The RWE-Forum I Kino im U is showing a thematic film program to coincide with the exhibition Evil Clowns.

FAMILY SUNDAYS

Sun, 6 July 2014, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Sun, 3 August 2014, 11 am - 6 pm

Whether complicated balloon figures, a flute made from carrots or picking locks. Video tutorials on the internet show how it's done. On Family Sunday, you can try out various video tutorials at the HMKV. We'll be crafting, carving, cracking, doing magic and experimenting. Come along and join in!

The event takes place on level 0, in the entrance area of the Dortmunder U.

Participation is free and possible at any time.

On the opening weekend of the exhibition "Jetzt helfe ich mir selbst" we invite you to a joint tour with Inke Arns, the artistic director of the HMKV, and the seminar participants who were involved in the selection of the videos. Each seminar participant will have the opportunity to comment briefly on the video tutorial of his/her choice and answer questions from the guests.

As a prelude to the exhibition „Jetzt helfe ich mir selbst“ (Now I Can Help Myself) - The 100 best Internet video tutorials, we are inviting visitors of the Extraschicht to create their own tutorial clips. Paper, pen, camera and off you go! Explain to the world how to make the best coffee, what the golden rules are for growing vegetables or the most effective way to get round an annoying family reunion.

Modelling balloon figures from YouTube
Who doesn't know them: the clowns who make funny little animals out of balloons in the circus or at the funfair. As if by magic. We say: You can do it too! What do you need? Balloons, the internet and fun trying things out. At the summer festival, you can model simple and complicated figures out of balloons. Come along and try it out! The event will take place on the forecourt of the Dortmunder U.

HMKV photo campaign
Excavators, winding towers, combine harvesters
Excavators, winding towers, combine harvesters. Big machines are digging up our earth. What would you do if you were standing opposite one of these huge machines? Create short, funny comics. Anything is possible with the help of photomontage. The best comic will win a little surprise. All visitors to the Dortmunder U can vote.

Participation is possible at any time. The event takes place on the forecourt of the Dortmunder U.

Children's rally
Would you like to explore our exhibitions on your own? Our children's rally is ready for you at the entrance to our exhibitions! Go on a journey around the world and find out how the rice on our plates, the metals in our mobile phones or the crude oil in our heating system are extracted. Available at the information desk in the exhibition at any time!

Participation is possible at any time on level 3.
