Intro


From October 2003 to the end of 2004 the Reserveteillager – a disused spare part warehouse – at Phoenix West will be host to the events and exhibitions of hartware medien kunst verein. Phoenix West is a redundant blast furnace site in Dortmund-Hörde.

The 2.000 square meter "Reserveteillager" has been recently redeveloped and is now in use as a multifunctional event hall of "dortmund-project" and thus is also at the disposal of hartware.

The first hartware medien kunst verein project at Phoenix West is the exhibition games. Computer games by artists, which takes place from October 11 till November 30, 2003 an which is based on a concept by the media art theorist Tilman Baumgärtel (Berlin).

"games" seeks to display the varied range of artistic approaches to the phenomenon of computer games with nearly 30 exemplary works of art.

On Sunday, October 12 several artists will be available to personally present their work at the exhibition.

Additionally, the artist Olaf Val (Cologne) will run a workshop for young people within the context of the exhibition.

There will also be a film and lecture program (21 - 23 November), which sets about addressing the issues involved in computer games and film.

A catalogue will accompany the exhibition. It will be presented towards the end of the exhibition.

Opening: Saturday, October 11, 7 pm
