Regina Di, 1994

 Item — Box 334: [Barcode: 31858072491032]
Identifier: CC-41963-43959
Scope and Contents Obituary (The independent July 15, 1995 by Tom Raworth): The Swiss-Italian artist and writer Franco Beltrametti )1937-1995) published over 30 books and pamphlets of poetry, prose, collaborations and translations, in several languages and countries; and had a similar number of solo and group exhibitions of his graphic works. Those will last however long words and objects do; but his existence as catalyst, connector and correspondent is gone for ever. He was a personal link between such disparate traditions as American beat - and New York school - poetry; the Fluxus group of artists; the European avant-garde; the music of Steve Lacy, Joelle Leandre and Nino Locatelli; the Italian revolutionary left; and Japanese Zen Buddhism.With Gianantonio Pozzi (whom he met in Sicily) he organised P77 - a small poetry festival in Venice which, the following year, 1978, was transferred to Amsterdam to expand and become the regular "One World Poetry".

Renshi 2000-02 / Fujitomi, Yasuo ; Hiroo, Kamimura ; Shutaro, Mukai ; Takahashi, Shohachiro ; Dencker, Klaus-Peter ; Ito, Motoyuki., 2002

 Item
Identifier: CC-40944-42922
Scope and Contents The RENSHI reproduced in this book are a modern form of RENGA, a group of HAIKU-LIKE verses linked in any one of several special ways. It is usually written by two or more poets who take turns writing the verses. In classical RENGA, 3-line and 2-line verses are alternated, beginning with a 3-line verse (a hokku, usually approximating 5-7-5 syllables) resembling haiku and indicating a season. A second poet composes the following verse (2 lines approximating 7-7), linking it by one of several methods (not too obviously, please) with the first. The next verse (of 3 lines), composed by the first poet (in a 2-person renga) or by another (in renga written by more than 2 poets), links with the second but not with the first. Traditionally, each verse employs a season word, most especially the ones requiring reference to autumn, moon, flower, etc. Season words are words usually associated with one season more than another (blossom = spring; snow = winter; baseball = summer, harvest =...

Retrospective Triptych with Drawers / Genevieve Seille., 1991

 Item
Identifier: CC-02632-2675
Scope and Contents

This complex sculpture is composed of three sections hinged together resembling an alter piece. The two lateral elements contain hand drawn, collaged wooden pieces inserted on the front edges that can be pulled forward with a string. The entire work, front and back, is covered with Seille's unique handwriting and line drawings on paper collaged onto the wooden structure. The wooden base is actually the shipping crate Seille made and used to send the triptych to the Sackner Archive. The interior base is collaged with an original drawing, and the crate is so beautifully crafted that it serves perfectly as a base for the sculpture. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
