Scriptures / Mills, Neil., 1971

 Item
Identifier: CC-47686-68704
Scope and Contents Designated Writers Forum Number Ten. Mills writes: "That poetry developed language as medium of perception or experience with the coming of the printed poem, when poetry was first known to young men as a silent thing, when a poet could be a poet & never read aloud, the bard died away, but not extinct. That language as object of perception or experience, that is modulation of human voice as carrier of poetic truth rather than semantically induced mental pictures, or, in visual terms, the magic of the written sign, in 20th century urban environment made explicit, was implicit always in the spoken chant or poem & the awe of the rune. That these 2 languages can lead to very different poetries, as regards emphasis on word as semantics, but.as regards poetry as meaning in other than semantic terms, this theoretical division is useless, that sound poetry as such is an extraction from all poetry that has ever been written or recited, that poetry has always been music when spoken,...

Silence: a gavotte is so difficult nobody knows how to do it now. No.13 / Barry Flanagan, editor ; Flanagan B., 1965

 Item
Identifier: CC-39486-41442
Scope and Contents This periodical was edited by Barry Flanagan. According to Thames and Hudsons Dictionary of Arts and Artists, Flanagan is "a British sculptor who has emerged since the 1960s as one of the most interesting, original and distinguished contemporary sculptors. He studied at St Martin's School of Art 1964-6, at the time when Caro and King were teaching there. Initially Flanagan made abstract work with a variety of materials -- cloth, rope, sand, polystyrene, light and glass -- some of which were Environmental installations. Flanagan also made films, drawings, etchings and furniture. From the 1970s he started working in metals, stone, clay and marble: his 'anarchic wit' became even more pronounced in this work; he also began making discreet references to traditional carving and modelling in mysterious, fossil-like sculptures, or references to prehistoric and Celtic iconography.

Scope and Contents

In 1957, a few experimental European groups came together to form the Situationist International. The name came from their aim of liberating everyday life through the creation of open-ended, participatory situations (as opposed to fixed works of art). Over the next decade the situationists developed a critique of the global spectacle-commodity system, and their new methods of agitation helped trigger the May 1968 revolt in France. Although the SI was dissolved in 1972, situationist theories and tactics have continued to inspire radical currents in dozens of countries all over the world. This is the most comprehensive collection of situationist writings in English, greatly revised and expanded, with over 100 pages of new material. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
