Live and act
Lutz Fiebig grew up in Leipzig-Stötteritz . At the age of 14 he joined church circles and thus went into opposition to the prescribed membership in the GDR youth associations. As a result, the path to high school and university was denied him. From 1978 to 1980 he trained as a car mechanic in Leipzig and during this time applied to study Protestant theology. He received a rejection because he had not yet completed basic military service.
The experience of being drafted for basic military service with the NVA made him believe that he wanted to leave the GDR. In the summer of 1980 he made his first attempt to escape via Bulgaria, which failed for health reasons and initially had no consequences for him. In 1982, together with the aircraft designer Günter Steinhäuser, he built two gas balloons of different sizes and other means of escape with the aim of crossing the inner-German border . Both were arrested by the State Security on September 19, 1982 and charged and convicted of "flight from the republic in serious cases" before the Grimma District Court. He served political imprisonment in the Cottbus penal institution until he was ransomed by the federal government in August 1984. Rehabilitation by the Dresden Higher Regional Court took place in 1992. He is a recognized victim of Stalinism and today acts as a contemporary witness at the coordinating contemporary witness office of the Berlin-Hohenschönhausen Memorial .
In January 1985, Fiebig moved to Munich , where he initially worked in his learned profession and founded the Fiebig technical office in the same year. As an autodidact, he took on various jobs as technical services in the field of hardware development and project management in industry. The job of project management for the passenger information system (FIS) on the ICE (1st generation) from MAN Technologie GmbH took him to Berlin in 1990 , where he also took up residence.
From 1988 to 1992 he was managing director of the “Die Schmiede” gallery for contemporary art, which was run together with the pharmacist Roland Henneberg in Aying near Munich. There were u. a. Exhibitions with graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts Munich ( Thomas Demand , Gerd H. Hortsch, Josef Alexander Henselmann , Ursula Henselmann) as well as with artists who moved from the GDR (Günter Firit, Lutz Friedel , Hans-Hendrik Grimmling , Gil Schlesinger and Klaus Staps ) realized.
In 1992 Fiebig founded the art publisher "edition fiebig berlin" in Berlin-Lübars . The result was an ambitious program with bibliophile and original graphic artist books as well as portfolios on the subject of literature, visual art and new music, mostly as textual first publications, with authors and graphic artists from the so-called New Federal States. Four of the books were in the final round for the Walter Tiemann Prize at the Leipzig School of Graphics and Book Art in 1996, 1998 and 2000 . Frank Eißner designed the publisher's signature as a woodcut.
In the summer of 1996 he opened the Lutz Fiebig gallery in Berlin's Scheunenviertel. There he presented an international program of contemporary art and realized exhibitions with Hans-Hendrik Grimmling , Olivier Christinat, Robert Jacobsen, Klaus Zylla , Kim Juyon, Ugo Dossi , Martin Noll, Micha Brendel, Melanie Manchot, Rudolf Ortner , Sluik / Kurpershoek, Christiane Molan, Gerhild Ebel and a. The publishing house and gallery took part in national and international art and book fairs.
In 1999 Fiebig founded with Matthias Arndt and Alexander Wahrlich the KunstKonsum GmbH in Berlin, which started as a "museum shop without a museum" in the Hackesche Höfe in Berlin and is now based in Magdeburg.
Fiebig publishes his own texts under the pseudonym Marian Mattner and photographs as Jacques Tueverlin.
