On the occasion of 10 years anniversary Museum Nordwolle Delmenhorst 1996/2006, Anchor PointERIH

Industrial culture: Can industry exist without culture, or culture without industry?
Thematically, the relation between industry and culture will be opened by an interchange of the articles DER/OF and DIE/THE. The interchange of text segments in THE CULTURE OF INDUSTRY —; THE INDUSTRY OF CULTURE points this relationship. By inserting synonyms for industry and culture, such as THE EDUCATION OF THE INDUSTRY — THE ALERTNESS OF CULTURE are creating new relationships that playful recognize the reciprocal influence of culture and industry.
 

During the installation the film “Metropolis” by Fritz Lang, 1926 was shown with live musical accompaniment by Markus Horn on the piano.
