DISTANT LANGUAGES, REAL AND IMAGINED
—> Break Out Room 5 <—
Pierre Joris and Jerome Rothenberg will engage in a big time
presentation/performance of the many ways in which poets & artists
have drawn from distant languages & traditions or have invented or
pretended to invent new languages so as to escape the tyranny of the
old. Along with their own performance of a range of poetic &
ethnopoetic works, there will be a mining of audio & visual archives,
to bring into the mix the actual voices & visions of artists such as
Schwitters, Artaud, Schwerner, Cobbing, Chopin, & assorted
glossolaliacs & chanters from the centers & margins of our world.
