“garbage collection”, by jaap blonk (red fox press, 2021)

For Garbage Collection Jaap Blonk made collages from trash paper and all kinds of cheap stuff. All of them also feature his asemic scribbles, that are distant descendants of the symbols he created for the notation of his sound poems.
Then he processed them digitally – only the colours, not the forms – with many different self-coded algorithms that he developed over the years.

 

Jaap Blonk (born 1953 in Woerden, Netherlands) is a self-taught composer, performer, poet and visual artist.
His unfinished studies in mathematics and musicology mainly created a penchant for activities in a Dada vein, as did several unsuccessful jobs in offices and other well-organized systems.
In the late 1970s he started to compose music. A few years later he discovered his potential as a vocal performer, at first in reciting poetry and later on in improvisations and his own compositions. From the mid-1990s on Blonk started work with electronics as well.
Since 2006 he has been using mathematics again for algorithmic composition for the creation of music, visual work and poetry.
As a vocalist, Jaap Blonk is unique for his powerful stage presence and keen grasp of structure. He has performed around the world, on all continents. With the use of live electronics and interactive visuals the scope and range of his concerts has acquired a considerable extension.
Blonk’s recorded output comprises some 50 titles: CDs, vinyl, books and cassettes.
From his sound poetry scores he developed an independent body of visual work, which has been published and exhibited.

centroscritture, 21 giugno: un incontro su “verso la poesia totale”, di adriano spatola

Dopo la recente conclusione del breve corso su 6 libri fondamentali del secondo Novecento e del nuovo secolo, e in attesa di riprendere le attività in autunno, il CentroScritture propone un seminario consistente in un solo incontro, dedicato a Verso la poesia totale, di Adriano Spatola: https://www.centroscritture.it/eventi.

Lunedì 21 giugno, alle ore 18, il seminario – tenuto da Valerio Massaroni – ripercorrerà le tappe della “poesia totale” a partire dal lavoro teorico di Spatola, pubblicato in prima edizione nel 1969 e fondamentale per l’estetica del Novecento.

Si ragionerà su concetti quali poema-oggetto, poesia concreta, poesia visuale, poesia fonetica e poesia gestuale, per approfondire poi una tendenza all’ibridazione della poesia con le altre arti (plastiche, musicali, performative) nel tentativo, tutt’ora in corso in alcune linee della scrittura contemporanea, di costituire un’arte della parola che superi i confini in cui tradizionalmente è stata concepita e praticata la poesia come letteratura.

Si discuteranno gli esiti di queste sperimentazioni, per valutare quanto aggiungano e quanto invece tolgano alla poesia (tradizionalmente intesa).

Per partecipare basterà essere registrati al sito e associati al CentroScritture (al costo di € 5).

Accedendo poi alla pagina https://www.centroscritture.it/eventi si potrà effettuare la prenotazione, con acquisto di un biglietto (a zero euro): si riceverà così il link Zoom per l’accesso alla classe virtuale e alla registrazione dell’incontro.

farewell to david-baptiste chirot

from http://dbqp.blogspot.com/2005/07/rock-and-wall-animal-david-baptiste.html

It’s impossible for me to say how sad I feel in reading now that artist and friend David-Baptiste Chirot has passed away.

We started talking, and exchanging works via the net, in 2006-2007, if I’m not wrong.
He’s been contributing for years to my blogs, like fluxishare.blogspot.com, and free online editions (like differxhost: https://it.scribd.com/doc/22212352/D-B-Chirot-Killer-Chrome or gammm: https://it.scribd.com/doc/22218970/chirot-death-from-this-window or slowforward: https://slowforward.net/2009/07/26/david-baptiste-chirots-ghost-dancers/).

Farewell, David. I’ll go on admiring your works and sharing them.
