Concrete Poetry

Hayward Gallery, London

Some original work from the the mid-1950s, drawn from The Saison Poetry Library's Rare Books Collection


sintesi del comunicato stampa

Concrete poetry is the name given to a type of poetry whereby the form and visual pattern of the words is as important as their meaning. As a movement, it was active chiefly from the mid-1950s (the term being coined in Brazil around that time) until the mid 1970s, when other variants such as visual poetry and sound poetry gathered ground. This exhibition brings together some original work from the period, drawn from The Saison Poetry Library's Rare Books Collection (based in the Royal Festival Hall), and places alongside these contemporary artworks responding, not only to the original movement, but also the specific context of the show, in the Hayward's Concrete Cafe'. Artists exhibited: Paul Buck, Bob Cobbing, Patrick Coyle, John Furnival, Dom Sylvester Houedard, Lizzie Hughes, Per Huttner, Sara Mackillop, Pieter Laurens Mol, Edwin Morgan. Curated by Richard Parry.
