.
Simon Barraclough, Two Sun Spots, P.O.W.
This Translation Game has been conceived specifically for the Special
Edition series at the Saison Poetry Library, Southbank Centre. Its
results will be presented on the evening of 5th March 2014 at the
Library.
This time we translate from poetry to film, scent and digital art and
then back to poetry. We have chosen five poems from Antonio Claudio
Carvalho?s concrete poetry magazine P.O.W.: Simon Barraclough?s ?two
sun spots?, Paul Brown?s ?cold?, Antonio Claudio Carvalho?s ?(the)
flesh of gods?, Mel Gooding?s ?sextet: improvisations?, and Chrissy
Williams?s ?murder she wrote?. We?ve invited filmmaker Anna Cady,
multimedia artist Sam Treadaway and digital artist Katja Knecht to
choose one of the five poems and translate it into their medium.
Each of them will present their translations on the evening of 5th
March and discuss the challenges and revelations of translating from
one medium (text) into another (fine arts).
The poet Steven Fowler will simultaneously translate the discussions
into live writing.
.
Each copy of P.O.W. is published on a fold-out poster. You can see
images of the 5 poster poems we have chosen for the game here
http://ricardavidal.com/test/translation-games/pow/ . We don?t know
yet which of the five each artist will choose ? that will only be
revealed at the event itself.
