conio ora, in rif. a intellettuali che solo da e per un palco parlano, il seguente neologismo: coronismo-velinismo.
storia:
virus trasmesso dal wveltronismo con indice e medio a V, incubato in parallelo soprattutto dal 1994 in area mediaset, trasmesso a cascata al complesso del sistema sovrastrutturale italiano.
terapia:
nessuna. incurabile.
1. oggi si riuniscono presso il cinema-teatro gli aderenti
2. oggi aderiscono i riuniti al teatro presso il cinema
3. presso il cinema, a teatro, gli aderenti oggi si riuniscono
4. se si riunissero al cinema, sarebbero a teatro, viceversa
5. gli aderenti, se aderissero, si riunirebbero, si riuniscono
6. anche senza
Martino Oberto passed away yesterday, June 22nd, 2011.
Born in 1925, Oberto (“O.M.”) was a visual poet, asemic writer, anarchist, anartist, founder of the seminal vispo mag “Ana etcetera” (1958-70). His works have been exposed in solo and collective shows (with Munari, Dorfles, Fontana and many others) from the 50s up to now. He also made experimental movies, and wrote philosophical essays about writing & art. He lived in New York for a decade or so, then came back to Genoa in the 90s. His visions and projects of “powerless words” and “anart” [something like “anti-art”] are absolutely relevant, right now, even if they belong to his 1968 short movie “Before anarchism (freedom from culture)”.

Richard Kostelanetz (born 1940, New York) is an American writer, artist, critic, and editor of the avant-garde. He is infamous for his prolific and often biting prose. In his short fictions (some only 2 words long) and visual poetry, RK employs a radically formalist approach consisting of arrangements of words on a page using such devices as linking language and sequence, punning, alliteration, parallelism, constructivism, and minimalism. His literary work challenges the reader in unconventional ways and is often printed in limited editions at small presses. Kostelanetz’s nonfiction work The End of Intelligent Writing: Literary Politics in America (1974) charged the New York literary and publishing establishment with inhibiting the publishing and promotion of works by innovative younger authors. Among his other works are Recyclings: A Literary Autobiography (1974, 1984), Politics in the African-American Novel (1991), Published Encomia, 1967-91 (1991), On Innovative Art(ist)s (1992) and A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes (1999, 2001). In 1970 Kostelanetz co-founded and directed the innovative annual aptly called Assembling; thirteen editions of “otherwise unpublishable” art and literature, including the Complete Assembling were produced between 1970 and 1982. Now scarce, Kunstverein will have the complete set of Assembling 1 through 13 on view. Also available will be the many recordings and audiocassettes issued on RK’s own label, as well as critically acclaimed edited works on B.B. King, Merci Cunningham, John Cage and Gertrude Stein.
For reasons closely connected to Kostelanetz’s practice we feel it is consistent that Kunstverein becomes a Bookstore dedicated to the artist – as a more viable alternative to a straight forward retrospective. The Richard Kostelanetz Bookstore will host and sell all of RK’s publications (over 80 titles). As well, rare artifacts, editions and smaller artworks will be on view in the secret backroom. Richard Kostelanetz’s role since the late 60s has been one of instigator, assembler, editor, artist and journalist. This multi-relational practice is not only historically significant, it is unquestionably inspirational and exemplary for the present.
Openings & Closings – The Richard Kostelanetz Bookstore is conceived in dialogue with Hyo Kwon and Goda Budvytyte
