[spectre] Save the Date: Evil Clowns opening at HMKV / Out now: INDUSTRIAL (Research)

[Inke Arns]

Dear Spectres,

less than week to go: on Friday, 26 September 2014 we will be opening the exhibition Evil Clowns at HMKV. ‘Dangerous clowns are standing by the side of the road’, sang the Düsseldorf band Der Plan as early as 1979. The exhibition Evil Clowns explores the often disquieting figure of the clown, which has made an “uncanny” career in recent years. 

On top of that, INDUSTRIAL (Research) has just been published! The pocket book (Berlin: Revolver Publishing, 2014) documents HMKV's eponymous exhibition curated by Inke Arns and Thibaut de Ruyter which took place in the context of the NEW INDUSTRIES FESTIVAL 2013-2014. The richly illustrated 240-page book designed by labor b contains numerous illustrations (photography: Andrea Eichardt and Hannes Woidich) as well as the chronology which was presented on the 22 m long table.

If you are around, please come by!

All the best,
Inke
