Zur Rede stellen : die performativen Textinstallationen der Lyrikerin Barbara Köhler /
No full textIn her PhD thesis, Anneka Metzger examines Barbara Köhler's text installations as an example of current experimental intermedial art forms. Based on the hypothesis that lyric as a genre would be predestined to allow border crossings between different forms of art, Metzger focuses on reflexive aspects of experimental poetry. She concentrates on the 'linguistic spaces' of Barbara Köhler to analyse poetic concept as well as practical installation. Köhler's work, which in some cases escapes the exclusive sphere of the linguistic and leaps into the social and situative space, is described under the concept of 'performative poetry.' Metzger finds adequate possibilities of categorization for different text-space images and compares them with current aesthetic discussions.

Gustav Metzger at Harewood House
No full textAn interview conducted with Gustav Metzger recorded in London, and presented by Pavilion in June 2014 at Harewood House, Leeds, and in April–May 2015 at the Hepworth, Wakefield.This interview was initiated as companion research to Pavilion\u27s project Follies of Youth which examines "lost" Yorkshire landscapes designed by 18th Century landscape architect Lancelot "Capability" Brown. Our conversation focused on Metzger\u27s formative artistic experiences while living and working at in the Brown-designed landscape of Harewood House from 1943-44.Gustav Metzger (b. 1926, Nuremberg) came to England through the Kindertransport scheme in 1939. From 1941-2, he studied carpentry at the ORT Technical College on Roseville Road in Leeds and in 1943-4 worked as a joiner at the Harewood Estate. During this time he developed \u27a love affair\u27 with Temple Newsam House where curator Philip Hendy installed the Leeds Art Gallery collection and staged a series of exhibitions by modern artists, including Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore and Paul Nash.Having attended art school, on the advice of Henry Moore, Metzger published his Auto-Destructive Art Manifesto in 1959, shortly followed by his first public art demonstration at the Temple Gallery, London. In its destructiveness, his practice addresses the susceptibility of industrial society to catastrophic events. He has said, "Facing up to the Nazis and the powers of the Nazi state coloured my life as an artist.

'A date with Barbara': paracosms of the self in biographies of Barbara Newhall Follett
No full textIn 1927, 13-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett published her first book, the critically acclaimed novel, The House Without Windows and Eepersip's Life There.
Twelve years later, on December 7, 1939, 25-year-old Barbara quarrelled with her husband and left her apartment in Boston with $30 in her pocket, and a notebook. She was never seen again.
The House Without Windows is set in a paracosm (Farksolia) she invented, and ends with the metamorphosis of the titular character into a 'fairy-a wood nymph … invisible for ever to all mortals, save those few who have minds to believe, eyes to see'.
In Barbara's (auto)biography, The Unconscious Autobiography of a Child Genius (1966), written by Harold Grier McCurdy 'in collaboration with Helen Follett' (Barbara's mother), the authors wonder: 'Can we be far wrong in substituting Barbara's name for Eepersip's in the closing scenes of [House Without Windows]?
In this paper, I grapple with the formal and ethical challenges of writing about Barbara Newhall Follett, and the ways her family and others have approached the problem of writing her unresolved life story: a child raised and educated in solitude, a celebrated 'natural' child author, a young woman whose disappearance remains unsolved. The paper will explore the ways in which adults write the stories of children's lives, as nostalgia and fable, as fairytale and paracosmic narrative, and the ways in which Barbara's biographers have, consciously and unconsciously, created biographical concordances, or paracosms of the self, in seeking to make meaning of her life's story
