Way back in 2008, American writers Crag Hill and Nico Vassilakis put out a world wide call for submissions for an upcoming anthology of visual poetry. Slowly, in the two intervening years, a 300 page book of such work has been brought together which covers the decade between 1998 and 2008, and features well over 125 different seasoned and emerging writer/artists from around the world. Cut to March of 2010; while these intrepid editors are busily shopping this gargantuan (and very colourful) manuscript around to an array of would-be publishers, Common Ground Art Gallery of Windsor Ontario has jumped at the opportunity to be the first gallery in Canada to exhibit a sneak peak at what these editors are hoping to see published sometime later this year.


Haven't the foggiest notion as to what The Last Vispo is? Should you find yourself in the area, there's no quicker way to answer that question for yourself by attending the reception we are holding in honour of the many artists, writers and editors who have all profoundly contributed to the curious phenomenon of visual poetry; a veritable black sheep on the landscape of our language arts. So come on down to Common Ground the evening of Saturday March 13th beginning at 7 pm and see for yourself what all the fuss is about.


The following artists from The Last Vispo have works currently on display in the gallery:


mIEKAL AND (U.S.A.), Hartmut Andryczuk (Germany), Petra Backonja (U.S.A.), Michael Basinski (U.S.A.), Guy R. Beining (U.S.A.), Marc Bell & Jason McLean (Canada), John M. Bennett (U.S.A.), Carla Bertola (Italy), Jaap Blonk (Holland), Chrisitan Bok (Canada), Daniel f. Bradley (Canada), Nancy Burr (U.S.A.), Mike Cannell (England), David Baptiste Chirot (U.S.A.), Jo Cook (Canada), Judith Copithorne (Canada), Klaus Peter Dencker (Germany), Brian Dettmer (U.S.A.), Fabio Doctorovich (Argentina), Maria Damon (U.S.A.), Amanda Earl (Canada), Shayne Ehman (Canada), Greg Evason (Canada), Oded Ezer (Israel), Luc Firens (Belgium), Angela Genusa (U.S.A.), Jesse Glass (Japan), Robert Grenier (U.S.A.), Bob Grumman (U.S.A.), Scott Helmes (U.S.A.), Geof Huth (U.S.A.), Serkan Isin (Turkey), Michael Jacobson (U.S.A.), Karl Jirgens (Canada), Alex Jorgensen (U.S.A.), Chris Joseph (England), Joe Keppler (U.S.A.), Dirk Krecker (Germany), Edward Kuleman (Russia), Jim Leftwich (U.S.A.), Troy Lloyd (U.S.A.), Carlos M. Luis (U.S.A.), Jeurgen O. Olbrich (Germany), Sonja Ahlers (Canada), Donato Mancini (Canada), Cy Machina (Canada), Keiichi Nakamura (Japan), Marko Niemi (Finland), Rea Nikonova (Russia), Christopher Olsen (Canada), Clemente Padin (Uruguay), Michael Peters (U.S.A.), Nick Piombino (U.S.A.), Ross Priddle (Canada), e.g. vajda (U.S.A.), Marilyn Rosenberg (U.S.A.), Jenny Sampirisi (Canada), Suzan Sari (Turkey), Serge Segay (Russia), Douglas Spangle (U.S.A.), Litsa Spathi (Greece), Pete Spence (Australia), Matina Stamatakis (U.S.A.), Miroljub Todorovic (Serbia), Cecil Touchon (U.S.A.), Aysegul Tozeren (Turkey), Stephen Vincent (U.S.A.), Reid Wood (U.S.A.) and James Yeary (U.S.A.). -- ENOUGH ! ENOUGH !


But wait, that's not all !


Karl Jirgens, editor of Rampike Magazine (since 1979!) and former Head of the English Department at the University of Windsor currently on sabbatical, (and ALSO one of two local Windsorites whose work will be featured in this upcoming anthology), had the fortuitous good fortune to choose this exact time to bring out his latest issue of RAMPIKE Magazine; an issue coincidentally devoted entirely to the musings of visual poetry, at that! So, in conjunction with this special exhibition featuring selections from The Last Vispo, Karl has very generously offered to bring a stack of the newly minted visual poetry issue of RAMPIKE to the reception to be given away free to all interested parties who attend this reception. So if you don't know what Vispo is, this exhibition of selections from The Last Vispo coupled with the latest issue of Rampike Magazine will certainly go a long way in furnishing a very concrete example for your edification, amusement and enjoyment !


Furthermore, (if poetry is not your thing and you're more easily given over to pursuits of the boogie woogie kind) local artist/musican KERO, featured on the cover of this issue of RAMPIKE, will provide his unique post-electronic musical stylings at some point during the course of the evening.


This, as with all Common Ground events, is FREE and OPEN to the public.

It would work like this: A member would enter a PDF document/article into the Vispoets Library. Then they would post a short statement inviting discussion of the content of their article on the discussion form. Other members who read the referenced article could post short responses on the discussion forum referencing articles of their own (these could be previously written or newly written articles/documents which they have entered into the Vispoets Library). The articles would be cataloged in the Library under the member's name and perhaps eventually also categorized in other ways. At one point, Stephen McCaffery had an on-line library like this housed at SUNY/Buffalo (North American Center for Interdisciplinary Poetics). There were some great articles on nacip.net which are no longer available on the internet. The problem in maintaining the NACIP website was reformatting documents for posting on the site. But if all documents are uploaded as PDF's , no reformatting is required because now days anyone can read or create a PDF with free software. (An Adobe Reader can be downloaded free. And The free word-processing program from OpenOffice.org can also be downloaded free--Open Office Writer can open almost any format of word-processing program and it has an option to export documents as a PDF file so members can create their own PDF's from any word-processing format and have complete control of the content, layout, etc. of their documents).

Right now, I have a 20+ page article I'd like to place in such a library. I'm believe it would generate discussion on Vispoets because it relates recent archeological discoveries to critical assessments of visual poetry--by virtue of its inherent relation to the visual foundations of the symbolic mind. This topic cannot be easily discussed under the current constraints of the Discussion Forum. Eventually Vispoets could have a library of PDF documents by members which could be made available to institutions such as university libraries, museum libraries, etc. This would be more useful than the Critical Texts Forum which is almost never updated--everything there is either a link to something posted on another website or a member must transfer the article to the text of a post in that forum (I didn't even realize the Critical Texts Section existed until today because it is never referenced in the General Discussion Forum and nothing new has been posted there since 2007--but the existing articles are good so check them out if you're like me and never noticed that section of the site).

Members who produce on-line visual poetry publications/magazines could also place PDF's of their publications in a Vispoets Library. We could also invite the authors of classic articles such as Stephen McCaffery's article on Para Poetics to send a PDF of the article for the Vispoets Library. Eventually, we might have to raise a little money or write a grant to buy more memory capacity for the website. But a website's presence on the internet grows in proportion to how large it becomes--and who accesses it. This means the Vispoets Gallery would also get more traffic and become more of a cultural force.

Members, would it be useful? Admins, is it practical?]]> Sat, 27 Feb 2010 22:27:21 +0000 http://vispoets.com/index.php?showtopic=26208 http://vispoets.com/index.php?showtopic=26197 Post deleted.
