Apianus 2 / Carlos Macia., 1990

Item

Identifier: CC-06434-6552

Scope and Contents

Petrus Apianus was a German, Renaissance astronomer and astrologer born 1501. Apianus 2 is based upon his book "Astronomicum Caesarem," 1540. It mixed mathematics, geography, astronony, astrology, cartography and theology in order to prepare horoscopes and predictions. Its validity was criticised by Kepler, which he considered "nothing more than what exists in the mind of man." Macia made this book in homage to the imagination which is "free to invent as many universes as there are created." This work was exhibited at the Agnes Scott College Gallery, Atlanta, January 2001. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents This issue includes a Glyn Pursglove's essay, "An Introduction to Concrete Poetry." He states "The phrase 'Concrete Poetry' is bandied about a great deal in a way which seems to suggest that all those to whom it is applied are part of a conscious, united movement, and that they are artists whose work is dictated by a set of common and explicit principles. As anyone with any understanding of artistic 'movements' will readily imagine, this is a superficial and misleading idea. Certainly there have been plenty of explicit statements by some of the poets involved but these have, naturally, attracted as many opponents as supporters. One of the most important of such statements was 'POSITION 1 of International (Movement) for Spatial Poetries" organised by, among others, Pierre Gamier. This was not quite a manifesto, in the sense of a document proclaiming plans for the future, but rather a formalisation of a situation. Gamier was fully conscious of the difficulties, and his closing words...

Scope and Contents Internet: Robert Zend (1929-1985) was a Poet, Philosopher, Multi-media artist. A published author in his homeland of Hungary by 1956, he fled to North America during the communist takeover.
