A collaboration with Klubnetz Dresden e. V.

In the 1990s, Dresden became a celebrated centre of techno culture alongside Berlin and was known as the »Detroit of the East«. The city was full of semi-legal underground venues that increasingly booked internationally renowned DJs as well as local ones. The cabinet exhibition developed with Klubnetz Dresden tells of places that have disappeared and still exist today, of improvisation and displacement, and of the rise of Strasse E in the former industrial area of Dresden North to become the epicentre of Dresden's club culture. Also on display is a selection of the changing flyer culture and the now almost exclusively digital media that have communicated and disseminated information about events in the region - between Leipzig, Freiberg, Chemnitz, Dresden and Löbau - from the 1990s to the present day.

Networking, solidarity and collective working methods, the search for free spaces and political resistance to right-wing extremist movements play a role in the exhibition, which places particular emphasis on non-commercial objectives and formats – from raves to FreeTek events and collectively organised clubs.

It gives an impression of the different sides of a very lively scene that makes a decisive contribution to whether people feel comfortable in a city. The exhibition was created as a contribution to the German premiere of Techno Worlds in the robotron-Kantine, a collaboration with the Goethe Institute to which the Kunsthaus Dresden also invited the Klubnetz – it will be extended on the occasion of the exhibition »DAZUGEHÖREN! BELONGING!« and will be shown in the robotron canteen until 3 November.
