ALONG THE WAY - PETER BRÖTZMANN GEBUNDEN

Improvisations on the road  on tour. Being on the road so much the time-space between the tours
is not big enough for preparing big canvases and starting oil-paintings. You use what´s on the
table - paper  cardboard  an empty cigar box  pens  felts and brushes  ink in a glass or a
Chinese ink stone. You use what there is and that´s what we musicians call improvise and that´s
what the works in this book are about [and my life too] : IMPROVISATION (Peter Brötzmann) The
art that Brötzmann produces was always there  it was there before the beginning of time. It was
there before he became Machine Gun. For the public eye this art was initially used to support
his designs  you see sculptures  collages  later also watercolors etc. as the starting point or
ball-bearing of what became the incredible string of fantastic record covers  posters  fliers
etc. of the past 50+ years. The art of Brötzmann  the visual art is the kind of art that he is
able to do anytime anywhere. It is about finding something that was lost and once he finds it 
he just recombines it into that which becomes his art. Simple. But maybe he also tricks us into
thinking that. What is clear to see is that he can take three crayons and some discarded piece
of paper  paper that is always around us and then  in what looks like nano-seconds  he sketches
a vibrant representation of something that often can be associated with Home (a cup  a house  a
tray) and or Away (a ship  a landscape). And these small but primary interventions make us see
the things that we usually do not see  the potentialities that we so often discard and leave
behind as we just continue  pass by  walk on. (Markus Müller) With text contributions by Peter
