Bukowski-Exhibition in Germany in summer 2014

[roni]

The program for the opening on JULY 10th is set now:

Guests will have to suffer through an introduction by me, the roni, first,
then be able to enjoy about halfanhour of Bukowski-reading by Arnd Rühlmann including Cello-accompany by Birgit Förstner
and after that a tour through the exhibition (guided by me).

Of course, there will be drinks to have.
[and I'll aim at offering some wine from the Very Start of the event (even though that's Not the usual habit at 'cultural' events).]

 

[roni]

The program for our SYMPOSIUM (AUGUST 16th) being a part of the exhibition, is Not entierly set by now.
We especially still lack the evening-event (usually a Buk-reading by some theatre-pro).

But We Definitely DO HAVE:
- David S. Calonne
- Abel Debritto
(by which I mean something like: "YEAH!!!")
I couldn't think of a more honorable line-up AT ALL!
Could You?

 

[roni]

there'll also be some unspectacular but funny curiosities, [...]

Like this one:
You always thought, ebooks would've been an invention of the very late 90s/early 2000th, did ya?

We show you the VERY FIRST ebook of Bukowski's work! It's a 3"5-disc from the early 90s (presumably 1993) and been published by MARO.
Contents:
the German 'Gedichte die einer schrieb bevor er im 8. Stockwerk aus dem Fenster sprang' and 'Kaputt in Hollywood'.

Here you go:

Did you try to read it in a computer? You'd have to find an old one, I suppose, floppy drives haven't really been popular for some time...

 

[skiroomalum]

Hahaha...hole in one bitches!!!

 

[roni]

Did you try to read it in a computer? [...]

[roni]

the other day I've been to the Literaturarchiv in Sulzbach-Rosenberg to kinda sort the items for the cabinets



Now here's a popquiz for the experts:

which specific items can you spot in this picture?

 

[Ponder]

Let's see, I spot an outsider, and another outsider, a yearbook, hot water music,
probably includes the best painting Buk ever did. I have to go now.
Oh- I believe I also see the Bukowski Special, 2004.

 

[d gray]

crucifix and cold dogs...

 

[skiroomalum]

I believe you are holding a San Francisco Review. 1959? Also a Coastlines in the other hand from 1965?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

lower right is the 'confessions...' thing from OLE.

 

[zobraks]

which specific items can you spot in this picture?

Er... What picture?

Is this the The Emperor's New Clothes kind of routine? :confused:

 

[roni]

an outsider, [...]

yes, most defintitely.

(Outsider is #3 with our very own 'Outsider of the year' on the title-page)

the Bukowski Special, 2004.

right!

another outsider, a yearbook,

nope.

crucifix and cold dogs...

yes, yes.

San Francisco Review. 1959? Also a Coastlines in the other hand from 1965?

close. it's San Francisco Review #1 (1958) / Coastlines #14-15 (1960) and Coastlines #21-22 (1964).

lower right is the 'confessions...' thing from OLE.

yep.


anything else?
maybe if you see the table (with slightly different items and in different order) from a better angle?

Is this the The Emperor's New Clothes kind of routine?

not really.
maybe your firewall rates pictures with Buk-items as 'porn'?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

Stack of wormwood, stack of laugh literary, penguin modern poets, collected manuscripts, German fuck machine(?).

 

[d gray]

BACK TO THE MACHINEGUN!!!

 

[skiroomalum]

Ain't that the LA High yearbook, the winter edition, 1939? And the Buk tribute second coming.

 

[roni]

Stack of wormwood, stack of laugh literary, penguin modern poets, collected manuscripts, [...]

yesss.

BACK TO THE MACHINEGUN!!!

you got it.

LA High yearbook, the winter edition, 1939?

both. the winter and the summer edition.

the Buk tribute second coming.

exactly.

Now, is this a line-up or What?

 

[mjp]

BACK TO THE MACHINEGUN!!!

Now, is this a line-up or What?

Ha - perfect.

 

[zobraks]

Hey, I see the picture now!
But it's upside down :acb::

 

[roni]

German fuck machine(?).

we Do have a German First of Fuck Machine, but it's not been on this pic.

Hey, I see the picture now! But it's upside down

that's an improvement. now turn your monitor 180° and everything's fine.

 

[zobraks]

now turn your monitor 180° and everything's fine.

All right, I did that and some parts fell out. Is that OK?

 

[Black Swan]

Very nice, Roni!
Thank you, show-off! :DD

 

[roni]

these two seem to be tough cookies to spot.
the experts please?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

top, new year's greetings, BSP.

bottom.......?

 

[roni]

bottom.......?

hint:
BoS should definitely know.

hint #2:
what are the other 2 items just there?

hint #3:
of what exceptional material could this cover possibly be made?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

It catches... In aBoSP clamshell.

 

[roni]

and the winner is ...
The HOOCH!

 

[roni]

[...] German fuck machine(?).

Looking at the pic now, I seem to see, where you thought you'd spot the German 'Fuck-Machine', being yellow with a white sqare on the cover.
Damn, how you deserve to be titled as 'The New Sherlock'!

here's the 'book' (a chap) you've spotted [ - on the left]:

these two have been publications in the GDR (German Democratic Republic) [ = East-Germany =DDR] at the times of communism.

That's what makes them so special:
it's been extremely unusual for the GDR-times, to let an author, who is Against All Autocratic state-power, speak out. (But then - they sure could use his rants against the bosses.)

Anyway. These are special.

What's the ~6"x6" chap w/ what appears to be a reproduced signature near the stack of Wormwoods?
