IN WORDS - Exile PEN online reading

In Words – Anthology

In this anthology, which we are publishing in honor of our late president Guy Stern, we have taken his “support and inspiration, work and leisure, guiding star and love,” language, as our starting point. For it is language that connects the members of our center.

Exile PEN, as our center is still called, is a small association with a long history. Founded in London in 1934 as the German PEN Club in exile, its membership list now includes around four hundred names, including famous authors who have found their place in the canon of German literature. Even today, our members are scattered all over the world, each with their own story of flight, expulsion, or emigration in the real or figurative sense. Stories that shape our lives and writing.

This volume contains previously unpublished stories, reflections, poems, reports, and essays, and bears witness to the diversity of the subject matter, but also to that of the writers who come together in our center.

Inspiring China

Selected highlights from the extensive collection of Chinese objects at MK&G, totaling over 3,000 items mediate principles of Chinese art such as modular design and the unity of script and image. The display includes ritual bronzes, imperial porcelain, carved lacquer, painting, calligraphy and woodblock prints.

Inspiring Japan

With its new presentation of the East Asia Collection, the MK&G is celebrating the unbroken inspirational power of Japanese design. Now on display for the first time are paintings from the Edo period (1615–1868), Buddhist calligraphy and colour woodblock prints from the private collection of Walter Gebhard, acquired by the museum in 2021. The exhibition unfolds over two storeys: In the first part, the pictures enter into a dialogue with ceramics, lacquerware, bamboo baskets, metalwork and sword ornaments from the existing collection.

Isemarkt

With a length of almost one kilometer, the Isemarkt is a particularly large weekly market. Around 200 exhibitors sell their goods here twice a week in picturesque surroundings and a nice atmosphere. The Isemarkt between the underground stations Hoheluftbrücke and Eppendorfer Baum is now a part of Hamburg that is hard to imagine without.
