DB Schenker moves Dennis Hopper exhibition Down Under
ACMI re-appoints DB Schenker as preferred logistics partner for exhibitions
(Sydney, 26 October, 2009)
Schenker Australia Pty Ltd and The Australian Centre
for the Moving Image (ACMI) have renewed their logistics partnership for
2009/2010 including world famous exhibitions such as the Dennis Hopper and
the New Hollywood being displayed in Melbourne from 12 November 2009 until
25 April 2010.
As ACMI’s “Official Logistics Provider, Customs Clearance and Freight
Forwarding Agent”, DB Schenker moves more than 60 cbm of exhibition
material from various locations such as France (Cinemateque Francaise, Paris),
Germany (Museum Ludwig, Cologne) and the US (various locations including
even Dennis Hopper’s home) to Melbourne. Professional DB SCHENKERarts
teams will handle the exhibits with utmost care and an onboard courier will
travel with the display items to guarantee smooth transportation.
Richard Zimmermann, ACMI’s Marketing & Development Director, has
welcomed DB Schenker’s ongoing support: “As one of the world’s most
respected logistics provider, we trust DB Schenker and its very experienced
teams to securely and professionally deliver our exhibits,” Mr Zimmermann said.
Ron Koehler, Chief Executive Officer AU/NZ, Schenker Australia Pty Ltd says
“We are proud to be associated with this high-class exhibition and ACMI.
Dennis Hopper and the New Hollywood have travelled around the world and our
DB SCHENKERarts team in Melbourne will ensure safe and on-time delivery for
yet another great exhibition new to the Australian public.
About the Exhibition:
Audiences can engage in great depth and detail with the catalogue of work by a
courageous artist, reflecting on a bygone era which radically influenced the film
industry that exists today. In this unique exhibition, Dennis Hopper’s remarkable
body of work is put into context. As a ‘New Hollywood’ visionary, actor and
auteur, Hopper has occupied a key place in American cultural production from
the 1950s to today. He has collaborated with a vast range of artists, musicians,
actors, architects and filmmakers over the past forty years – most notably with
Francis Ford Coppola, Marcel Duchamp, Frank Gehry, Jack Nicholson, David
Lynch, and Wim Wenders.
Exhibitions at ACMI including Screen Worlds: The Story of Film, Television and
Digital Culture and Len Lye have already had great reviews from the Australian
public and there’s much more to come over the next months.
