the shape of the field / mg. 2013

is it really (only) “visual poetry” the thing I deal with?
I realize I’m absolutely interested in signs, traces, borders, explanations, asemic areas, glyphs, arrows, cacography, alphabets, open fields, blurred images, distant grass, abstract figures and movies, glitch in sound and vision, ripped cardbox, scratched wood, scratched tapes, uncanny machines, lack of meaning, naive drawings, art brut, lowres shots, random shots, bad photos of notes and things, boring manuscripts, boring explanations, boring graffiti, handwritten lists and instructions, weird diagrams, diaries, “action writing” / action painting, mixed excerpts of any kind, verbovisual chaos, contradictions, plain statements, twisted sentences, heaps of words, chalk drawings, empty rooms, empty squares, pseudo-fields of forces, found items, readymades, unfinished sketches, bad prose pieces, cut-up prose, diagonals, bunch of diagonals, ugly scribbles and doodles, fake math, stains and lakes and wires and snakes of black ink, ideograms, fake ideograms, cursive overwriting, collapse of sound, and noise, superimposed images, collage, digital collages, disturbed texts, écriture, walls and sheets of words, handwritten papers, rough handwriting, incomplete transcriptions, photos of manuscripts, scanned fragments, bad scans, arte molto povera, installances, lost leaflets, dirty ones, old and new ephemera, marginal events, short movies, b/w works, out-of-focus, stones, written stones, my bad English…
all of this stuff is what I try to mix, write, pick up, store, and
I’m against editing, post-production, bellettrisme, wise quotations, meta-language, mimicry, novels, serious art, and
I DO REJECT HI-RES.

what do I have to do with all of the thousand hi-res & calligraphically rendered online landscapes? first of all, I have some actual landscape offline. and: I’ve no time at all.

___’d better go fetch errors and misshapen signs, traces, borders, …

un seminario sulla prosa breve (che non c’è stato) _ [replica]

Lo scorso anno si sarebbero dovuti tenere in una casa privata dei seminari (di “lettere grosse“) sulla “prose très prose“, sulla prosa breve, sulla scrittura di ricerca. Qui a Roma. Una serie di imprevisti ha dirottato e poi reso irrealizzabile il progetto, ma lo schema di massima di quel che si sarebbe andati a fare e dire era grosso modo questo:

#1 cambio di paradigma
Fénéon non è Fargue. Ponge non è Michaux. Beckett non è Char. Tarkos non è Bonnefoy. Tutti leggiamo con passione Fargue, Michaux, Char, Bonnefoy. Ciò non toglie che in alcune scritture si sia verificato – o sia non illogicamente ravvisabile – un cambio di paradigma.

#2 googlism non è googling
Come funziona un sought text.

#3 alcuni luoghi comuni sfatati
Sfatiamo l’idea che l’asserzione sia il male. Che i testi freddi siano tutti “dopo il paradigma”. Che i testi freddi siano “anaffettivi” (o stupiderie simili). Che funzionino sempre. Che Costa scriva le stesse cose di Spatola. Che Costa scriva le stesse cose scritte da tutti gli autori di Tam Tam. Che la scrittura di ricerca sia tutta cut-up. Che cut-up e googlism siano sinonimi. Che cut-up, googlism e poche altre tecniche siano solo “tecniche”, e che rappresentino l’intero della scrittura di ricerca. Che il non detto, l’ombra e l’allegoria non possano essere “dopo il paradigma”. Che Corrado Costa sia giocoso (Costa è tragico, dunque è anche giocoso). Che l’opera di Giuliano Mesa sia risolvibile interamente entro i parametri del Modernismo. Che ci sia una qualche necessaria contraddizione fra tragedia e scritti “dopo il paradigma”. Che post-paradigma e postmoderno siano sinonimi. Che tutte le basi della scrittura “dopo il paradigma” siano state gettate dalle avanguardie vecchie e nuove. Che tra Gruppo 63 / Tel Quel e scritture nuove ci sia filiazione diretta e pacifica. Che la scrittura di ricerca sia “focused on language”. Che le scritture nuove siano sempre o spesso metatestuali.
