Word Order

The Changing Room, Stirling

Concrete Poetry & its Influence

To coincide with Stirling’s new literary festival Off The Page, The Changing Room presents the exhibition Word Order, exploring the historic and inspirational link between poetry and visual art.

Throughout the Sixties and early Seventies, Concrete Poetry was one of the most internationally lively movements in the arts, involving a fertile interaction between poets and artists. Its influence continues to be felt today.

Word Order includes historic material from the University of Stirling archives, such as work by Ernst Jandl (Germany) and Pierre Garnier (France) alongside publications and prints by important Scottish concrete poets Edwin Morgan and Ian Hamilton Finlay. More recent work in the constructed poem accompanies this work, including new wall pieces and screen prints by Scottish artists David Bellingham, Thomas A Clark, Julie Johnstone and Alec Finlay. These screen prints were editioned by Peacock Printmakers earlier in 2006 and are available for sale.

Word Order is a Peacock visual arts touring exhibition curated by Cairn Gallery, Pittenweem.

Off site exhibitions

To coincide with Word Order, a selection of David Bellingham’s work is being exhibited in the University of Stirling library.
A selection of publications by Thomas A Clark is also on display next to the reference section at Stirling's Central Library.
