Dear Spectres,

last weekend, the exhibition THE OIL SHOW opened. An exhibition guide is available which contains not only short descriptions of the works in the exhibition but also the film programme (every Friday at 20:00 in the exhibition). You can download it via our website.

The exhibition catalogue will be published by mid-December 2011.

We look forward to seeing you soon (again)!

All the best,
Inke Arns

THE OIL SHOW
HMKV at the Dortmunder U
12 November 2011 — 19 February 2012

We have reached Peak Oil – the maximum capacity of global crude oil extraction and production. After Peak Oil, the total global oil production cannot be increased. In the future, demand will always exceed supply. The global struggle for resources will intensify. Despite this our dependency on oil is growing further. We cannot, or do not seem to want to do without oil. We are seriously dependent.

The works in the exhibition deal with our dependency on oil and the economic, political, and social entanglements and consequences of this growing dependency. 

With works by: Ursula Biemann (CH), Christian von Borries (DE), Mark Boulos (US), Heath Bunting (UK), Bureau d'Etudes (FR), The Centre for Land Use Interpretation (US), Chto Delat? (RU), Carl Michael von Hausswolff & Thomas Nordanstad (SE), Werner Herzog (DE), Mark Lombardi (US), Michael Mandiberg (US), George Osodi (NG), Natascha Sadr Haghighian (DE/IR), UBERMORGEN.COM (AT/CH), and others
