Scope and Contents

The theme of this exhibition was inspired by the 100th anniversary of Mallarme's Un coup de des jamais n'abolira le hasard. Combining music and poetry and preceding the Dadists and Futurists, Mallarme constituted a line that passed to Apollinaire, Michaux, Klee, Max Ernst and Fluxus. This catalogue demonstrates the writing and artistic expression emerging in the century after Mallarme's birth. The works in this catalogue are mainly oriented to calligraphic expressions. The book has extensive illustrations of the latter that are printed in color. The Sackner Archive holds artist books similar in imagery to pages of Hubaut's book reproduced in color in this catalogue. Nanni Balestrini contributed 13 panels of an alphabetical visual poetry piece that are reproduced in color in this catalogue. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
