Descripción

Paris: self-published, 1966. Square quarto (27 × 26 cm). Thread-stitched sections in original printed folder; [72] pp. With numerous mounted and separately laid-in multiples and graphics: one original graphic, two folded graphically designed plates, four enclosed plates of concrete poetry, eight enclosed typographically designed pages (unopened section), two mounted envelopes with ten printed small cards each by Ben Vautier, and one vinyl record with recordings by Raul Hausmann (poèmes phonétiques 1918), Bernard Heidsieck, and Henri Chopin. Folder with signs of use; edges of the folder slightly damaged; else good or better. Single issue of the rare avant-garde journal, which Henri Chopin edited, published, and partly produced in his own home. Influenced by the Dadaists, Chopin, unlike the Lettrists, was not only interested in pictorial poetry, but above all in tonal poetry. Lettrism did not go far enough for him in terms of the dissolution of linguistic conventions and the use of new media. In 1958, he took over the editorship of the conventional poetry magazine ?Cinquième Saison?, in which he published early reflections on phonetic poetry. The last issue under this title contained a record and, among other things, the poet René Ghil's prophecy: ?In 50 years, the poet will be operating phonetic machines.? Number 20/21 was then published under the new title ?OU? This underlined the radical change in the journal, which from then on resembled ?multimedia compendia? or ?poetic wonder bags? (Marc Matter) filled with loose leaves, screen prints, posters, fanfolds, relief images, typographic collages, sometimes even three-dimensional objects and regularly a record. In this way, Dadaism, Futurism, Ultra-Lettrism, Fluxus, Concrete Poetry, etc. were mixed together. Chopin consistently self-published the elaborate journal for ten years. He and his wife worked endlessly at home to put together the individual issues and sent them out all over the world. (Cf.
