Accessibility

The exhibition Uncanny Shifts uses artistic means to address some ecological, social, and political interactions of our time. At various locations around Dortmund's main railway station, sculptural, installation and performative works interact with their surroundings. They encounter a complex present with new inventions, curiosity, prudence, beauty and melancholic analyses.

The official opening will take place on Saturday, 22.8. at 15 h in front of the Ev. Stadtkirche Sankt Petri. Speakers: Christel Schürrmann (Management Ev.
Stadtkirche Sankt Petri), Britta Gövert (Mayor of the City of Dortmund), Ivo Van Hove (Artistic Director of Ruhrtriennale) and Britta Peters (Artistic Director of Urbane Künste Ruhr).

The exhibition is open from 11 h.

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
