Mail from Carrie Helser (USA)

Wunderbare Post von meiner Mail Art Freundin Carrie Helser. Als sie die Matrizen Platten sah, die ich von der Tauschlade bekam, hat sie sich an ihre Kupfer-Postkarten erinnert – und mir eines ihrer kostbaren Schätze zugeschickt! Was für eine große Freude!
Leider habe ich es während meiner USA-Reisen nicht geschafft, mir in Utah den Bryce- und den Zion-Canyon anzuschauen. Ich wünsche mir sehr, dass es irgendwann wieder möglich ist, überhaupt und dann ohne Angst zu reisen. Aber vielleicht, wenn der Zeitpunkt gekommen ist, setze ich dann andere Prioritäten – wer weiß das schon!?

Unfortunately, during my trips to the USA I did not manage to visit the Bryce and Zion Canyon in Utah. I wish very much that it will be possible again sometime to travel at all and then without fear. But maybe, when the time comes, I will set other priorities – who knows!

Add & Pass – Projekt von Gernomio Finn (AUT)

Kollaboratives Buchprojekt von Geronimo Finn mit dem Titel „Add and Pass“, an dem ich schon einige Male teilgenommen habe. Jeder Teilnehmer erstellt eine Doppelseite und sendet das Buch dann an jemand anderen. Am Ende bekommt Geronimo es zurück. Neulich sagte er mir, er habe, seit er das Projekt begonnen hat, etwa 120 Bücher versendet – und bislang etwa 12 zurückbekommen.
Oben ist ein Überblick mit den Seiten, die bislang gestaltet wurden. Leider haben die „KollegInnen“ so undeutlich geschrieben, dass ich die Namen nicht entziffern kann – sorry Leute! Ich habe es von Alison Kurke (UK) bekommen und an Katja Hübbers weitergeleitet. Und hier ist meine Doppelseite:

Collaborative book project by Geronimo Finn entitled „Add and Pass“, in which I have participated several times. Each participant creates a double page and then sends the book to someone else. At the end Geronimo gets it back. The other day he told me that he has sent about 120 books since he started the project – and has received about 12 back so far.
Above is an overview with the pages that have been designed so far. Unfortunately the „colleagues“ have written so unclearly that I can’t decipher the names – sorry guys! I got it from Alison Kurke (UK) and forwarded it to Katja Hübbers.

Carrie Helser (USA) hat mir letztes Jahr ein ganz besonderes Weihnachtsgeschenk gemacht: Ihr Freund Willyum Rowe hat für das Jahr 2020 ein Kunst-Abonnement als eine Art Spendenaktion für sich selbst konzipiert: Jeder Abonnent erhält monatlich von ihm ein Original-Kunstwerk, das in dem eigens dafür gestalteten „Museums-Umschlag“ aufbewahrt werden kann. Carrie hat ein Abo für mich gekauft.
Das ist die Februar-, März und April-Post von Willyum.  Ich mag das Abo sehr gerne!

english version:
Last year Carrie Helser (USA) gave me a very special Christmas present: Her friend Willyum Rowe has designed an art subscription for the year 2020 as a kind of fundraiser for herself: Each subscriber will receive an original work of art from him each month, which can be kept in the specially designed „museum envelope“. Carrie bought a subscription for me.
This is the February, March and April mail from Willyum. I love the subscription very much!

Die ungleichen Zwillinge
mit Geronimo Finn (1/2)

Das erste von zwei Büchern, die ich im Rahmen meines Kollaborationsprojektes
Die ungleichen Zwillinge bearbeite, ist fertig – dieses Mal mit Geronimo Finn.

Zwei gleiche Bücher aus der Insel Bücherei, vor dem Altpapiercontainer gerettet, dienen als Grundlage und werden von mir an den jeweiligen Kollaborationspartner verschickt. Beide gestalten eins der beiden Bücher als Starter, beide beenden das jeweils andere, so dass am Ende zwei Originale Bücher entstanden sind. Jeder erhält sein gestartetes Buch zurück.
Das ist das Buch, dass Geronimo gestartet hat – und ich habe es beendet.
Ausgangsmaterial: Insel Bücherei Nr. 1 Rainer Maria Rilke – Die Weise von Liebe und Tod des Cornets Christoph Rilke

The first of two books of my collaboration project
The Unequal Twins – this time with Geronimo Finn – is finished.
Two identical books from the Island Library, saved from the waste paper container, serve as a basis and will be sent by me to the respective collaboration partner. Both design one of the two books as a starter, both finish the other, so that at the end two original books are created. Everyone gets his started book back.
This is the book Geronimo started and I finished.

Im August 2018 habe ich Geronimo Finn ein Starter Set für mein Kollaborations-Projekt „Die ungleichen Zwillinge“ zugesendet. Gut Ding will Weile haben. Nun habe ich das von ihm gestartete Buch zur Fertigstellung erhalten – es geht also voran mit unseren Zwillingsbüchern. Das freut mich sehr – es geht nichts verloren, und wenn es passt, geht es weiter.
Dazu ein wie immer schön gestalteter Umschlag und eine feine Grußkarte. Herzlichen Dank!

In August 2018 I sent Geronimo Finn a starter set for my collaboration project „The Unequal Twins“. Good things take time. Now I have received the book he started for completion – so we are making progress with our twin books. I am very happy about that – nothing is lost, and if it fits, we will continue.
In addition, a beautifully designed cover as always and a fine greeting card. Thank you very much!

Mein Beitrag für TH INK – publications, der erfreulicherweise für die Publikation ausgewählt wurde. Mein Dank geht an Aaron Beebe! Bislang ist der Katalog noch nicht bei mir eingetroffen – wegen all der Einschränkungen durch Corona muss ich mich in Geduld üben, was mir schwer fällt, denn ich freue mich schon sehr darauf, mein Exemplar in den Händen zu halten.

My contribution to TH INK – publications, which was fortunately selected for publication. My thanks go to Aaron Beebe! So far, the catalogue has not yet arrived at my place – because of all the restrictions imposed by Corona, I have to be patient, which is hard for me, because I am really looking forward to holding my copy in my hands.

Frida – Der Film

Nachdem ich virtuell durch das „Blaue Haus“, das Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexiko-Stadt, lustwandelt bin, habe ich große Lust bekommen, mir den Film über sie und ihr Leben erneut anzuschauen. FRIDA ist ein Biopic aus dem Jahr 2002 von Julie Taymor mit Salma Hayek als Frida Kahlo (und Co-Produzentin) und Alfred Molina als Diego Rivera – und vielen anderen beeindruckenden SchauspielerInnen.
Absolut sehenswert.
Bei der Oscar-Verleihung 2003 wurde der Film in folgenden Kategorien ausgezeichnet: Beste Filmmusik (Elliot Goldenthal) und Beste Maske (John E. Jackson)

Dies ist die für mich passendste Kurzbeschreibung des Films:
„Die junge Frida Kahlo (temperamentvoll gespielt von Salma Hayek) gerät in ein Busunglück und überlebt schwer verletzt. Ans Bett gefesselt beginnt sie, Bilder zu malen. Sowohl ihre Verletzung, als auch die Leidenschaft zur Malerei sollten sie bis zum Ende ihres Lebens begleiten. Kurze Zeit später lernt sie Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina) kennen. Rivera ist selbst ein bekannter Maler und nicht nur von Kahlos Kunstwerken begeistert. Die beiden beginnen eine leidenschaftliche Liebesbeziehung und heiraten schließlich. Doch obwohl sie sich bedingungslos lieben, geraten Kahlo und Rivera immer wieder aneinander, betrügen und verletzen sich gegenseitig – zwei Individualisten, die nicht mit- aber auch nicht ohneeinander sein können.
Im Film sehen wir, wie Kahlos bekannteste Werke entstehen und zum Leben erwachen. An vielen Stellen wird die Handlung von surrealen Collagen unterbrochen, die die bunte Gefühls- und Gedankenwelt der Künstlerin widerspiegeln. So  verschmelzen in ihren Bildern Kunst und Lebenserfahrung auf einzigartige Weise. „Frida“ ist ein bildgewaltiges und berührendes Biopic, das nicht umsonst mit zwei Oscars ausgezeichnet wurde.“ (Quelle)

english version:
After I took a virtual stroll through the „Blue House“, the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City, I got the urge to watch the film about her and her life again.
A 2002 biopic by Julie Taymor with Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo (and co-producer) and Alfred Molina as Diego Rivera – and many other impressive actors.
Absolutely worth seeing.
At the Oscar Awards 2003 the film was awarded in the following categories: Best Film Music (Elliot Goldenthal) and Best Makeup (John E. Jackson)

This is for me the most appropriate short description of the film:
„The young Frida Kahlo (spiritedly played by Salma Hayek) gets into a bus crash and survives badly injured. Tied to bed, she begins to paint pictures. Both her injury and her passion for painting should accompany her until the end of her life. A short time later she meets Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina). Rivera is a well-known painter himself and not only enthusiastic about Kahlo’s works of art. The two begin a passionate love affair and eventually marry. But although they love each other unconditionally, Kahlo and Rivera clash again and again, cheat on and hurt each other – two individualists who can’t be with each other but also can’t be without each other.
In the film we see how Kahlo’s most famous works come into being and come to life. At many points the plot is interrupted by surreal collages that reflect the artist’s colourful world of feelings and thoughts. Thus, art and life experience merge in her paintings in a unique way. „Frida“ is a visually stunning and touching biopic, which has not won two Oscars for nothing.“ (Source)
