INDUSTRIAL (Research) - NEW INDUSTRIES FESTIVAL
Ausstellungsteaser
04:10
INDUSTRIAL (Research) asks how the industry has affected people and how music, literature and art reactedto this violence described by Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno in The Culture Industry (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 industrialmachine 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".
For this exhibition, curators Inke Arns and Thibaut de Ruyter have researched and travelled extensively to
compile an archive of stories, images, books, films and music around the concept of industry. In INDUSTRIAL(Research) visitors are encouraged to take part in their research by leafing through collections of photographs, watching videos, looking at paintings and browsing through documentation.
INDUSTRIAL (Research) is simultaneously a work place, research lab and repository – an invitation to familiarise oneself with a subject matter that merges local and global concerns as well as historic and current developments which have only just begun.
Curated by Dr. Inke Arns & Thibaut de Ruyter.
