Juliette's literary salon

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Juliette's Literatursalon was a German bookshop with a publishing house and gallery in Berlin . With spectacular events between 1997 and 2003, the salon was a meeting point for people working in culture and those interested in culture. It was founded by the author and performance artist Hartmut Fischer (* 1967). The naming is due to the figure of Juliette from the novel by Marquis de Sade , the enlightenment thoughts of Voltaire and the Berlin salon men Rahel Varnhagen , Henriette Herz .

Juliette's literary café at Club Voltaire

This was preceded by Juliette's literary café in Tübingen , which Fischer founded in 1987 together with Eckehart Opitz. Fischer organized numerous literary performances and readings, among others with Yoko Tawada , Claudia Gehrke , Charlotte von Mahlsdorf , Erich Maas , Peter Wawerzinek . JLC also realized a comprehensive retrospective on the work of the author Hubert Fichte with, among others, Tahar Ben Jelloun , the first Prix ​​Goncourt prize winner from the Maghreb, Hans Mayer , Leonore Mau , as well as Hartmut Böhme , Napoleon Seyfarth and others.

In 1992 Fischer and Opitz published "Das Buch Diletata", an homage to the Tübingen Club and the birthplace of DADA , the Zurich Cabaret Voltaire . Together with the Krakow musicians Maciek Strojny and Jacek Ruszkiewicz, Fischer and Opitz toured with their theater performance "KettenSeele" from 1992 to 2000 at international theater festivals such as the "Krakowskie Reminiscencje Teatralne", the Edinburgh Festival Fringe , the "audio-art festival" Kraków Etc.

Juliette's Literature Salon, Berlin

From 1997 to 2003 Fischer ran Juliette's literature salon in Berlin , which was also a bookstore, publisher and gallery. With its spectacular events, the salon was a meeting place for people working in culture and those interested in culture of all kinds. In 1998, Peer Martiny recited the newly translated essays by Michel de Montaigne for nine days and nights .

From May 1999, the Reading Text Machine was staged in Juliette's literature salon , a reading marathon that spanned several years. Numerous writers, theoreticians, artists and musicians read and interpreted continuously and completely the 4,000-page novel " Justine " and "Juliette" by the Marquis de Sade, which was first published in 10 volumes in German by the Matthes & Seitz publishing house . They included Blixa Bargeld, Durs Grünbein , Katharina Thalbach , Hermann Treusch , Thomas Macho , Gerburg Treusch-Dieter , Martin Wuttke , Harry Hass, Andreas L. Hofbauer , Kang Moon-suk with Uwe Mengel, Heinrich Dubel, Peer Martiny, Ben Becker , Julia Regehr, Peter Brasch , Olaf Nicolai and Eshu, Michael Farin , Angela Winkler and Thomas Brasch , Thomas Kapielski , Lauren Newton with Koho Mori-Newton and Hendrik Rohlf, Friedrich Kittler , Miron Zownir, Thea Dorn , Michael Pfister, Ambros Waibel , Stefan Hufschmidt , Katharina Franck , Andrea Jeremias and Harald Koch, Ulrike Haage , Thomas Thieme , Cora Chilcott, Anna Stieblich and Henry Meyer, Franca Kastein Ferrera Alves , Rosa von Praunheim , Slavoj Zizek , Richard Shusterman, Jack Sergeant, Susan Neiman , Y. Michal Bodemann, Pierre Bourgeade , Pavel Kohout and numerous other performers.

In 1999 Peter Brasch lived and worked in JLS for a few weeks. Together with Hartmut Fischer, Thomas Brasch planned to publish his last, several thousand-page prose work "Love and her opposite" in the publishing house of Juliette's literary salon. A first volume of the poems was prepared for printing with Thomas Wild. The joint edition could not be continued due to the death of Brasch in 2001. Since then, this "Brunke convolute" has been in the unpublished estate of the archive of the Berlin Academy of the Arts. In 2005, based on this bundle, the video installation and reading "Reading Fugue - Thomas Brasch. Love and Its Opposite or Girl Murderer Brunke" was created in the Jewish Museum, Berlin , with Blixa Bargeld , Marion Brasch , Herbert Fritsch , Lars Rudolph , Otto Sander , Anna Thalbach and Angela Winkler .

Since 2010, in collaboration with Eckhard Hammel, the online installation "Juliette's Literature Web" has been created, which documents the events from "Juliette's Literature Café" and "Juliette's Literature Salon" and more recent events.
