Seidenpudelspitz is an international art project organized by the association Sillixen AG​ in cooperation with the City of Bayreuth in Germany on the occasion of 250th anniversary of the birth of Jean Paul Friedrich Richter - one of the leading writers of German romanticism. The project Seidenpudelspitz at Friedrichstrasse, (where the artist once lived) in March 2013 was established over a dozen art installations developed by an international group of artists.

 

In spite of his self-fashioning as a strange old bird, Jean Paul was a quite strategic writer. His presence as an author in his writings, his reflections about the possibility to tell a story in a particular manner, or better not to tell a story but to transform it into an appendix of other stories are currently perceived as contributing to the difficulty of reading his books. But, at the very same time, these reflections about himself indicate, that there was nothing coincidental, but also that there was nothing obligatory in his stories. Jean Paul used these reflections to highlight his writing’s quality of being artificial, to be a form of artwork. Jean Paul was not much interested in a coherent fiction.

Ich möchte einem kleinen Teil von Jean Pauls Werk  physische Präsenz außerhalb von Buchdeckeln geben. Dazu schreibe ich mit Feder und Tusche einen speziell herausgesuchten Text von Jean Paul ab. Wie Gebrauchsgüter sollen die einzelnen Abschnitte dieses Textauszugs in den normalen Alltag integriert werden.

SILIXENAG took the chance to us the 250th anniversary of Jean Paul on 21th of March 2013 as source for an art-project and to place the activities into the center of Friedrichstrasse in Bayreuth.

 

Focus Europa e.V. – Art without borders – organized the 7th International Contemporary Art on the Plassenburg in Kulmbach; the exhibition lasted from 10th Feburary to 10th March 2013. More than 50 artists from Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Switzerland, Slovakia, Italy, Turkey and Germany displayed top-flight artworks. To network art in Europe, is the goal of Focus Europa e.V. Generous supporters and a huge number of voluntary workers with enormous personal effort made the project possible.

​​Those who are interested in culture probably know what the contemporary German or Italian art is like. But how many of us know what and how is created in Latvia, Estonia and Turkey?

The ordinary fish from the ray family has been conducting mainly the demersal lifestyle. "The fish likes to swim, although it is not alive." It is not aware of having its brave saw and the holes called the spiracles. The spiracles are paired. Infusing. The saw had two holes. Once it drank by them only. It thought they were solely for the purpose of scooping water into its mouth, that it will always be drinking. It was wrong.
