After a long day spent vainly scanning the gestures of the sidewalk beau monde for significance, the footsore flâneur looks forward to a beaker of Chateau Baron Munchausen Bateau Ivre ’68 in the soothing gloom of the Dingo Bar, an early Chet Baker track cooling the atmosphere, where he can leaf through the pages of the latest Jacket magazine undisturbed!

Horse. is an exhibition that takes an imaginative and expansive look at text-based art practices from the 1960s to the present day. In particular the exhibition is inspired by the example of Concrete Poetry, a movement that flowered in the 60s but which is now largely forgotten. Concrete Poetry explored the graphic potential of language alongside its poetic and literary possibilities, and so too do the works in this exhibition, which includes works by figures who emerged in the 60s alongside those of younger, contemporary artists. The Scottish artist and writer Ian Hamilton Finlay was - in one of his many incarnations - a leading proponent of Concrete Poetry in Britain, and the exhibition takes its title from a periodical that he ran from 1962 to 1968, and which featured graphic and literary experiments by Finlay alongside those of other artists and poets. | | 2009-07-12 / Sunday 12 July at 2:30 p.m. FREE panel discussion and readings | Australia: Sydney: Museum of Contemporary Art, 140 George Street The Rocks Sydney NSW 2000 Australia Telephone: (+612) 9245 2400 | FREE panel discussion and readings: based on the current exhibition Avoiding Myth and Message: Australian Artists and the Literary World: 7 April - 12 July 2009: Panel: Ken Bolton, Lucas Ihlein, John Tranter: Chair: Pam Brown Avoiding Myth and Message: An MCA collection based project featuring artists whose works have been informed by Australian literature.

The exhibition also includes ephemera, publications and media-based works produced by artists and publishers from 1968 onwards. MCA collection works will be augmented by selected loans from artists and local collections. Public programs are an integral part of the exhibition.

Why do we choose the poem as a primary means of expression? What does it mean to take on the identity of "Poet?" These and other crucial questions become the ground for talking about the life of a poet over time, and the relationship of poetry to art and music. Haiku, Whitman and Dickinson, modernists such as W.C. Williams and H.D. -- along with the poetry of today, will lead us to look on the role of a poet in the larger society. | | 2009-08-18 / 18 a 21 de Agosto 2009, | Chile: Santiago: Universidad Diego Portales, Santiago, Chile. | *Convocatoria Congreso* *LA UNIVERSIDAD DESCONOCIDA* *Laboratorio de Literatura* Escuela de Literatura Creativa Tomando como punto de partida la expresión acuñada por Roberto Bolaño, un autor caracterizado por la ruptura de límites creativos y culturales, la Universidad Diego Portales convoca al congreso “La Universidad Desconocida”. Se espera abrir un espacio de encuentro de críticos, autores e investigadores organizado como un laboratorio en el que confluyen la reflexión, la experimentación con el lenguaje y la exhibición de trabajos en diversos formatos (sonoro, visual, performático, digital, etc.). El propósito de este congreso es abordar las distintas formas de experimentación en la literatura y sus diálogos con otros lenguajes artísticos desde la investigación, la crítica, el ejercicio creativo, así como también desde la disidencia, la oposición y el escepticismo. Así, esperamos dar cabida a un diálogo abierto y constructivo de un campo de estudios que excede las clasificaciones por géneros literarios, soportes, temas y períodos históricos. Bases en www.udp.cl Recepción de propuestas hasta el 20 de abril. Mail de contacto: universidad.desconocida [ât] mail.udp.cl *Se agradece su difusión* |
