Scope and Contents

David Barton's introductory essay describes Cobbing's work from 1942 to 1986 as the discovery of new sound and movement in poetry. The works reprinted in this book are mainly abstract xerox images from which Cobbing performs sound poetry. Examples of Cobbing's works in "Destruction in Art Movement," some of which are held by the Sackner Archive are also included. Cobbing denotes his mimeograph (a subclassification of "xerox art" in Archive) as duplicatorprints. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

This work was exhibited in the Destruction In Art Symposium organized by Gustav Metzger and held in Prince Albert Hall in London in 1966. The event was a precursor to the art movement of Situationism. The work was composed by crumpling overtyped printed texts and printing them on a monoduplicator device as a single copy. These were then collaged onto a black painted panel. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
