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?
