Phonic Slices and Rubbings / Kubota, Nobuo., 2001

 Item
Identifier: CC-53509-291282
Scope and Contents

Nelson Ball: 'Nobuo Kubota's bookwork Phonic Slices is one manifestation of a much larger project. Kubota began by randomly gluing wooden letters into a large sculptural work that he calls a 'phonic loaf.' He then sawed the loaf into slices, which yielded a sequence of sculptures that act as visual poems and sound scores for public performance. Next, Kubota made charcoal and graphite rubbings of the individual slices. A selection of these rubbings, along with treated scans of the original slices, make up the content of this book.' -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-08227-8389

Jacoby notes that the word, spiral, has its origins from the latin word, spirare, which means to breathe.

Internet: Paul de Vree (13 November 1909 in Antwerp, Belgium - 25 April 1982 in Antwerp, Belgium) was a Belgian poet, artist, publisher and critic. In the early 50s De Vree abandoned writing traditional poetry and then went through the stages of audiovisual poetry, concrete-visual poetry, visual poetry and poesia visiva.

De Vree was a complex and important figure with an international network and field of activity.
