An Evening with The Leatherman - In Kooperation mit dem Kölnischen Kunstverein

»An Evening with the Leatherman« expands the exhibition at Kölnischer Kunstverein. Drawing on the book "Der Ledermann spricht mit Hubert Fichte" (1977) by Hubert Fichte and Hans Eppendorfer, artist Lili Reynaud-Dewar, author Diedrich Diederichsen, filmmaker Oona von Maydell, and curators Pierre-Alexandre Mateos and Charles Teyssou explore social power structures and subcultural counter-narratives in the context of postwar German society and beyond — with a particular focus on the role of BDSM and leather culture. The panel will address the intellectual genesis of the book and its 1979 theatrical adaptation »The Leatherman«.
