Calendar

‘Fliegende Blätter’ by Marthe Lallemand presents a selection of titles from the HGB Library’s collection, including the journal *Fliegende Blätter* (1844–1944), *Imago*, *FKW*, *Imprimatur*, *Reichsdrucke*, *Das Plakat*, etc. The selection follows a feminist thread through the collection. Viewed side by side, these titles share a common vocabulary: traces of what is shown or concealed in a culture when it is not ‘revealed’.

One page from each title is reproduced: title page, half-title, frontispiece, endpaper, book cover, blank page or colophon – by hand, sometimes as a pencil drawing, sometimes as a letterpress print or a painting. The format remains uniform, 76 × 56 cm, regardless of meaning, classification or paper quality. The posters, encased in hand-sewn camouflage sleeves made of tea-stained paper, are integrated in a site-specific manner into the library’s objects and architecture, as well as into display cases and shelves.

For the ‘Hidden Treasures’ exhibition series, publications from the HGB Library’s stacks – which are not otherwise freely accessible – are presented. Often, only a subtly placed, colour-coded bookmark or a coloured backing indicates that the item is part of the exhibition.
