Crg Hill's poetry scorecard

Seattle, November 1: Sound Poetry Performance

Sound Poetry Performance

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2012
5:30PM - 6:30PM

Jason Conger / The Four Hoarse Men / Interrupture / Kjell Hansen

Jason Conger presents a night of sound poems, simultaneous poems, and polyvocal compositions. Readers explore the art of sound poetry as practiced by historical avant-gardes such as the futurist and dada movements, for whom the form represented a convergence of literary and musical composition in which meaning is subservient to the materiality of language. Performances explore the sonic, acoustic, and non-semantic potentials of individual and group readings. Expect growls, groans and guffaws.

Featuring Interrupture, Four Hoarse Men, and a vocal rendering of Kjell Hansen’s installation art.

An anthology

is a representation of the editors contextualization of an in-motion (speed may vary) phenomena. The process comes with built-in problems--sampling size and publication capacity. It's an imperfect attempt to formulate a perfect accounting of a momentum that won't hold still for its reckoning. Damn moving targets.

The richness and depth of older books is universally respected yet often undiscovered as users need a quicker, slicker bite of information. The book’s intended function has decreased. Its relevance is still vital but the content stays sedentary and the form remains linear in a non-linear world. We are left with raw material.   In my upcoming show for MOCA GA I continue to question the past, present and future of the book by exploring and expanding possibilities and perspectives of the book’s form and its content. In this show iconic forms and symbols from early childhood education are deconstructed and represented in new ways. Encyclopedia sets merge to form tall towers and pixilated patterns as the symbols and ideas from the past are broken down to basic elements. Long rows of paperbacks are compressed and sanded into solid wooden forms. Books on games reveal new matrices as a result of strategy and chance. A chart inspired by a thesaurus follows thousands of potential paths of meaning that spring from a single word. Images of state flags are dissected and reconstructed to present a new vocabulary about locality from existing symbols of authority. Authoritative materials and images adapt to amplify their own physicality while raising questions about their own internal meaning and the structures they rely on to communicate. In the past, ideas were recorded and saved in solid forms but in today’s intangible world we may be left with nothing. Foundations are threatened and history is lost as formats change and structures erode. We are at a pivotal moment as the monopoly of the book breaks down and elementary concepts and symbols are losing their traditional forms to be reformatted for the future.   ABOUT Brian Dettmer Brian Dettmer is known for his detailed and innovative sculptures with books and other forms of analog media.
