VERFREUNDUNGSEFFEKT

Friend o' Omis and Sauna Youth member Jen Calleja will be launching her much anticipated German-English language magazine Verfreundungseffekt next Friday 24th February, alongside an exhibition at the Heimatmusuem in Hackney.  Amongst work by many other fine young folks from our extended family, Omi Palone member and third-person fan Simon Marsham has contributed photographs and verse to the project.

MITKOMMEN!

Here are all the details from Jenfer herself -


Heimatmuseum and Bathysphere Editions present: Verfreundungseffekt
LAUNCH PARTY/EXHIBITION OPENING - FRIDAY 24TH FEBRUARY 6pm - 9pm
EXHIBITION - SATURDAY 25th - SUNDAY 26th FEBRUARY 11am - 5pm
Verfreundungseffekt is a German-English language magazine exploring ‘Germanness’ and ‘The Angloamerican’, designed by Joseph Hales and edited by Jen Calleja. The magazine and exhibition assume cultures to be mythologies created by the tourist or the emigrant from another nation, with this perspective raising questions about the performance, idealisation and stereotyping of nationalities, as well as the possibility and problems of translation and comprehension.

Verfreundungseffekt is a more ethnographic record of the modern-day émigrés moving from the UK to Germany/Germany to the UK/America compared to the academic, over-analysed and generalised accounts of these countries' history and culture. The magazine was formed from an appreciation of German culture and language and a wish to help promote it, and will stand as a document of the individuals who move between the world of the German and the world outside of it. Verfreundungseffekt will be sold at the exhibition at an introductory price of 5 POUNDS.

The exhibition will run Friday 24th February – Sunday 26th February, with the Magazine launch from 6pm – 9pm on the Friday and a ‘Curator’s Talk’ at 2pm on the Saturday.
