The End...da cui cenere e inizio , 1988

 Item
Identifier: CC-31766-33279
Scope and Contents This painting was reproduced and described in the Italian periodicals, Demetra No.4, 1993 and Carte D'Arte No.1, 1992. Vira Fabra (wife of Ignazio Apolloni) writes in 2011: Will Anna Guillot's work - of which many have dealt exhaustively - be ATARAXIC TIME? And Miccini (what to write after him) who places Socrates and Lacan on the chessboard for a "serious game". A symptom? Further excavations are almost impossible if not for erroneously ludic purposes. Therefore, "What to do?" Joke, speak and not tell, remain silent and be a gardener in a convent, albeit for a short time, like Wittgenstein? Repeat and reflect on the anxieties of Gabriel Marcel, namely on the "questions of life" to which Savater leads to? On what presupposes large contradictions? On the triangle of Ogden and Richards?

The Georgous Nothings / Dickinson, Emily ; Werner M ; Bervin J ; Clay S ; Howe S., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-59715-10002773
Scope and Contents Amazon.com: These pieces are highly condensed art, thought in motion, playful, provocative, engaging, rich. The photo reproductions let you see not only how Dickinson adapted to the spaces of these texts but how she did so intentionally. This is concrete poetry avant la lettre, wonderful, powerful, meditative, and profound. This is a gorgeous book and well worth your attention. The people who put it together have superb editorial and artistic sensibility, and the book takes one so close to Dickinson's modes of thinking and composition that it practically brings shivers. Having spent some time in archives, seeing some of the sketchings of words and images on cards and all sorts of paper, of Charles Olson and David Jones, I think there is something quite opening (to the mind and sensibilities) about such encounters.
