life and work

Xago grew up in Elsterwerda in southern Brandenburg. From 1959 to 1962 he completed his Abitur as well as a simultaneous vocational training as a machinist and stoker in the brown coal combine (BKK) Lauchhammer .

He studied at the Humboldt University in Berlin from 1962 to 1966, first philosophy with Wolfgang Heise , then literature and cultural studies. His fellow students included Wolfgang Thierse , Lothar Bisky , Renate Reschke and Frank Hörnigk .

From 1966 Xago was an assistant at the Babelsberg University of Film and Television . There he came into contact with Sergej Eisenstein's drawings , which gave him lasting inspiration. He was in contact with the painter-directors Andrei Tarkowski and Jürgen Böttcher (Strawalde) , the latter encouraging Xago in his first attempts as a painter.

In 1970, Xago moved to the German Building Academy of the GDR . He did research on urban planning sociology and the painters at the Bauhaus . Paul Klee's Bauhaus teaching interests him. At the beginning of 1975 he published critical remarks on urban planning in the GDR in the journal Für Dich . This was followed by reprimand by the Ministry of Building, including the statement that the sociologists depicted (Xago and Helga Wetzel ) looked like members of the Baader-Meinhof gang . At the same time, Xago began to paint more intensely. Small exhibitions followed. On December 5 and 6, 1975, RIAS and the BBC broadcast a commentary on Xago's and Diether Schmidt's Paul Klee lecture in the Berlin City Library . A reference by GDR artists to Klee was still officially not considered desirable at the time. The first Klee exhibition in the GDR did not take place until 1984. The Bauakademie quit Xago, which prompted him to work entirely as a freelance painter and graphic artist. In 1976 he joined the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR (VBK) . In addition to painting and graphics , the field of book design opened up to him through Lothar Reher , artistic director of the Volk und Welt publishing house . Since then, Xago has worked on more than 150 books for 20 publishers as a draftsman, illustrator and designer, including some that have received awards in the annual “ Most Beautiful Books of the GDR ” competition. In 1985, one of Xago's posters was selected for one of his own exhibitions in the show “ The 100 best posters of the year ”. He published regularly in magazines such as Das Magazin , Sibylle , Für Dich and Neue Berliner Illustrierte (NBI) . Xago participated in pleinairs in Poland several times in the 1970s and 1980s . He exhibited in Berlin , Dresden , Amsterdam , Paris , Leipzig , Schwerin , Stuttgart and Steyr , among others . Xago developed his own surreal-grotesque style, which is not only characterized by delicate drawings and blurred transitions in his aqua oils, but also draws its strength from ironic-associative titles and puns.

In 1989, Xago was one of the co-organizers of the large-scale demonstration initiated by cultural workers in the GDR on November 4th in Berlin, which heralded the final turning point in the GDR . On April 11, 1990, Xago was elected the first and last freely elected President and “First Speaker” of the Association of Visual Artists . Until the self-dissolution of the association on December 12, 1990, he organized the process of decentralization and federalization of art in the new federal states. In 1991 the Senate of Berlin appointed Xago to the “bank” of lateral thinkers and hecklers with personalities such as Wim Wenders , Marion Countess Dönhoff , Friedrich Dieckmann and Volker Hauff in the Stadtforum Berlin . In the same year Xago followed a suggestion by Ernst Fuchs and became a member of the fictional artist group EUROPHA (EUROpean PHAntasten). From 1991 to 1994 he worked in the open art workshop in Berlin. There he worked with artists from Ecuador, among others . Since the mid-1990s, Xago has increasingly turned to the production of bibliophile books in small editions, which he writes, draws and designs himself. The Pirckheimer Society brought in 1996 his hitherto illustrated books in the magazine a first bibliography MARGIN ALIEN out. On behalf of the Berlin Bibliophile Evening , he designed their 2009 annual edition, their own book about Armenia . Xago was and is a frequent guest at various institutions (1990: Symposium Europäische Kulturpolitik Bonn; 1991: Scholarship from the City of Lucca ; 1998: Goethe-Institut Paris; 1998: Institute of Germanic Studies at the University of London; 2003: Ash Wednesday speech by the Berlin artists in the Gemäldegalerie of the Staatliche Museen Berlin ; 2004: scholarship in the papal town of Castel Gandolfo , Italy).
