Millbank, London SW1P 4RG
Free admission
In Celebration of Typography is a new book about about typography in books,
art, and poetry.
TATE BRITAIN is marking the 60th anniversary of Between Poetry and
Painting, a landmark exhibition held in 1965 at the Institute of
Contemporary Arts, the first London show dedicated to concrete poetry.
Concrete poetry was an international literary movement that started in the
1950s influenced by Constructivism and Concrete art, and characterised for
privileging the visual, particularly typographical, arrangement of words
over more traditional elements of the poem. During the 1960s, many visual
artists adopted concrete poetry and incorporated it into art practice, with
Britain as one of its international centres.
The publication has been edited by British art critic and curator Jasia
Reichardt, and includes contributions by Stephen Bann, Bronać Ferran, Piet
Gerards, Gustavo Grandal Montero, Hansjörg Mayer, Emily McVarish and Piotr
Rypson, as well as a reprint of the original catalogue.
The event will feature a panel discussion chaired by David Morris (at
15.00) with Reichardt and many of the contributors to the book, and a show
and share display of rare concrete poetry publications from Tate Library's
collection.
