The DANDY-CLUB points to the re-release of Albert Hofmann, LSD - My Problem Child . Klett-Cotta Verlag, Stuttgart 2010, 224 pages, cloth with ribbon, € 19,90.

The more people engage in on itself, the less their lives is, at random '. Albert Hofmann, who died in April 2008, 102 years, has become exactly the same age as his friend Ernst Jünger . Both brought together by several meetings in which they tested the effect of various drugs .

The employee of the Swiss chemical company Sandoz conducted research in 1938 to a substance that stimulates the circulation. Hofmann synthesized from ergot, a grain fungus that lysergic acid diethylamide. In animals, disappointed the LSD. Hofmann and Sandoz lost interest and were looking in other directions. Five years later

, 16 April 1943 Hofmann repeated the synthesis of LSD. He came across the amazing, Halluz effect of the substance. - Hofmann must have happened with the LSD in touch. The effect inspired him to attempt a subsequent self to go to the action of the drug on the ground. "dizziness and fainting were sometimes so strong that I could no longer hold upright and had me lie down on a sofa ", the chemist, in his newly published book now LSD - My Problem Child . "My surroundings had now transformed themselves in a frightening way. It was all in the room, and the familiar objects and pieces of furniture took on grotesque, threatening forms " Hofmann its trusted neighbors wife no longer recognized: ." This was no longer Mrs. R., but an evil, insidious witch with a colored visage . "

Worse than all, however, changes in appearance, the Swiss took the Changes his mind was: "All the efforts of my will, the disintegration of the outer world and the resolution of my stay I seemed in vain. A demon had invaded me, and had taken possession of my body, of my senses and my soul possession. I jumped up and shouted, to free myself from him, but then fell back helpless on the sofa. The substance with which I had wanted to experiment, had vanquished me. She was the demon that scornfully triumphed over my will. "

The first book published in 1979, is both a review, as a kind of research diary. Hofmann ended the myth of pure chance, have discovered LSD. He describes how he deliberately Sandoz sent to the search. - Although the discovery of intoxicating and mind-expanding effects, it was unplanned.

Hofmann looks at several places in the book led to warn of careless use of LSD. He understood the work will not be an invitation to drug use - which already reflects the title. Still can

the book, the effects of different drugs without describing transfiguration. 1962 Hofmann takes in an environment with Ernst Jünger in his Wilflinger Oberförsterei psilocybin to experience the difference with LSD for himself. This followed the, Psilocybinsymposion 'extensive scientific and literary readings. "The deeper I sank into the noise, was the more strange it all. I myself was a stranger to me. Eerie, cold, senseless, nobody were lying there in a dead light places that I walked when I closed my eyes. Senseless, haunting seemed to me the environment when I opened my eyes and was trying to cling to the outside world. . The total emptiness threatened me to go down into absolute nothingness "

So it is not surprising, as Albert Hofmann's end still amazing book: A call that man should live in harmony with nature and not against it. Today's environmental protection measures remained on the surface, because of lacking the deeper insight. "cure would mean. Existential experience of an ego-inclusive deeper reality"

An imperial orgy

The Hunting Lodge is in a painting by Johann Friedrich Nagel, 1788

It was a veritable moral scandal at the end of the 19th Century, the Empire deeply shocked - but forgotten.

The DANDY-CLUB reviewed Wolfgang Wippermann, Scandal in the Hunting Lodge, Primus Verlag, Darmstadt 2010, 167 pages, € 19,90.

was romantic, the Directions for the convoy of horse-drawn sleigh through the snow in Berlin Grunewald. It was already evening when arriving 15 members of the court of William II 1891 at the Hunting Lodge. Among them were Charlotte of Saxe-Meiningen, a sister of the emperor and a brother, Duke Ernst Gunther of Schleswig-Holstein.

They had not, however, agreed to mulled wine take. Today, it would entitle the event as - Swinger evening. It was about nothing but sex. Each sex with anyone at all possible positions and variations.

The women have animated initially - and then the men have with each other happily.

This enjoyable evening for the participants was then one of the biggest scandals of the empire, - who had been forgotten. The historian Tobias Bringmann has done research about it, and the controversial historian Wolfgang Wippermann now made a book.

The story began to roll, because one of the participants - or women - but probably not quite so happy. He or she squealed the events of the amorous evening in detail in endless letters to members of high society. In one of the anonymous letter to Wilhelm Graf Hohenau June 1892 means that,

»City notified that your wife sister in law tend not to rest until it with of all the princes on you and you and, whenever possible, has come into sexual contact . It is almost incomprehensible, and a very distinctive kind of madness that this is so keen to each person behave Prince easily to the neck and throws, as these gentlemen have partly told himself without being asked, all the skirts lifts - worse than the man's greatest wife! "

master of ceremonies Leberecht von Kotze (photographer unknown)

Wilhelm II looked to action forced, and let the master of ceremonies Leberecht von Kotze arrest. In several steps the Emperor had to break the law, arrest to vomit and let to a special military court to be able to. That did not matter anyway, he was obviously innocent. Kotze came to the aid that went on the anonymous letters, when he was arrested. Kotze asked for his rehabilitation by all parties involved in his prosecution in a duel. One duel, you have to add. The three opponents and Kotze agreed on a so-called collective mandate, which meant that only one of the men had to fight a duel with the master of ceremonies. This duel was then held on Easter Saturday (!) Of the year 1895 in the vicinity of the station Halensee. It ended after fewer than eight ball change with an injury vomit. The vomit lying in the hospital, the Emperor sent a present: an Easter egg. The book describes a

smug scandal in the falling empire Wilhelm II as exciting as the topic - for further historical developments and changes - so difficult to unbearable is the book to read in places. The reader wonders why Wippermann at the beginning hateful polemic against the ideas of honor and loyalty and it connects only with Hitler's SS. The astonishment increases, keeps the reader reading through to the seventh chapter. That is "Bataan" and rumbles against me,. Because Wippermann does not own arguments, it must occupy Theweleit Klaus, whose theories on men fantasies', he gives a lecture. Younger he used "as an example of " atavistic and fascist masculinity. Thank God there is the operation now come a bit further, even if Professor Wippermann yet did not notice.

Ernst Jünger - War Diary

Ernst Jünger as a soldier in World War

The DANDY-CLUB reviewed Ernst Jünger's war diary 1914-1918 . Edited by Helmuth Kiesel. Klett-Cotta Verlag 2010. 654 pages, hardback in slipcase, 32,95 €.

Ernst Junger had soon had enough of war. The senseless mass killings from their peers, 20-year men who had to kill only because they belonged to another nation, wore down the young volunteer time.

"a long time I'm at war, many a fall, I saw that was worth living for" , he wrote on 1 December 1915 his notebooks notebook he always carried with him. And again, "What the killings and murders again and again? I fear it will be destroyed too much and there are not enough to rebuild. I'm like many before the war: down, smash the old building, the new one is definitely better. But now - it seems to me that culture and all that is great is slowly suffocated by the war. The war has awakened me to long for the blessings of peace. "

This honest self-reflection and opinion found in the just-published war diary 1914-1918, which was published by the literary scholar Helmuth Kiesel. These are the original notebooks, a total of 15 little notebook in the breast pocket format, which led the veterans each one with you. Always and forever, no matter whether he was in battle or was admitted to the hospital. Was a fully written, so he kept it after a home leave at home. It's like the Ur-text of the eventual success Storm of Steel .

But are stylized are painted, sanded for heroic prose, in the sense of flashes as the above. The literary meaning of the original publication allows Now anyone to get an idea: What felt disciples shortly after the incident? And what he (in different versions) of Bataan has shaped it?

In his emotionally authentic original recordings desperate Lieutenant disciples remembered the even then he loved France probably never meet again free:

"And I will travel to Paris and Versailles not do can look forward to not me in the land of wine and the joy, because between me and you is a wall, flows a stream of blood, blood shed, perhaps useless to overthrow million mothers in grief and misery. "For such
Feelings was in the Storm of Steel is no more room. Finally there was the Versailles Treaty, and nationalists, as disciples after the First World War, a saw in it an unjust insult to Germany. Compare

The original records with the later released to, will not interest everyone. Ernst Jünger's work and person are but steadily growing interest. The first book disciple Storm of Steel is now in the 46th Edition shipped in 2008. It has been translated into numerous languages. The French writer André Gide, not suspected to be blinded by nationalism, wrote on 1 December 1942 his diary. "The book by Ernst Junger about the war of 14 is undoubtedly the best war book I have read" is noteworthy that Gide had read a revised version but a translation of 1930. In all nationalistic passages were included.

The volume contains 450 pages of the original war diaries of over 100 pages of notes for a long post by Helmuth Kiesel of Ernst Jünger in the First World War - overview and documentation. The disciple's biographer, gives a thorough integration of the historical situation, social relationships and disciple of motivation. Those who know about the latter but just wants more, who want to get into the substance of a sense of the feeling and thinking disciple, is the recommended for supplementary reading the biography of Heimo Schwilk.

are particularly smug with the points of stylization of the raw texts of the diarist disciples of the future book authors disciples

The language is often still too dry, it must be refreshed through dialogue.

disciples was trying to record the experience as close as possible. Sometimes he wrote it on fire in the free minutes, sometimes it was only in the evening. The later writers summed up - its own limit of Behaltbaren reflecting - at the end of the records:

"It is remarkable how quickly obliterate the impressions take on how easy they are after a few days a different color. Fear, weakness and cowardice have been forgotten on the first calm evening, when his comrades at the Cup his experiences reported. Imperceptibly to be labeled a hero. "

Klingender act against "musical fetishism", as Adorno


also the artistic director of the 14th Free Improvised Music Festival on 24 and 25 September in the Blue Dresden factory Günter Heinz - (Photo: HJ Maquet)

Robert Musil once put the question of whether there would be "dumb music" and he said even with the suggestion that we should turn the question again: "Perhaps stupidity is musical?" Musil continued, "Permanent repetition, stubborn insistence on a motive, wide kicking their ideas, moving in circles, once limited modification of the Covered, pathos and violence rather than mental Enlightenment "- that describes Musil not only stupidity and ignorance in the music, but - in the accidental anticipation - the acoustic pollution, every day via TV, ringtones, echo hits, disco and - in the Alps of Germany - Musikantenstadl about the" civilized " World pours.

The festival free improvised music, on 24 and 25 September in Dresden will take place, shows the public that feel the same way it can. This year, for the fourteenth time, it offers the audience adventurous and surprising hearing alternatives. It is thus becoming less and less of concert prices, which on the appreciation of aesthetic Openness, based on the joy of the unpredictable and the "apotheosis" of the moment, a sounding act against "musical fetishism" (as he analyzed Adorno), as illustrated by recognition and repetition.

The portrait photograph as a marketing

Felix Nadar, Charles Baudelaire (c. 1856) investigated

In his extensive study

Matthias Bickenbach

The author photo in the media revolution. Wilehlem Fink Verlag, Munich 2010, 430 pages with numerous illustrations rake, 49.90 Euro.

In 1842 there was not a well-known image by the writer Charles Baudelaire. The photography had just been invented and was still in its infancy. The picture, what you had in Paris of Baudelaire was found in his poetry, through rumors and stories.

his later friend, the photographer Felix Nadar, described many years later, the first encounter with the Bohemian legendenumwitterten: Suddenly our conversation faltered at the sight of a strange, ghostly form. (...) We saw a young man of medium height and good figure, except for a red-brown scarf all in black. His coat was cut perfectly, with a huge shawl collar, from which rose the head like a bouquet of its envelope (...) In his hand, the bright pink in one - I repeat: light pink - put the glove he wore the hat of the profusion of curly jet-black hair that fell on the shoulder, was expendable - a mane like a waterfall. So we should meet him, therefore, this eagerly anticipated figure of this most sublime attraction. "

Those present were not only about the appearance Baudelaire surprise as such. Rather, it was the difference in amazement to the reputation of the poet was: Because of its provocative texts were expected an unkempt, smelly and run-down man outside of society.

Matthias Bickenbach studied in his detailed study The author photo in the media revolution - anachrony the author of a standard photo as an example. He will represent the general view in question, the photograph as a medium would have had a revolution to follow. A revolution in particular the perception and contemplation of images. His postdoctoral thesis uses the author photo to prove the thesis that the universal adoption today is the new media revolution, respectively, in truth always an evolution.

The example Baudelaire is interesting and revealing, because the photograph used deep and incorporates into his work of art. To this work of art belonged to his poetry beyond his appearance and marketing. Baudelaire is indisputably one of the greatest innovators of the literature in the 19th Century. His rank is well above that of Balzac or Hugo. During his lifetime, however, was not financially very successful. So he took advantage of the emerging photography as an important means of self-presentation. He was by Felix Nadar same make whole series of portrait photographs of herself and even planned to take a picture as the frontispiece of all books. In theory, rejected Baudelaire photography down because it conveys a false impression of objectivity and imagery. But that's why he did it to exploit them.

Felix Nadar, Charles Baudelaire (1855)

Bickenbach interpreted the first still known photo Nadar: Baudelaire sits casually leaning back, his black long coat stresses the bohemian affiliations. But above all, the author emphasizes the hidden hands Baudelaire: "By Baudelaire hands were hidden, he not only deprives them of visibility. The hand of the poet is, after all even the medium of his manuscript and thus a symbolic Character that is well established in the tradition of images of scholars and written authority. The gesture of the hand in the pocket corresponding 'an attitude of the author in the Age of photographed, which connects the authorship with a visual withdrawal, the withdrawal of the writing hand. " Bickenbach interprets Baudelaire deliberately not present here in the previous pose of the great poets, but anti-bourgeois. The gesture of the hands in his pockets had "not only political and social as well as the customs of a valence literary distinction" .

Felix Nadar, Charles Baudelaire (1855)

Bickenbach study examines the role of the photographic portraits of literary authors and thus also their effect, after being used by the authors themselves and further implications, consequences, and often unexamined assumptions . Long before photography, there were plastic portraits of authors. These were used centuries ago for one purpose: You could make literally, a picture 'of the author, whom you read. Following the remarks Bickenbach device, the previous, unchecked and subconsciously accepted as established acceptance of the Revolution by the advent of photography and other new media to sway. Rather gives the interested reader a sense of the eternal evolutionary process. For contemporaries, the changes result always flowing, the speed no matter how fast. However, the greater the distance in time from a historical viewpoint, the stronger the retrospective perception as a 'revolution'.

Rainald Goetz - eleventh september 2010

Prelude: The book launch before Rainald Goetz

was supposed to be the book is a novel . A novel that portrays the internal sociology of power : life, everyday life and the characters of politicians and political journalists in Berlin. But Rainald Goetz did not see themselves in a position to what he saw, heard, heard - had to endure to pour into a linguistic form. The award-winning writer had reason even decided to go into the medical profession. Finally, he studied medicine, and his brother, also a doctor, wanted to open a practice in which would be increased with Rainald Goetz once.

Luckily, it is the brother of mind.

So there is a new book by Rainald Goetz. The illustrated book eleventh September 2010. Images of a decade presents black and white photographs from the so-called new millennium, - that from 2000 to today. The current time magazine told the writer that he had these years as "felt extremely bleak," a darkness excess. noted this fact, one mood in the pictures not directly. Rather, can the large-format book, Goetz presented yesterday evening at the home of the Suhrkamp Verlag in Berlin poplars, to read in different ways. Just as it is thought Rainald Goetz: "One takes it in his hand, flips a bit in it and it has recognized immediately intuitive, it has it. On the other hand, one can also properly enter and deepen much in it. "

seal surrounded by Berlin cultural journalists Rainald Goetz was dissolved in mood

That the presentation of a giant media and butter was accompanied , could not surprising. Finally, look for recent books suit and loslabern renowned journalist forced Goetzens diarist literature from less than poetic interest to study rather Eitelkeitserwägungen: Did he mention me, I think instead of with him? And if so, positive or negative? I can live with that? can live with it probably the most people are sensitivity and humanity but more for the pastor and social worker.

Rainald Goetz took this fact in the production of his book launch in several files by the names of all in the book of photographs held relative and absolute figures of contemporary society - like a medieval market place - read aloud.

The Band Photo relieves presence a little from their presence that makes them so difficult to be at hand. Still we live in this deeply moving, hectic new millennium. It is still Berlin-Mitte , the home of Rainald Goetz, one loud, smelly building site. Concise captions can be any difference between our first thoughts when looking at the picture - our pre-judgment - a motif of the photographer and a possible objective content to be fragile.

Rainald Goetz is manic photographer. He goes for days in the city called madness and photographed, and photographed. For its huge store he had just another Billy shelves down to even to regain an overview. Shaped him has his mother, a professional photographer, with their dark, he grew up. The double-graduated doctor and historian Goetz is huge enlarged newspaper article on his work in order to to be completely on you. Some of these he hung in the rooms on the presentation.

eleventh of September is the fourth volume of gorge. In the first volume of the gorge series of Rainald Goetz's Internet Diary suit, says: 'indelible images, where the hatred is not what was destroyed, not precision.

Andy Warhol - The Early Sixties

Andy Warhol, Liz Silver, June / July 1963

enough four years to the art to revolutionize. has developed between 1961 and 1964, Andy Warhol, a concept for his work that would change the art and made him the most important artists of the second half of the 20th century made. Andy Warhol created the idea for his career, for his public image and the aura his work.

The radical replacement of the existing individualistic, specific gestural imagery through the kindred of his mass-known, high-capitalist and already fully used images presented any category of eligible artists. The exhibition Andy Warhol - The Early Sixties. Paintings and drawings 1961 - 1964 at the Kunstmuseum Basel is dedicated to possibly the most important period of art icon: In addition to 70 paintings and drawings is also working material from his studio to see. This brilliant book from the catalog Hatje Cantz Verlag documented the works. Three very worthwhile essays illuminate this special break moment in modern art history.

Arthur Danto in his paper as chooses Werkexempel Andy Warhol's Before and After to illustrate the extent of change. And this change was long ago not only Warhol's art. It affected all his work, his views, his life and, consequently, the entire art world.

1961 he discovered in a newspaper ad of a plastic surgeon. With two black and white drawings campaigned for the nose correction: left saw the American newspaper reader an ugly long hooked nose, right corrected small, cute snub nose - just two silhouettes. Warhol enlarged the image to be projected to one hundred times and painted it onto canvas.

Warhol was by then a highly successful commercial artist, whose work earned him not only wealth but also recognition. Mainly, he was responsible for a shoe company High-heels in kitschy candy colors. End of the 50's he wanted more. Warhol wanted to be famous with all his strength as an artist.

Arthur Danto writes to Before and After: The reason "that Warhol became the cult figure he was at the end depends, in part to the fact that almost no one at first would have recognized a difference between the two images. Warhol did not simply reproduce a banal advertising graphics. He made the difference between a banal graphics and artwork with an invisible shock and significant. He changed not only with the way we look at art than ever the traditional view of art. In other words, 1959-1961 the germ of a visual and eventually placed and cultural revolution. "

The important issue is proving that to Andy Warhol's not all has been said. In their idea and in its overall concept is outstanding, because it tells a story . It is the story of Warhol Molt, from the highly motivated invention his image concept, in which he invents the image yourself, rather use of existing image templates. The increase in company level is that it is often not even the templates themselves found. He had to rely on ideas from others who told him, why do you take not even a soup can. Warhol practiced this offensively by KUB, asked for ideas for templates.

two sides of the brilliant book by Hatje Cantz catalog
© Hatje Cantz Verlag

Sebastian Egenhofer asks in his catalog contribution to "subjectivity and meaning production in early Warhol" . He sees the importance of Warhol's early work, particularly in the alienation of meaning: Warhol had shifted the meaning to the surface of the work.

Stefan Neuner examines Warhol's work in the early 1960s by means of the theory of comedy this time. Warhol had qualified the art like no other painter. Neuner sees Warhol but rather a precursor to an art painting.

The Catalog's book will remind you of this outstanding exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Basel and after their end, and encourage further research.
