1968ref. 908Condition: Good. This softbound first edition has a fading cover in places unmarked pages and good binding. The publication is found nowhere but here. The Michael McClure play The Beard 1965 was causing controversy everywhere it played and when performed in a class on directing plays at Fullerton College in November 1967 in response to complaints a state senate committee conducted a hearing. The result was this report and a subsequent senate bill in February 1968. It stated in part that "every student . and every teacher or school official who knowingly permits . any simulated act of sexual intercourse or deviant sexual conduct occurring during the course of a play . is guilty of misdemeanor." The bill passed the senate in May 1968 but in the Assembly the bill died in committee. The report is of ongoing interest for the conflict it portrays between free expression in this case artistic expression and intolerant governmental reactions to it by reason of stewardship over taxpayer dollars. This orientation is revealed in particular in the questions that committee members put to witnesses in particular the instructor of the class on directing plays and his frustrated struggle to explain his academic mission.

1962ref. 8221C1962. Berlin/West. 1962. Verschiedene Formate. 34 Photographien. Original-Photographien montiert auf Karton im zeitgenössischen dunkelroten Plastik-Sammelordner. Trägerkarton mit geringen Gebrauchsspuren sonst gut erhalten. Altersentsprechend guter Zustand. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Dokumentation der mittlerweile historischen Wanderausstellung "Berlin - Die deutsche Hauptstadt" aus dem Jahr 1962. Verantwortet vom West-Berliner Senat ging die Ausstellung in den Jahren nach 1962 vielfach auf Reisen durch die damalige Bundesrepublik West-Deutschland und darüber hinaus. Die Berliner Ausstellung bestand aus Photographien Texten Schautafeln Karten Plänen und zahlreichen Exponaten aus der Berliner Stadt- und Kulturgeschichte in Vitrinen. Ziel der Ausstellung war die Darstellung der Berliner Entwicklung von der einst bedeutenden Reichshauptstadt bis zum zerstörten Berlin nach 1945 und zur seit 1961 sogar geteilten Stadt. Die Photographien stammen aus dem Nachlaß des Berliner Gebrauchsgrafikers Werner Gruschke. Er hatte diese auf Karton montiert und in einem Ordner zur Berliner Ausstellung sortiert. Mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit war Werner Gruschke zeitgenössisch an der Gestaltung der umfassenden Ausstellung mitbeteiligt und legte deshalb auch Wert auf eine Dokumentation der temporären Ausstellung. Da die Berlin-Ausstellung in zahlreichen Städten Westdeutschlands gezeigt wurde seit 1962 musste sie auch mehrfach ausgebessert ersetzt und durch neue Materialien verstärkt werden. Vermutlich hat sich die genaue Zusammensetzung der Ausstellung in den Jahren 1962-1964 auch verändert. Auch ist die Ausstellung unter dem Titel "Berlin - Bollwerk der Freiheit" in den Niederlanden und möglicherweise auch in anderen europäischen Ländern gezeigt worden. Wahrscheinlich ist daß es sich hier nur um einen bestimmten Teil - zum Beispiel um den Fokus "Berliner Teilung" - gehandelt hat. Enthalten sind insgesamt vierunddreißig Original-Photographien in verschiedenen Formaten: 104 x 14 cm / 115 x 175 cm / 172 x 235 cm. Die Aufnahmen zeigen mehrere der damaligen Ausstellungsräume mit Blick auf Tafeln und ihre Inhalte Vitrinen und sonstige Visualisierungen. Die Ausstellung reichte damals von preußisch-berlinischer Geschichte bis hin zur geteilten Stadt und umfasste auch Bereiche wie Architektur Kunst oder Porzellan. Die Wanderausstellung über das Berlin von 1962 - damals nur noch ein Schatten der einstigen Reichshauptstadt - wurde von weit über einer Million Menschen gesehen. Enthalten in der Dokumentation Gruschkes sind auch zwei zeitgenössische Zeitungsberichte über die Ausstellung und ihre Präsentation zwischen Schwarzwald und Den Haag. Von heute gesehen ein interessantes Stück neuerer Berliner Geschichte denn der Senat von West-Berlin präsentierte hier der bundesdeutschen und europäischen Öffentlichkeit auch ein neues Selbstverständnis der Stadt welche für Monarchie und NS-Herrschaft vor Augen stand und für letztere auch mit ihrer Zerstörung und sogar einer Teilung zahlte.
