MILESTONES
Favourite Clubtracks 1985-2020 - permanent exhibition



The permanent exhibition "MILESTONES - Favourite Club Tracks 1985 - 2020" is all about the most important tracks in electronic music since 1985 that have made people dance. We invited more than 50 DJs from over 20 nations on 6 continents to submit their top 20 favourite electronic music tracks. These personal TOP 20 of the participating DJs resulted in the "MILESTONES - Favourite Club Tracks 1985 - 2020", which are the focus of the exhibition of the same name.
Selector of the MILESTONES were:
Adiel, Ata, Anfisa Letyago, Anja Schneider, Arjun Vargale, BlancaH, Carl Craig, CC:Disco, Chris Liebing, Claude Vonstroke, Dax J, Dubfire, Ecilo, Gregor Tresher, Hell, Jay Lumen, Karotte, Ken Isihii, Kölsch, Konstantin Sibold, Laurent Garnier, Luciano, Michial Bibi, Miss Djax, Miss Kittin, Monika Kruse, Pan-Pot, Paula Temple, Purple Disco Machine, Red Axes, Roger Sanchez, Sam Divine, Sam Paganini, Shanti Celeste, Solomun, Talla 2XLC, Terrence Fixmer, Tiefschwarz, Victor Ruiz
The exhibition "MILESTONES - Favourite Club Tracks 1985-2020" brings the energy, power and creativity of these tracks to life in the museum, which has been transformed into a club. A visit to the exhibition becomes a musical journey between house, trance and techno, making it difficult to stand still. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our partners and sponsors - in addition to the Wüstenrot Foundation, the exhibition was also supported by Mainova AG, Frankfurter Sparkassen-Stiftung, Scape Consulting, Adam Hall and FRAPORT AG.
More than 50 photographs of dancers from all over the world, presented on oversized screens (in collaboration with SAMSUNG), remind us that modern electronic music is mostly about dancing. On display are works by over a dozen photo artists, each capturing the ecstasy, passion, energy and joie de vivre of dancing in their own unique way. On show are works by Tilman Brembs, Simon Burstall, Sophie Garcia, Daniel Herrmann, I am Johannes, Sascha Lüönd, Karl Magee, Soulla Petrou and Wesley Triber.
In this way, the exhibition will not only be an experience for long-time fans of electronic music, but will also reach people who have previously only known clubs and clubbing from the media. The exhibition aims to make the uniqueness of electronic music tangible for all visitors.
In the Maschine Room, a selection of formative drum machines, synthesisers and samplers are on display, with which a large part of the MILESTONES was produced, and in the Electronic Classroom, visitors become producers themselves.
