Exhibition
Dortmunder U
31 July – 05 September 2010
Trust is a major factor in all human relations and it is the basis of communication. We trust the validity of rules, codes and conventions, and we have confidence in others. The same goes for media and technical systems as we entrust them with our wishes and longings. There may be a nagging doubt or suspicion about them, yet we feel an urge to keep faith with the apparatuses and their simulacra when we consign them to tell us a good story, to convey the truth, and to make our lives better – healthy, and wholesome.
The group exhibition TRUST explored the aesthetics of this confidence by questioning its status, attempting to challenge the audience's convictions, and by encouraging a reflected dialogue with machines and media. The works in the show pointed to the desires as well as the ethical and emotional dilemmas that arise from this attitude of trust.
During the opening of TRUST on Friday, 30 July, 19:00h, Antoine Chessex and Thomas Ankersmit presented their performance "Diffusions/Acoustics".
With works by Seiko Mikami (jp), Carsten Nicolai (de), knowbotic research (ch/at/de), Milica Tomić (rs), Ariel Guzik (mx), Joan Leandre (es), Joyce Hinterding (au), Julien Maire (de/fr), Naeem Mohaiemen (bd), HC Gilje (no), Sophie Bélair Clément (qc/ca), Konrad Becker (at), Verena Friedrich (de), Antoine Schmitt (fr).
