Scope and Contents
This is a page from the manuscript for the only typewritten, concrete poetry book published in South Africa. Boshoff achieved optical effects by weighting the density of typewritten letters in different portions of the poem through overtyping and creating diagonals by placement of the same letter in that direction. Includes an optical effects poem in a circular shape achieved by formating typewritten fragments in the manner of Houedard. Missing page 87. This work was purchased from Tony Zwicker after the Sackners met Boshoff in 1996 in Zwicker's Grammercy Park loft. It was exhibited at Miami Art Museum during the Global Conceptualism show. Boshoff in "word forms and language shapes 1975 - 2007" writes the following: The first edition of this work is an anthology of concrete poetry published by Uitgewery Pannevis, which was founded by Markus de Jong. During its short existence it focused on printing alternative Afrikaans literature. The book comprises black and white reproductions...

Scope and Contents
In Boshoff's exhibition "Epat" at Michael Stevenson's gallery in Cape Town, South Africa, Kykafrikaans was presented as a recording (present dvd). In its original forms, the poems were a series of unique typed scripto-visual pages as well as an edition of screenprints. Boshoff intended that they should be performed in order to give affective scope to the acoustic potential of the original work. Until 2006, this aspect of Kykafrikaans remained largely informal. Professional recordings of the readings of selected poems from Kykafrikaans were produced between 2006 and 2007 at the Wounded Buffalo studios in Johannesburg. The nearly 30 recordings deploy the voices of Marcel van Heerden, Jane Rademeyer, Lochner de Kock, Hermien de Vos and Boshoff himself. On entering the sparse white space of the installation of Michael Stevenson's gallery within the larger Epat exhibition, the scripto-visual images of Kykafrikaans were projected onto a screen. The appropriate recording accompanies each...
