Kunsthalle Dortmund
In the location's words:
Since its founding in 1996, the Kunsthalle Dortmund (formerly HMKV Hartware MedienKunstVerein) has organized numerous exhibitions, film, music, and performance programs, workshops, lectures, and conferences in various cities in Germany and abroad, as well as in Dortmund.
It serves as a platform for the production, presentation, and dissemination of contemporary and experimental (media) art. Media art is not understood here as a technically defined genre, but rather as contemporary art that engages, both in terms of content and concept, with our present—a present that is strongly shaped by media and technology. Key objectives include exploring contemporary themes and issues, engaging a broad public through outreach efforts, and fostering an interdisciplinary artistic approach.
We create pathways to contemporary art to demonstrate that artists do not live in ivory towers, but rather engage with issues that concern us all. In its outreach work, the association makes use of the tools of the digital age to foster, in a playful and participatory way, a new understanding of our media-saturated world and its patterns of perception and action.
A common goal of the HMKV’s projects is to use the medium of art to foster an understanding of complex social, political, economic, and ecological interconnections. In a globalized world accelerated by technology and based on the interaction of these systems, this approach offers a fresh perspective on our present that enriches each individual’s perception. In this way, the HMKV occupies a unique position in North Rhine-Westphalia—and in Germany. A diverse, international network has emerged from the multitude of collaborations.
