Pictures to be Read / Poetry to be Seen








[Various Artists]
Pictures to be Read / Poetry to be Seen
Chicago, USA: Museum of Contemporary Art, 1967
36 pp., 23 x 21.5 cm., softcover
Edition size unknown


An exhibition catalogue for a group show held at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art from October 24th to December 3rd, 1967. Curated by Jan van der Marck, the exhibition featured works by Shusaku Arakawa, Gianfranco Baruchello, Mary Bauermeister, George Brecht, Öyvind Fahlström, Ray Johnson, Allan Kaprow, R. B. Kitaj, Alison Knowles, James Nutt, Gianni-Emilio Simonetti, and Wolf Vostell. 

The title suggests the show might feature concrete poetry and works that blurred boundaries between genres, but it was appears to be primarily works by Fluxus artists and associates. The exhibition features Alison Knowles now-classic The Big Book, a bookwork large enough to climb into, with the pages on casters (see below). 

A PDF of the catalogue can be downloaded from monoskop, here.


A second 'catalogue' of objects was also released. See next post.
