Duck exhibit in the Netherlands

Hi,
Today I picked up a flyer somewhere about an exhibit in Rotterdam titled
"Duckburg is everywhere". The flyer reads:
"Who doesn't know Donald Duck? The witty, clumsy Duck, the everlasting
loser, always young and immortal? But what do you really know about Donald
Duck and his friends? Did you know, for instance, that the history of Duck
and his grandfathers goes back way before the time of the Neandertalhers?
Recent research shows that ducks dominated in the most important moments in
cultural history. Reason enough for the Kunsthal in Rotterdam to devote a
large exhibit to the famous history of the Ducks: in lifesize,
three-dimensional dioramas the the heroic adventures of the famous ducks are
shown. Also scenes from life in Duckburg of today can be seen and
experienced in the dioramas."
There is more. If anyone is interested I can translate the whole thing.
There are pictures of a statue of an ancient Egyptian duck statue. A
painting of a dog as Vincent Van Gogh. A Donald in a Leonardo DaVinci
drawing, a Duck Mona Lisa painting, a Duck of Troy and more.
More information: http://www.kunsthal.nl/english/agenda.html
The exhibit runs from 15 April to 27 August 2000.
Anyone interested in going there with a group of the mailing list?
Especially the Dutch people?
Greetings,
Arthur

This is (basically) a German exhibition, and it's non-Disney. This means you
won't find any official Disney character there.
The exhibition has been in Holland before, in Hoorn. That's where I visited
it.

I've spent the last two months working in Australia and have not
had time to throw more than occasional quick glances at the Disney
comics digests. I apologise if the two matters I'm now pushing towards
your collective attention have already been notified & discussed.
1. The high-profile German weekly magazine "Der Spiegel" has a good
article in its April 22 issue about Duck comics as such and interestingly
also about the Duck reading culture in Germany. The D.O.N.A.L.D.
(Deutsche Organisation nicht-kommerzieller Anh{\"a}nger des
lauteren Donaldismus) is throughly discussed. Readers are also being
told of Barks, Erika Fuchs the translator, the "An die Donaldistische
Freude" which is sung at all meetings, and so on.
Check http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,73804,00.html .
Try also the www.donald.org Heimat-Seite.
2. According to various sources Donald Duck was born in June 1934,
but the Dutch culture-philosopher Eckart Bauer holds that his
existence predates that of Homo Sapiens. We should not be surprised,
therefore, to find an art exhibition featuring "Mona Duck", early
instances of `Anas Erectus', and a Mickey Mouse version of a van Gogh
self-portrait, and much more, in beautiful `de Kunsthal' in Rotterdam.
The title of the exhibition is `Overal is Duckstad' (`Dukcburg is
everywhere'). It lasts until September 3.
This Dutch exhibition is not quite new; previous versions have been
held in Austria and elsewhere in Holland. About 30,000 visitors
came to this exhibition when it was staged in het Museum van de Twintigste
Eeuw [Museum of the 20th Century] om Hoorn.

It's a tough question, because Donald evolved a lot in his first few years.
I'd add Dick Huemer to the list, who (with Art Babbitt) animated Donald in
"The Wise Little Hen". Dick Lundy was the first to animate Donald's bad
temper in the original "Orphan's Benefit". Fred Spencer wrote the famous
character analysis of Donald in 1935. Then you have to include the
contributions of Barks and Hannah in the late '30s which really defined
Donald's screen personality.
I think Walt Disney originally had a vague idea of the character he wanted
and all of these people who worked for him played their part in bringing it
to life. The name "Donald Duck" was used in print as early as 1931, when he
was referred to as one of Mickey's many friends. Then Clarence Nash was
chosen in 1933 to do the voice (it's not clear whether he approached Disney
first or if Disney contacted him after hearing him on the radio). Then the
artists came up with their visual concepts. It was a team effort, but it
all had to be in line with what the boss wanted.

I just received Another Rainbow's spring catalog. It contains a letter
from Bruce Hamilton, which I believe is of interest to the list. I'm
reproducing most of it below, omitting the more commercial bits about
some pre-Gladstone Disney comics that they will be making available for
sale in the near future.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gladstone Comic Book Report
If I've learned one thing in the last 50 years it is that you can
sometimes read between the lines. Apparently a pact has been agreed to
between The Walt Disney Company and Diamond Comics Distributors to say
nothing--good or bad-, promising or unpromising--about what's going on
in the negotiations for Diamond to resume publishing Gladstone's comic
books. So, I guess it's time _to read between the lines!_
After an incredible fifteen months the talks are still going on, so I
would say that's promising. If either side were to take a non-negotiable
position, it would stop the talks dead. But I hear the discussions
continue, and--attorney's fees being what they are--I'm tempted to read
something positive here _between the lines._
As we have said before, full refund moneys have been set aside and anyone
can get a refund for their comic book subscription at any time. However,
Steve Geppi of Diamond has assured me all unfulfilled subscriptions will
receive extra issues as a "patience" bonus. I just talked to Gary and
Sue Leach the other day and Gary told me they're getting a "nostalgic
longing" to resume producing the Disney line of comic books, several
issues of which are all but finished, ready to go to press.
Carl Barks Kudos Wanted!
Carl Barks celebrated his 99th birthday March 27 and if there's anyone
who really does not need kudos, it's Barks. Nonetheless, there will be
year-long centennial celebrations honoring the Old Duck Man which Another
Rainbow will join, probably on the Internet, so we're inviting everyone
to write, fax or e-mail us a paragraph on _"What Carl Barks Means To Me."_
It can be personal, professional, nostalgic or inspirational, we just want
to know your feelings. And we'd like to print or post on the Internet
what you've written. Please write and tell us if we can use your quote,
name, state, and country (no specific addresses will be given).

That's wrong! I've been there too - twice - and especially the Duck family
can be seen everywhere, as merchandising and as parodying paintings.
What does Harry mean? It's true that the makers aren't Disney officials,
but their exhibition really proves its theme "Duckburg is everywhere".

I was really surprised yesterday when I came home. The newest Aku Ankka was waiting there and it had an amazing cover of the Coin story (of course made by Don Rosa). The comic also had an collector image and an article where Don tells about making the story and of course the story. This number of Aku Ankka is this year's best if you are a Rosa fan 'cause it has so many things made by Don inside of it.
here you can see the cover at Aku Ankka's homepage...

I guess maybe an apology might be in order. I did not mean to denigrate the artwork at the "Strange Website". The whole thing could be looked at in a different perspective. Because the drawings were under the title of "Studying the Master Vol I", from my perspective it seemed to mean that the drawings were those of Mr. Barks. Looking at it from a different viewpoint, I suppose that one can also presume that it represents the works of someone who has "studied the master", and in that sense I am not trying to be critical of the artist who drew the ducks. I am not the only one who may have interpreted things the way I did, that they represented Mr. Barks works. So, please accept my apologies for any misinterpretations of the website and I hope that you in-turn, do not misinterpret my motivations--i.e., to indicate that these were not drawn by Carl Barks.
