Schuh in Winestore



Yesterday austrian writer, critic Franz Schuh (*1947, Vienna) was reading excerpts of his new book "Memoiren - Ein Interview gegen mich selbst"("Memoirs- An interview against myself"). The reading, excellently recited, took place in a winestore in Gmunden, Upper Austria, a great surrounding for an event like this.

„Ist Denken nicht eigentlich lebens- und glücksfeindlich?“, Franz Schuh stellt sich in Memoiren – ein Interview gegen mich selbst viele Fragen und beantwortet sie auch. Manchmal ausführlich, manchmal ungenau spricht er mit sich selbst über Religion und Gewalt, Literatur und Öffentlichkeit, Erinnern und Vergessen, seine proletarisch-kleinbürgerliche Herkunft, seinen umgekehrten Narzissmus und seine Vorliebe für Trash. Franz Schuh spielt mit der Form des Interviews. Fragen nimmt er so, als ob er sie selbst stellen, Antworten so, als ob sie ein Fremder geben würde – und umgekehrt. Daraus entwickelt Schuh die Memoiren eines 1947 geborenen, in Wien aufgewachsenen österreichischen Schriftstellers und Essayists. Memoiren – Ein Interview gegen mich selbst ist eine Hommage an die vielen Gesprächsmöglichkeiten, die Schuh im Laufe seines Lebens wahrnehmen durfte.

Behaviourism







In the country of P.P.Queen there are many traditions, above all catholic traditions. Sometimes a strange man in a spacy suit comes to one of these traditional events and changes them, make them somehow different, modern. P.P.´s biggest wish is to get to know this radical artist one day.

Wieslaw Jarmulowicz



Islands, Photography by Wieslaw Jarmulowicz


It was really hard for P.P.Queen to choose from the extensive work of Wieslaw Jarmulowicz, an artist in Krakow, Poland. "I started to paint at the age of 35 because of a Great Jungian Dream in which I drew my paintings and sculptures out of a black-red water-lava lake under the surface of the earth."
School: German Philology at Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Painting at Fine Arts Academy in Cracow.

Nice day

Yesterday P.P.Queen took a walk in her capital city, when she walked through the Volksprater, she thought:"I may need some bracer for my mind before I visit the Secession, because I will be confronted with some hard stuff."


After a good Czech drink and a Erdäpfelpuffer P.P. went to see the Thomas Hirschhorn room collage. The queen recognised that indeed a bracer is needed for experiencing the work.

It was a nice day after all and a very interesting exhibition worth going there. http://www.secession.at/
