endre szkárosi passed away

VERY SAD NEWS
ENDRE SZKAROSI (28 maggio 1952 – 22 marzo 2022) PASSED AWAY.
Purtroppo, due giorni fa, Endre ci ha lasciato. Era nato a Budapest nel 1952. Poeta, performer, insegnava letteratura italiana all’Università di Budapest. Fin dagli anni ottanta, aveva avuto rapporti con gli ambienti letterari italiani, nei quali aveva coltivato studi e amicizie fraterne. In Ungheria aveva organizzato importanti iniziative editoriali e rassegne di poesia sperimentale. Tra queste, la dodicesima edizione del festival transnazionale, animato da Jean-Jacques Lebel, “Poliphonix” (1988), al quale, tra l’altro, intervennero Adriano Spatola, Bernard Heidsieck, Françoise Janicot, Joel Hubaut, Tibor Papp. Fu in quell’occasione che la nostra amicizia si consolidò.
Nel 2006 aveva curato l’antologia multimediale “Il mondo è stato riconsiderato. Poesie italiane del secondo Novecento” (CDrom Bölcsész Konzorcium HEFOP Iroda, Budapest, 2006).
Le sue sperimentazioni di poesia sonora, ma anche di arti visive, videopoesia e performance, erano apprezzate sulla scena internazionale. Ha collaborato con vari gruppi di musicali, fra i quali i Konnektor, la band inglese Towering Inferno e Spiritus Noister. Ha partecipato a numerosi festival internazionali di poesia e performance.
Voglio ricordarlo con questa gioiosa fotografia scattata a Santa Teresa di Gallura, in occasione del festival “Poesia Azioni Parole”, a cura di Paolo Berardelli (anche lui recentemente scomparso).

Unfortunately, Endre left us two days ago. He was born in Budapest in 1952. Poet, performer, he taught Italian literature at the University of Budapest. Since the eighties, he had had relations with the Italian literary circles, in which he cultivated studies and fraternal friendships. In Hungary he had organized important editorial initiatives and reviews of experimental poetry. Among these, the twelfth edition of the transnational festival, animated by Jean-Jacques Lebel, “Poliphonix” (1988), which, among other things, was attended by Adriano Spatola, Bernard Heidsieck, Joel Hubaut, Tibor Papp, Alberto Masala and me. It was on that occasion that our friendship was consolidated.
In 2006 he edited the multimedia anthology “Il mondo è stato riconsiderato. Poesie italiane del secondo Novecento / The world has been reconsidered. Italian poems of the second half of the twentieth century” (CDrom Bölcsész Konzorcium HEFOP Iroda, Budapest, 2006).
His experiments in sound poetry, but also in visual arts, video poetry and performance, were appreciated on the international scene. He has collaborated with various musical groups, including Konnektor, the English band Towering Inferno and Spiritus Noister. He has participated in numerous international poetry and performance festivals.
I want to remember him with a joyful photograph taken in Santa Teresa di Gallura (Sardinia), on the occasion of the “Poesia Azioni Parole / Poetry Actions Words” festival, curated by Paolo Berardelli (who also recently passed away).

[…] Reunion is an event without a score; originally performed by playing a game of chess on a chessboard created by Lowell Cross. The game works as an indeterminate structure: as a game of chess is played, the moves of the players on the board activate four compositions and distribute them to eight speakers surrounding the audience.

“walden” aka “diaries, notes and sketches” / jonas mekas. 1969
16mm, colour – filmed 1964 to 1968
Poet Jonas Mekas, born in Lithuania in 1922, invented the diary form of film-making. ‘Walden’, his first completed diary film, is an epic portrait of the New York avant-garde art scene of the 60s, is also a groundbreaking work of personal cinema.
The film features figures of the scene such as Jonas Mekas, P. Adams Sitney, Tony Conrad, Stan Brakhage, Carl Th. Dreyer, Timothy Leary, Baba Ram Dass, Gregory Markopoulos, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, Jerome Hill, Barbet Schroeder, Jack Smith, Edie Sedgwick, Nico, Velvet Underground, Ken Jacobs, Hans Richter, Standish D. Lawder, Adolfas Mekas, Shirley Clarke, Jud Yalkut, Peter Kubelka, Michael Snow and Richard Foreman.
“Since 1950 I have been keeping a film diary. I have been walking around with my Bolex and reacting to the immediate reality: situations, friends, New York, seasons of the year. On some days I shoot ten frames, on others ten seconds, still on others ten minutes. Or I shoot nothing…. Walden contains material from the years 1964-1968 strung together in chronological order.” – Jonas Mekas

história da poesia visual brasileira _ 2019
Thanks to Yuri Bruscky
Here’s the PDF file of the catalog of the exhibition História da Poesia Visual Brasileira (History of Brazilian Visual Poetry), held in Sesc Bom Retiro (São Paulo/SP, Brazil), in 2019. Curators: Yuri Bruscky, Paulo Bruscky, Adolfo Montejo Navas. The expo also included a sound poetry section.
This publication was linked to a second (and summarized) version of the exhibition, which was originally held in 2016 at the Museu de Arte Moderna ALoísio Magalhães/Mamam (Recife/PE, Brazil) — and resulted in a more extensive book in terms of compiled works and republished historical/anthological texts (to be digitally available soon).

tutto su mio padre / fabiana sargentini. 2003
oggi al cantiere: musica minimalista, fabiana sargentini, paolo coteni
Con Paolo Coteni se ne va uno degli ultimi artisti totalmente scollegato da salotti & intrallazzi, molto legato invece ad una Roma popolare, trasteverina, ormai scomparsa, anche per la speculazione immobiliare che ha cacciato dal centro i romani, ma Paolo era anche un artista sperimentale (Roma negli anni ’60-’70 era un punto di riferimento della ricerca teatrale, musicale, artistica e non solo a livello nazionale): oggi, domani e dopodomani dalle 18 alle 21 al CANTIERE (via G.Modena), un film di Fabiana Sargentini, gli anni ’60 e ’70 all’Attico, e tra le altre cose si parlerà dei primi incontri di Musica Minimalista che Paolo Coteni conosceva molto bene, forse meglio di tutti.
