Dortmunder U
14 September 2013 – 26 January 2014
curated by Inke Arns, Thibaut de Ruyter

INDUSTRIAL (Research) asks how the industry has affected people and how music, literature and art reacted to this violence described by Horkheimer and Adorno in 1944. “The might of industrial society is lodged in men’s minds”, they wrote – for good, we might add. One has to imagine this “might” as a disciplination of the body and the mind, a huge industrial machine that adapts the human body – through disciplination, standardisation and de-individualisation – to its needs and conditions until it functions as effectively as possible. Echoing this vision, Heiner Müller observed in The Hamlet Machine (1977): “I want to be a machine. Arms to grasp legs to walk no pain no thoughts”.

INDUSTRIAL (Research) consists of a 22 m long table with more than 80 books, 30 records, 15 videos and many objects, by and about: Symphony of Sirens (Baku 1922), Metropolis (1927), Magnitogorsk (1929), Bernd & Hilla Becher, Kraftwerk, Ruhrgebiet, Joy Division, Throbbing Gristle, Einstürzende Neubauten, Laibach, Bhopal, Unionbrauerei, Socheaux, Japan, Eisenhüttenstadt, Leipzig, Bytom, Detroit, Ekatarinburg, China, etc.

The exhibition Requiem for a Bank examines the new forms of industry, with a particular focus on the development of global financial markets since 1972 – a time when inflation, rising unemployment and successive oil crises combined with the emergence of new information technologies to give birth to a new kind of financial economy that was no longer dependent on real goods or services.

With: Claire Fontaine (FR), Ilona Gaynor (UK), Goldin+Senneby (SE), Toril Johannessen (NO), Jens Jarisch (with Dirk von Lowtzow) (DE), Anja Kirschner and David Panos (DE/GR), Carmen Losmann (DE), Aernout Mik (NL), Zoe Papadopoulou (UK/CY), Tobias Revell (UK), Hans Richter (DE), RYBN (FR), Andrés Senra (ES), Urban-Think Tank (VE/CH), Gillian Wearing (UK), Sislej Xhafa (Kosovo), and others

MACHINA EX: HEDGE KNIGHTS
Live-Adventure-Game
HMKV at the former AOK building in Dortmund-Mitte
03, 04, 05 October 2013
- as part of Requiem for a Bank -

An abandoned building becomes the setting for a live adventure game. Imagine the office of an overworked trader in Dortmund’s Unionviertel. Market rates are ticking by on the wall. Suddenly, an alarm bell rings: prices are crashing! The spectators must step in: playing a point-and-click computer game, they can explore the office as a playground, picking up, testing, collecting, using and combining objects as the room reacts to the changes.
