Moscow-born writer Victor Erofeev, who has met Putin several times, deals with Russia's cultural, political and social situation in his books. In his most recent work “The Great Gopnik” which will be published by Matthes & Seitz in 2023, he relates his biography to that of Putin. Victor Erofeev talks with publisher Vladimir Velminsky about the current situation, the background and the future.
As a painter, Annedore Dietze has been dealing with the themes of the body, physique, movement and physical threat for many years. In her large-format paintings and collages, she seeks new artistic solutions to depict the tension between transient physicality and vulnerability on the one hand, and the beauty of existence and the vitality of nature on the other.

Anna Seghers in Wiepersdorf
Saturday, November 19, 2022, 00:01 a.m.
Online
(in German language)
Anna Seghers wrote in 1969: “I miss Wiepersdorf very much and it’s been a long time now since I was there last ... Today it seems to me as if I had never been so carefree and happy, for no particular reason, as when we were staying there and roaming through the forest.” After she returned from Mexican emigration and until the 1950s, Wiepersdorf was a place of retreat and where she could work undisturbed.
On the occasion of Anna Segher's 112th birthday on November 19, 2022, we publish a video in which literary scholar Dr. Sonja Hilzinger talks about Anna Segher's special relationship with Schloss Wiepersdorf.

Exhibition
Ohne ein Wort zu sprechen
October 02 – October 30, 2022, Sundays, 1:00–6:00 p.m.
Jägerschere, gallery for contemporary art, Wiepersdorf
“Ohne ein Wort zu sprechen” brings together the work of Kodac Ko and Peter Stauss, two Berlin-based artists who work shares an affinity for a consideration of place and moment. The work of both artists, in quite distinct ways, explore the moments before and after an action or decision and this exhibition presents a view into their work where these paradoxical concerns are explored. The title of the show (like every Jägerschere exhibition) is taken from the Brother’s Grimm re-telling of Little Red Riding Hood. In this case the original line refers describes the Wolf’s silent approach to Grandmother before he eats her.
