With over 100 works from 20 years of
interventions in urban space, the Museum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte
in Dortmund has dedicated a large overview exhibition to René
Schoemakers (*1972). From the very beginning, he has rejected any
appropriation of the individual. As a direct reflex, examining the
extremisms of the present has become central to his work, whether
Christian or Islamic, left-wing autonomist or right-wing radical: the
latter, however, in particular, since one of the attempted murders by
the Nationalist Socialist Underground (NSU) in Dortmund was committed
with the backing of a very active right-wing scene.
