Download or read book 0 to 9 written by Vito Acconci and published by Lost Literature. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published from 1967 to 1969 in seven limited mimeographed editions, "0 to 9" was edited by artist Vito Acconci and poet Bernadette Mayer. Seeking to explore the relationship between language and the page, Mayer and Acconci brought together the pioneers of 1960s experimental poetry and conceptual art. Sol LeWitt, Adrian Piper, Dan Graham, Ted Berrigan, Clark Coolidge, Robert Barry, Les Levine, Robert Smithson, Hannah Weiner, Emmett Williams, Dick Higgins, Yvonne Rainer, Aram Saroyan, Bernar Venet, Alan Sondheim and the editors themselves are but a few of the artists and writers who appeared in "0 to 9."~When considered as a whole, the chronological development of "0 to 9" provides a key understanding to, and perhaps the only exhaustive investigation of, the interstices between the concept-driven poetry of the late 60s and the pioneering formation of conceptual art. "0 to 9" was the first to publish the works of Dan Graham and Adrian Piper, as well as Sol LeWitt's "Sentences on Conceptual Art" and Jackson Mac Low's first poem series governed by chance operations, the "Biblical Poems."~"0 to 9: The Complete Magazine, 1967-1969" collects early works by more than 70 renowned artists and poets and provides a glimpse into the poetics of Vito Acconci.

Book excerpt: A critical study of the use of language and the proliferation of text in 1960s art and experimental music, with close examinations of works by Vito Acconci, Carl Andre, John Cage, Douglas Huebler, Andy Warhol, Lawrence Weiner, La Monte Young, and others. Language has been a primary element in visual art since the 1960s—in the form of printed texts, painted signs, words on the wall, recorded speech, and more. In Words to Be Looked At, Liz Kotz traces this practice to its beginnings, examining works of visual art, poetry, and experimental music created in and around New York City from 1958 to 1968. In many of these works, language has been reduced to an object nearly emptied of meaning. Robert Smithson described a 1967 exhibition at the Dwan Gallery as consisting of “Language to be Looked at and/or Things to be Read.” Kotz considers the paradox of artists living in a time of social upheaval who use words but chose not to make statements with them. Kotz traces the proliferation of text in 1960s art to the use of words in musical notation and short performance scores. She makes two works the “bookends” of her study: the “text score” for John Cage's legendary 1952 work 4'33”—written instructions directing a performer to remain silent during three arbitrarily determined time brackets—and Andy Warhol's notorious a: a novel—twenty-four hours of endless talk, taped and transcribed—published by Grove Press in 1968. Examining works by artists and poets including Vito Acconci, Carl Andre, George Brecht, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth, Jackson Mac Low, and Lawrence Weiner, Kotz argues that the turn to language in 1960s art was a reaction to the development of new recording and transmission media: words took on a new materiality and urgency in the face of magnetic sound, videotape, and other emerging electronic technologies. Words to Be Looked At is generously illustrated, with images of many important and influential but little-known works.

Download or read book Coffee Coffee written by Aram Saroyan and published by . This book was released on 2010-02-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aram Saroyan's "minimal" poems of the 1960s demonstrated a completely unprecedented handling of words--often single words--that combined astounding economy with palpable textural warmth. Untitled poems that read in their entirety "eyeye" and "lobstee" evinced a pleasure in words that everybody could recognize--except Senator Jesse Helms, who publicly objected to Saroyan's poem "lighght" when its author received an NEA award--but which nobody else (except perhaps Gertrude Stein) had quite nailed until Aram Saroyan came along. In every one of Saroyan's page acts, the sound of typewriter keys inscribing blank paper are as audible to the mind's ear as the words themselves. Coffee Coffee was published as a mimeograph edition by Vito Acconci and Bernadette Mayer's 0 To 9 imprint in 1967, and was one of Saroyan's earliest collections, containing such gems as "guarantee," "added" and "rinse." Acconci has since recorded his admiration for these works: "In the late sixties, when I called myself a poet, Aram was the poet I envied."
