Neuware - Mitten im liberalen Aufbruch Zürichs in den 1830er-Jahren gründeten gebildete Bürger und Professoren der jungen Universität die Museumsgesellschaft Zürich mit dem Ziel, eine 'umfassende Lese-Anstalt' zu unterhalten. Eine Lesegesellschaft, wie es damals viele gab, doch die Museumsgesellschaft erwarb sich schnell einen Platz unter den bestdotierten und gastfreundlichsten Gesellschaften ihrer Art in Europa. Thomas Ehrsam erzählt mit der Geschichte dieser Lesegesellschaft eine Geschichte des privaten Lesens des Bürgertums in der Stadt Zürich. In Friedens- wie in Kriegszeiten war sie ein Hort der liberalen Offenheit, was sich in der Anschaffungspolitik der Bibliothek ebenso spiegelt wie in der Aufnahme von Gästen und Emigranten. Joyce, Tucholsky, Lasker-Schüler und viele mehr lasen als Mitglied oder Gast in der Museumsgesellschaft. Die Tradition der Offenheit gilt auch für das vor zehn Jahren von der Museumsgesellschaft gegründete Literaturhaus, zu dem Richard Reich einen Essay beisteuert.

This German neologism for the ­magazine report from the domestic world of celebrities encapsulates the feeling of participation in their ­private lives. It is an extremely apt title for the project initiated in Spring 2013 in the former Literaturhaus at No. 102 ­Bockenheimer Landstraße here, too, there is a focus upon tales from a domestic milieu and participation in a global cultural exchange under the auspices of constants such as origin, homeland and home. The former Literaturhaus at one time the home and villa of the Sondheimer family who fled from the Nazis was purchased by the KfW banking group in 2012 and used by the KfW Foundation before its conversion into a multi-purpose amenity. Students from the Städelschule in Frankfurt and stipend-holders from the Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin started the ball rolling with works partially ­developed on site, culminating in the opening on 13 March as an ­exhibition with a reading by Raj Kamal Jha from his novel »The Blue Bedspread«. This was followed up on 28 March by a symposium entitled »In Transit. Artists ­Travelling in the Globalised ­Present«. This book provides a rounded account of these many activities ahead of the building s refurbishment and inauguration as the official seat of the KfW ­Foundation. Alongside photographs of the installations and essays from the symposium on the individual development of artists and institu­tions in the wake of globalisation, the book also contains a fourteen-part photographic series by ­Laurenz Berges who captures the condition of the villa in a number of strictly documentary images, ­taking stock of the building in ­minute detail.

In October 2010, Jenny Holzer (born 1950) launched an ambitious public artwork in the city of Frankfurt. From the night of October 4 onward, Holzer projected a series of scrolling text works onto six public buildings in the city: the Alte Nikolaikirche, the Römer, the Dreikönigskirche, the Literaturhaus, St. Katharinenkirche and Portikus. All of the texts related to either the city itself or to the history of German Protestantism, and were drawn from the works of philosophers and writers such as Wislawa Szymborska, Theodor Adorno, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Buber, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Sören Kierkegaard, Martin Luther, Friedrich Schleiermacher and Paul Tillich. This volume records the commission, showing how Holzer's (unusually lengthy) excerpts, set in heavy, sans-serif caps, dramatized Germany's intellectual and literary heritage.
