Franz Dodel: Nicht bei Trost (A Bit Crazy)
Start of Marathon Reading / Exhibition opening

Franz Dodel: Nicht bei Trost. The material
Halle 3
An accompanying exhibition makes a spatial presentation of passages from the long poem Nicht bei Trost. The reader becomes observer and stroller, walking through the endless text.

Ulrich Schlotmann: Melkanlagen der Marke Eigenbau entsprachen den einschlägigen EU-Richtlinien nun einmal nicht wirklich (Self-Built Milking Plants did not really comply with the relevant EU Directives)
Glass Aisle
A presentation of facsimiles of the hand-written and much-revised manuscript Die Hub-, Schub- und Zugkräfte der Statik Band Eins (The Lifting, Pushing and Pulling Forces of Statics Volume One) illustrates the process of creating the exuberant sentence structures of Ulrich Schlotmann and explains how linguistic structures are built up layer by layer and resist the ubiquitous dumbing down of complex contexts and make fun of excessive regulations.

Halle 3
