Jochen Malmsheimer - Statt wesentlich die Welt bewegt, hab' ich wohl nur das Meer gepflügt…

"Statt wesentlich die Welt bewegt,
hab' ich wohl nur das Meer gepflügt..."
ein Rigorosum sondershausen

The title of Jochen Malmsheimer's current show traces back to Simon Bolivar, who - if the internet is to be believed, and far too many people believe it these days - spent a long time living with Jean-Paul Sartre. Then again, it may have been Simone Signoret who lived with Sartre.

Or perhaps Sartre lived alone - though constantly in his boudoir.
Or maybe Sartre lived with no one at all, except perhaps a Beaujolais and a few tokens. Gitanes.
Who can say? And, above all, why?

This programme - empty in the morning but thoroughly filling in the evening - features neither eland antelopes nor bromeliads nor other sweet-grass varieties, because those, quite rightly, are strictly protected.

Beyond various other oddities, it tackles the fundamental error of cycling, the rarity of art, its mysterious relationship with the moon, and other large and medium-sized questions - all very rigorously.

But as always and everywhere, the same rule applies:
What really happens, only the wind knows!
