His works integrate a wide variety of artistic media, combining movement, dance, painting, lighting, furniture design, sculpture, music and text into a unified whole. His visual images are both aesthetically striking and emotionally charged, and his productions have earned the acclaim of audiences and critics throughout the world. His numerous awards and honors include the Golden Lion for sculpture from the Venice Biennale (1993); the German Theater Critics award for Best Production of the Year (1990); an Obie award for direction ( 1986); the third Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize for lifetime achievement (1996): the Premio Europa award from Taormina Arte (1997): and the BZ-Kulturpreis, awarded in Berlin (1997). In 1986 his internationa l epic the CIVIL wars was the sole nominee for the Pulitzer Prize in drama that year. A native of Waco, Texas, Mr. Wilson was educated at the University of Texas and New York City's Pratt Institute. By the late 1960s he was acknowledged as one of the leading figures in Manhattan's avant-garde theater world. Working with his Byrd Hoffman School of Byrds he developed widely acclaimed pieces such as Deaf man Glance ( 1970) and The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin ( 1973). His 1976 opera Einstein on the Beach, written with compose r Philip Glass, achieved world-wide success and altered conventional perceptions of opera as an art form. In Europe Mr. Wilson has staged both original works -- such as Death , Destruction and Detroit at Berlin's Schaubuhne Theater in 1979 - and productions from the traditional repertoire. In 1987 his version of Strauss's Salome appeared at La Scala in Milan. He staged three operas in 1991: Parsifal (Hamburg), Lohengr in (Zurich), and The Magic Flute (Paris), and in 1993 he presented Madame Butterfly at the Opera Bastille. Mr. Wilson's art works have been shown in museums and galleries throughout the world. Extensive retrospectives have been presented at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Institute Valenciano de Arte Moderno, Valencia. He has mounted installations in numerous locations, including the Venice Biennale, Museum Boymans-van BAM Next Wave Festival and Spring Season are sponsored by Philip Morris CompaniesInc. Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Galerie der Stadt in Stuttgart, and London's Clink Street Vaults. In 1996 he created the centennial installation for the Galeries Lafayette in Paris. The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has long been a favored venue for Mr. Wilson's works. Beginning in 1969 with The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud, BAM has presented Deafmtm Glance (1970), The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin (1973), The$ Value of Man (1975), Einstein on the Beach (1984 and 1992), the CIVIL warS-Rome Section (1986), The Golden Windows (1988), The Black Rider (1993), and Alice (1995).

  • Hace Cuatro Años, Lou Reed Se Fue Caminando Tranquilo Por El Lado Salvaje
    Hace cuatro años, Lou Reed se fue caminando tranquilo por el lado salvaje Cerebro y motor de Velvet Underground , agrupación estadounidense que influyó a cuanta vanguardia contracultural se levantara por la música de Occidente desde fines de los años 60, Lou Reed estuvo siempre allá arriba. A los 71 años dejó este mundo un día 27 de octubre de 2013, yéndose tranquilo, caminando por ese lado de la vía que siempre le atrajo. Generalmente incomprendido, aunque siempre respetado, el músico colaboró permanentemente a la cultura de darle el beneficio a la duda a todo lo que se moviera. Con la muerte del destacado artista se fueron casi cincuenta años de música rock, industria en la que el compositor y guitarrista influyó enormemente. Foto original de Guido Harari. Con una carrera que compartió con igual intensidad talento con excesos, Reed había optado en la última década por una vida más ordenada y tranquila. A pesar de eso, la salud cobraba sus cuentas y en mayo del 2013 se sometió a un complejo transplante de hígado, del cual -al parecer- nunca quedó bien, según la revista musical estadounidense Rolling Stone. Casado durante muchos años con la cantante y artista visual Laurie Anderson, Reed tuvo que enfrentar el último tiempo con un permanente deterioro de su salud. Nacido y criado en Brooklyn , sus primeros pasos en el mundo de la música van de la mano del artista Andy Warhol y su activa Factory de los prolíficos años 60. Su álbum debut, el que pasó a calidad de clásico también por su portada hecha por el propio Warhol en la que sólo aparece un plátano, incluye verdaderos clásicos como “Heroin”.

  • Make Them Vomit« Heroin Von the Velvet Underground
    Z Literaturwiss Linguistik (2016) 46:183–200 DOI 10.1007/s41244-016-0013-7 THEMENBEITRAG »Make them vomit« Heroin von The Velvet Underground Gerhard Kaiser Online publiziert: 19. Juli 2016 © J.B. Metzler Verlag GmbH, Stuttgart 2016 Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag schlägt eine ›dichte Beschreibung‹ des Songs He- roin vor, der auf dem ersten Album von The Velvet Underground im Jahr 1967 erschien. Meine These lautet, dass Heroin – vor dem Hintergrund der pop-histori- schen Umwälzungen in der zweiten Hälfte der 1960er Jahre, die man als eine ›Sattel- zeit‹ der Popmusik ansehen kann – aus einem dreifachen Prozess der ›Verkunstung‹ resultiert, der auf verschiedenen Typen von Konventionsverletzung beruht. Diese betreffen die konventionellen Regeln der Verpackung (Andy Warhols Bananenco- ver), ebenso textliche (die ebenso neutrale wie pointiert literarische Darstellung des Drogenkonsums) und musikalische Konventionen (J. Cales dissonante Viola-Per- formance und M. Tuckers ebenso dilettantisches wie geniales Schlagzeug), die in ihrer Kombination eine jener provokanten Grenzüberschreitungen ergeben, welche die Grammatik und Semantik der populären Musik nachhaltig verändert haben. Da- rüber hinaus besitzt das Ende des Stückes einen jener seltenen Momente, der sich, unter Bezug auf die Arbeiten von Roland Barthes und des Pop-Theoretikers Diedrich Diederichsen, als ›punctum‹ bezeichnen lässt. Schlüsselwörter Popkultur · Dichte Beschreibung · Pop Art · Punktum · Performance »Make them vomit« Heroin by The Velvet Underground Abstract The article offers a »thick description« of the song Heroin, which ap- peared on the first album of The Velvet Underground in 1967. My thesis is that Heroin – against the backdrop of pop-historical upheavals of the second half of G. Kaiser () Universität Göttingen, 37073 Göttingen, Deutschland E-Mail: [email protected] 184 G.
