In the tradition of concrete poetry and Fluxus: visual poems and more from Brazilian artist and poet Alex Hamburger
Drawing from notions of “bad poetry” as the critical undoing of normative taste, Antilogy brings together works by the Brazilian artist and poet Alex Hamburger. Central to Hamburger’s practice and engagement with poetry is a focus on writing as the expression of a performative disruption and playful reworking of semiotic systems. With references to Fluxus intermediality, Brazilian concretism, experimental music and sound poetry, Hamburger’s work dynamically collapses the distinctions between fact and fiction, theory and performance, system and noise. From visual poems to abstract narrative to personal fantasy, Antilogy reminds us about the potent sense of refusal and experimentation that all art should carry.
