great title ! - "The Kids Are Alt-Right“
why a pejorative use of word 'populism' ?
as enlightenmentalists, should we not strive to decontaminate language and
knowledge ?
hope all is well

The Alt-Right Complex – On Right-Wing Populism Online
HMKV (Hartware MedienKunstVerein) at the Dortmunder U, Dortmund, Germany
Opening: Friday, 29 March 2019, 7:00 p.m.
Duration: 30 March – 22 September 2019
The international group exhibition deals with forms of right-wing populism,
which, especially today, use the Internet
and „social media“ to disseminate ideas. "The Alt-Right Complex" traces the
development from a (sub)culture of
transgression in online forums such as 4chan to platforms such as Breitbart
News. The artists deal with memes (e.g.
Pepe the Frog, probably the most famous symbol of the Trump followers), with
figures such as Steve Bannon, flag
worship, the prepper scene, White Supremacists and Dark Enlightenment. The
exhibition is accompanied by a
critical glossary that briefly explains the most important terms.
"The Alt-Right Complex" presents twelve projects by 16 artists from twelve
countries: Germany, France, Great
Britain, Canada, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Hungary,
Switzerland, Serbia and Slovakia.
Participating artists: Paula Bulling / Anne König (DE), Simon Denny (NZ),
DISNOVATION.ORG (FR/PL), Vera Drebusch &
Florian Egermann (DE), Dominic Gagnon (CA), Szabolcs KissPál (HU), Boris
Ondreička (SK), Milo Rau, IIPM –
International Institute of Political Murder (CH/DE), Vanja Smiljanić (SR),
Jonas Staal (NL), Nick Thurston
(GB), UBERMORGEN (CH/AT)
The exhibition "The Alt-Right Complex" will include performances, curator’s

As part of the opening of "The Alt-Right Complex", the Justus Bier Award for
Curators will be presented on Friday, 29
March 2019 at 7 pm. The Justus Bier Award for Curators, which honors
outstanding curatorial achievements in the
German-speaking world, will, in its tenth edition, be presented for the first
time to a German art association for
the exhibition and publication "The Storming of the Winter Palace. Forensics of an

Chubarov, Director of the Institute
for Social Sciences and Humanities at the State University of Tyumen (RU) and
