Edition Mariannenpresse

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Edition Mariannenpresse was a book publisher in Berlin-Kreuzberg , the 1979 to 2008 under various carriers under scholarships bibliophile editions of writers and visual artists has issued - the 130th and final book has been submitted yet later in 2009.

history

Edition Mariannenpresse was founded in 1979 on the initiative of Hannes Schwenger as a project of the New Society for Literature (NGL) funded by the West Berlin Senate , which at the same time acted as the first publisher, in this function later by the educational work of the Professional Association of Visual Artists * in Berlin (BBK) and most recently by the Literaturhaus Berlin in collaboration with BBK and NGL (1973–2004).

As an institution for artists' self-government, it used diversity as a project of public and private art funding and was awarded the Victor Otto Stomps Prize in 1999 for this .

Due to sales problems, the initiator and publisher Hannes Schwenger had to announce the discontinuation of Edition Mariannenpresse at the end of the year after 129 books or first editions in October 2008, but in 2009, after 30 years with Aus gepresst - Almanac of Edition Mariannenpresse, gave the 130th and thus very last edition out as the "Condolence Book of Edition Mariannenpresse".

scholarship

Funding model

As a member of the Senate jury for authors' grants, Hannes Schwenger proposed at the end of the 1970s that the Edition Mariannenpresse be set up as a production grant in cooperation with the printing workshops of the bbk . He then drafted the statute together with Dietger Pforte as the literary advisor to the West Berlin Senate. In 1979 Edition Mariannenpresse was finally founded as a project grant from the West Berlin Senate Scholarships for authors.

Until 2001, the edition was funded by the Berlin Senate as a public art funding project and then supported by foundations and private sponsors. Edition Mariannenpresse used the Bethanien printing workshop on Mariannenplatz in Berlin-Kreuzberg for its book editions . There was later a collaboration for printing the book editions with the Saal-Presse in Bergsdorf near Berlin as well as with the Tabor-Presse and the printing workshops of the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). There were also partnerships going beyond that with the UdK and the DAAD .

Edition Mariannenpresse awarded scholarships in the form of publication grants, which on the one hand covers the production costs of a book publication - poetry or fiction prose or graphics or drawings or lithographs , often a combination of text and image - by authors and / or visual artists and also the authors and artists were guaranteed 25 percent of the proceeds from the sales of their books as a fee. The authors and visual artists themselves were usually involved in the various printing processes.

Scholarship holders

The scholarship holders listed in the book editions came from the Federal Republic and the GDR before 1990, as well as from Austria and Switzerland, among others. In addition, the book editions by no means only present early works , and quite a few of the authors and artists also achieved national and international fame (later) - or were already known when they were published in the Mariannenpresse. As representatives here are Durs Grünbein , Urs Jaeggi , Helga Novak , Einar Schleef , Ingo Schulze and Guntram Vesper and Hartwig Ebersbach , Ebrahim Ehrari , Sarah Haffner , Dieter Goltzsche , Evelyn Kuwertz and Cornelia mucus .

In some book editions, works were also presented posthumously and contrasted with the work of a living author or artist.

Trivia

Schernikau , who applied for GDR citizenship in 1989 and moved to Berlin-Hellersdorf on September 1, 1989 , was the author of Edition Mariannenpresse.

Notes on the list

The list contains all 130 book editions of Edition Mariannenpresse - usually one-time bibliophile editions , mostly printed editions with up to 250 numbered, signed copies - in the order of their volume number. (Sometimes volume numbers differ from the chronology of the year of publication - the time at which a scholarship was awarded may have been the determining factor.)

The respective issuing corporations analogous to a publisher such as NGL, BBK, Literaturhaus Berlin (sometimes supplemented by information on a jury) are named, insofar as u. a. listed in the DNB - if there is no mention or restriction to the place and year of publication, the DNB sometimes refers to Edition Mariannenpresse itself as the publisher.

In contrast to the usual bibliographical information, after the volume number, in addition to the authors, the visual artists and the relevant contents are given in brackets and only then is the title, etc. mentioned. This follows the idea that text contributions such as picture supplements or illustrations were equally supported with a print in Edition Mariannenpresse. Exceptions are works that have only been submitted by one author or artist.
