Familiar environments are changing, fundamental orders are shifting, and threatening events are recurring: the uncanny could be considered a state that describes the prevailing mood of the present. While committed scientists are trying to find ways out of the crises, feelings of fear and uncertainty are mixed with polemics, denial and rejection in the discourse fuelled by authoritarian voices.
The exhibition Uncanny Shifts uses artistic means to address ecological, social, and political interactions of our time. At locations around Dortmund's main station, sculptural, installative and performative works interact with their surroundings. They encounter a complex present with new inventions, curiosity, prudence, beauty and melancholic analyses.
