Book Description

A collaboration with FALKNER for the Klang Farben Text performance at the Lyrik Kabinett.

 

The concertina book was created and designed during the three days of the collaboration and performed as part of the event. Copies of it are in the collection of the Poetry Library London, and the Lyrik Kabinett, Munich. It contains the text from MANIFEST 55 and the diacritic marks indicating how the piece is to be performed.

 

Klang Farben Text, was a collaborative event of visual poetry at the Lyrik Kabinett in Munich. Organised by Chris McCabe and Steven J Fowler, ‘Klang Farben Text was a unique, one of a kind, three-day visual poetry festival of performance and exhibition inspired by the international concrete poetry movement of the 1950s and 60s. The project celebrated how that movement has impacted a new generation of poets and artists by engaging a dozen of the UK and Germany’s most dynamic visual poets, key to the contemporary European scene. The printed word was transformed into collaboration, recitation, film and performance, demonstrating how concrete poetry has transcended beyond the book and printing press into an experiential art form for the 21st Century’.
