Patti Smith will be reading from her book "Just Kids" on March 19th at the lit.Cologne. Tickets for Patti's event sold out pretty much immediately but RhineBuzz managed to secure a couple places and John and I will be there. So join us after March 19th for the tour at the Mapplethorpe Retrospective as we can relay first hand anecdotes from Patti herself about the endearing friendship she shared with Mapplethorpe.

On March 19th my colleague Rita will be taking the English tour at the NRW-Forum at 9pm. Thanks Rita and thank you Manfred Schmidt for the beautiful photograph of Rita taken at the pre-opening of the show.
