Scope and Contents The use of written language has been one of the most defining developments in visual art of the twentieth century. 'Art and Text' is a unique and timely survey of this most contemporary and relevant artistic tool, tracing the relationship between language and art, from early experiments with pictorial poetry, Futurist typography and Cubist collage, through Conceptual practices to the present day...'Art and Text' documents and contextualises the fascinating relationship between word and image, showcasing the many artists who continue to use text and expand its possibilities. The book contains an forward and three essays. In the first essay, The Schwitters Legacy: Language and Art in the Early Twentieth Century by Will Hill, the author uses the reproduction of the painting "Here We Exemplyfy" by Tom Phillips which is held by the Sackner Archive.

Scope and Contents In this thesis, Hilder provides new concepts and arguments about the genesis of concrete poetry backed up by a serious interpretation and collation of published material. He relies heavily on critical texts in three full length books written in English, Liselotte Gumpel's "Concrete Poetry" from East and West Germany (1976), David Seaman's Concrete Poetry in France (1981) and Caroline Bayard's The New Poetics in Canada and Quebec. All are held by the Sackner Archive.Hilder "argues that the critical gaps in concrete poetry criticism, both contemporaneous and subsequent to the concrete poetry movement, have fallen into (1) the national fallacy: the attempt to read an international movement within a national framework; (2) the ancient fallacy: the attempt to link concrete poetry with visual poetry and word imagery dating back to ancient cultures; (3) the theoretical fallacy: the attempt retrospectively to read onto concrete poetry the post-structuralist theories of language that...

Scope and Contents In an introductory essay, Stephen Bann writes that "artists like Willem Boshoff and Frederic Bruly Bouabre clearly demonstrate the fertility of language-based investigations on African soil: Boshoff prepared for his work with dictionaries by lengthy exercises in concrete poetry." Okwui Enwezor contributes an essay "Where, What, Who, When: A Few Notes on "African" Conceptualism." Bann adds that "Willem Boshoff's conceptual practice is an elaborate effort dedicated to the study of ignorance, that is, pushing to the point of dissolution the idea that the world is knowable. Imprisoned by South African authorities for his refusal to serve in the military (the micrographic work, Kleinpen I, was produced in prison as a way to maintain mental equilibrium)... Boshoff finds in obscure and obsolete words a way to construct a map that denies sight but empowers knowledge...His study of linguistics and Wittgensteinian philosophy led him to explore other ways of rendering words into pulsating...

Scope and Contents Amazon.com review: "Impossible Histories is the first critical survey of the extraordinary experiments in the arts that took place in the former Yugoslavia from the country's founding in 1918 to its breakup in 1991. The combination of Austro-Hungarian, French, German, Italian, and Turkish influences gave Yugoslavia's avant-gardes a distinct character unlike those of other Eastern and Central European avant-gardes. Censorship and suppression kept much of the work far from the eyes and ears of the Yugoslav people, while language barriers and the inaccessibility of archives caused it to remain largely unknown to Western scholars. Even at this late stage in the scholarly investigation of the avant-garde, few Westerners have heard of the movements Belgrade surrealism, signalism, Yugo-Dada, and zenitism; the groups Alfa, Exat 51, Gorgona, OHO, and Scipion Nasice Sisters Theater; or the magazines Danas, Red Pilot, Tank, Vecnost, and Zvrk. The pieces in this collection offer comparative...
