Barbara Rose Haum

Tonight I saw German Singer Herbert Grönemeyer with his song Mensch. And I was reminded on you. You are very missed to me.

Dear Henri, dear Talia,

I knew Barbara since her school days in frankfurt. She was somebody which impressed me with her brillant mind and her bubbling over with ideas. In the last three days till I know that she is passing I remind so many scene she was laughing very loud or discussing with me full energy. I miss her voice, her laughing, her positive view of the world and her power. It was a pleasure to me be be her friend.

Dear Henri, Dear Talia,

Even after six months have passed it is hard to believe we will no longer see Barbara in the path or at the ocean. We miss her very much.

Dear Henri and Talia,
From the moment I saw pregnant Barbara in the winter fields of Prospect Park with her beautiful Soma dog running like a zephyr, I thought she was the most elegant pregnant person I've ever seen. She was an amazing force of nature, and the world is greatly dimmed by her absence.
With love to you both,
Becky Campbell

Dear Henry, dear Talia,

I remember so well the days I could spend at your house and all the wonderful discussions. The house was vibrant with life - and I am confident that Barbara's great spirit is still there in all the memories. I feel very honoured to have met her and I will always remember her as a very creative, talented artist full of ideas and energy.

Wishing you all the best for the future.

But its good to say that many projects worked out - she was part of Forest Art and Vogelfrei and thats the best way to stay in our minds with her wonderful, unusual and completely engaging performative ideas.
I want to...

The tremendous life force that was beautiful, brilliant Barbara Rose Haum was with me for 25 years. Our journey together began as young women in downtown NYC, and ended in Cornell Weill. This long journey took us to so many places , from Coney Island to Fire Island to Shelter Island, to Frankfurt, Paris, Montreal, to each others weddings, to the hospitals for the birth of our children, to her performances, to our kitchen tables, to our last headstands together two days before she was...

I was deeply saddened to learn of Barbara's passing. She was and will always remain a person of exceptional beauty and talent in my heart. I have many very fond memories of Barbara-- an introduction to grilled sardines and apple wine in Frankfurt, riding bikes through Munster, air mattresses in Miami, her performance at BJ, and of course the writings of Julia Kristeva. Barbara was a brilliant thinker and visual artist. She had a way all her own of presenting her ideas and...
