Ren Schoemakers

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 Rene 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.
