Life

Schwarz grew up in Görlitz without a father with his mother Erna Lenski, who worked at the Görlitz Theater. In 1973 he passed his Abitur at the Extended Oberschule Görlitz and was married for a short time. In 1985 he remarried. This marriage resulted in two children.

Schwarz studied philosophy at the Karl Marx University in Leipzig and graduated in 1977 with a degree in philology with a thesis on Ernesto Che Guevara . Then he was a research student and received his doctorate in 1981 under Dieter Uhlig on the subject of "Internationalist Consciousness".

Career history

From 1980 to 1982 he was a teacher at the Hans Otto Leipzig Theater Academy , then until 1985 research assistant at the Academy of Arts of the GDR . This was followed by an apprenticeship in Leipzig for a PhD B for Ernesto Cardenal . The dissertation could no longer be defended in the turmoil of political upheaval in the GDR. At the same time, he denied the editorial work of the magazine assets Lyric Center at the Academy of Arts. From 1989 until its dissolution, he worked at the Ministry of Culture of the GDR . This was followed by unemployment and retraining to become a marketing and communications specialist. From 1995 to 2007, Schwarz was a PR employee in the parliamentary group of the PDS and Die Linke Sachsen . During this time he edited the group's various publications, in particular the monthly parliament from Links . In 2007 he suffered a serious illness and became unable to work in 2009.

Klaus-Peter Schwarz was a member of the GDR Writers' Association , from 1994 to 2000 he was a member of the state board of the PDS Saxony. He was involved in the "Anti-Ice Age Committee" 1990/92 and in the association "Song and social movements eV"

Works

Black started out as a poet. Songs and plays and first prose followed. In the eighties, translations, adaptations (e.g. by Bob Dylan) and own song texts for various song groups and performers were created. He published in the literary magazines ndl und Temperamente . Further publications emerged in the late literary underground of the GDR, in 1988 in Bizarre Cities 2 and in 1989/90 in the magazine Sondeur . In an essay Art in Human Rising, written in the mid-1980s , it says: “... Resistance is also necessary against socialism ...” Schwarz justifies this with the “categorical imperative of Karl Marx”, “to overturn all conditions in which man is humiliated , a slave, an abandoned, a contemptible being. "( MEW 1/385)

After 1990 he worked for theater projects. Various publications were made on literature, politics and art, including in Utopie Kreativ , in Campo de Criptana and some online newspapers. For the group Quijote from Chemnitz he created song texts and adaptations.

Since the late eighties, Klaus-Peter Schwarz has been developing a comprehensive art concept under the label “DaDa Hoelz”. Originally intended as a programmatic synonym for the author, this increasingly developed into an art concept for the World Wide Web and was there until 2010. The children 's book Charlys Ideen - Marx für Kids (1996), which Schwarz also presented at readings, was part of this project .
