Alighiero e Boetti , 2011

 Item
Identifier: CC-54247-643135
Scope and Contents Amazon.com: "Alighiero e Boetti (1940-1994) has emerged as one of the most significant figures of postwar European art whose practice is having an unfolding impact on younger artists. His powerful influence can be attributed to the material diversity of his work, its conceptual ingenuity, and his political sensibility. His work, though usually associated with the Italian Arte Povera group and Conceptual Art, has never quite fit into these contexts. Boetti ceased making Arte Povera--type objects in 1969 after a few years of association with the group, and his later choice of materials (embroidery, calligraphy, mosaic, kilims) put a gulf between his work and that of most artists of the 1970s and 1980s."The author, Mark Godfrey, is a curator at Tate Modern in London and a former lecturer at the Slade School of Art, University College London.Boetti had an idiosyncratic style of working, and he often collaborated with or commissioned others to execute his ideas, including his celebrated...

Scope and Contents Product Description: "This landmark book, together with its accompanying CD, captures the heady excitement of the vibrant, irreverent poetry scene of New York's Lower East Side in the 1960s. Drawing from personal interviews with many of the participants, from unpublished letters, and from rare sound recordings, Daniel Kane brings together for the first time the people, political events, and poetic roots that coalesced into a highly influential community. From the poetry-reading venues of the early sixties, such as those at the Les Deux Megots and Le Metro coffeehouses to The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church, a vital forum for poets to this day, Kane traces the history of this literary renaissance, showing how it was born from a culture of publicly performed poetry. The Lower East Side in the sixties proved foundational in American verse culture, a defining era for the artistic and political avant-garde. The voices and works of John Ashbery, Amiri Baraka, Charles Bernstein, Bill...

Scope and Contents The book consist of interviews between Myers and the various artist/poets in the book.Independent Publisher review: Alphabets Sublime is a collection of interviews with 20 artists and writers by George Myers, Jr., book editor for The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio), as well as critic, fiction author, and bookwork artist. Subtitled Contemporary Artists on Collage and Visual Literature, this book is "not a history but a 'slice of life' of the art of the 80s that touches on assemblage, intermedia, visual literature, Fluxus, dada, and bookworks as objets d'art" (quoted from the book's back cover).In his introductory essay, Myers states that "collage is the culmination of the world," and that "visual literature is the culmination of the word." The book's dialogic format allows the reader to infer an informal yet journalistic give-and-take between artist and interviewer. Myers' questions focus on matters of technique, artistic intention, and on views held by the artists of the social,...
