All Avant-Garde All The Time – UbuWeb Podcast #2:
Produced by The Poetry Foundation, UbuWeb is pleased to announce the second in its
podcast series, focusing on Ubu’s hidden treasures. As the site has grown so large, these
occasional audio guides might shed some light on things you may have overlooked,
forgotten about or simply never knew about. This podcast explores the mass of recordings
by Giorno Poetry Systems (aka The Dial-A-Poem Poets), a series of double LPs put out back
in the 70s featuring artists such as Patti Smith, Laurie Anderson, Philip Glass, Meredith
Monk, John Cage, Richard Hell, Frank O’Hara and hundreds of others. [listen] UbuWeb’s
first podcast, a general introduction to the site and to sound poetry, can be found here.
You can subscribe to our podcast here. The next one, focusing on the audio archives of
Aspen Magazine, will be ready in mid-January.

Komar & Melamid “The People’s Choice Music” (1997) With the collaboration of composer
Dave Soldier, Komar & Melamid’s Most Wanted Painting project was extended into the realm
of music. A poll, written by Dave Soldier, was conducted on The Dia Foundation’s web site
in Spring 1996. Approximately 500 visitors took the survey. Solder used the survey
results to write music and lyrics for the Most Wanted and Most Unwanted songs.

Four Films by Gordon Matta-Clark: Includes Tree Dance (1971), Fresh Kill (1972), Day’s
End (1975) and Office Baroque (1977). Gordon Matta-Clark’ s (1943-1978) artistic project
was a radical investigation of architecture, deconstruction, space, and urban
environments. Dating from 1971 to 1977, his most prolific and vital period, his film and
video works include documents of major pieces in New York, Paris and Antwerp, and are
focused on three areas: performances and recycling pieces; space and texture works; and
his building cuts.

Audio Selections from The Sackner Archive: Hundreds of MP3s ripped from rare sound poetry
LPs, tapes & 45 RPM vinyl. The Ruth & Mqrvin Sackner Archive of Visual & Concrete Poetry
in Miami Beach is the world’s largest collection of text-based art. Of the audio files
here, curator Matthew Abess states: “The work presented here comprises a portion of the
Sackner’s tremendous compendium of sonic works. The range of geographic origins runs the
circumference of the globe. The time span is nearly a century. It witnesses histories: of
poetry, literature, music, visual art, technology, politics, religion, theoretical
contentions and practical abstention.” Artists include John Cage, Merzbow, Anton Bruhin,
Laurie Anderson, Bob Cobbing, Lily Greenham, Velemir Chlebnikov, Aleksej Krucenych and
Jean Jacques Lebel among dozens of others. UbuWeb is also pleased to feature a
full-length documentary about the Sackner Archive, Concrete! directed by Sara Sackner.

Five Films by Jonas Mekas Mekas, born 1922, is considered by many to be the godfather of
American avant-garde cinema. Presented here are Happy Birthday to John (1972), a film
record of John Lennon’s 32nd birthday party; Zefiro Torna or Scenes from the Life of
George Maciunas (1992), a video diary of Fluxus founder George Maciunas; and Scenes from
Allen’s Last Three Days on Earth as a Spirit (1997), a video diary of Ginsberg in the
days immediately before and after his death. Also included is a short, Hare Krishna
(1966), with a soundtrack by Ginsberg.

Make Perhaps This Out Sense Of Can You: Bob Cobbing (1920-2002) A celebration
highlighting the works of Cobbing on UbuWeb: films, sounds, writings, interviews and
critical writing about him [PDF]. As curator Matthew Abess writes, “Cobbing was an
assiduous innovator in the sphere of language. Alternately a landscape gardener, farmer,
steward’s clerk at a hospital, and teacher of Esperanto, Cobbing fluidly traversed
dissimilar vocations with the same dexterity apparent in his boundary-dissolving
performances with and of the plasticity of the word. When asked about the development of
his intermedia praxis, Cobbing remarked, ‘I commenced as a painter; later wrote poetry;
studied music; began to realize all three were one activity (together with dancing, which
is, perhaps, the key to them all).” This UbuWeb resource is presented in conjunction with
the exhibition of the same name at the University of Pennsylvania’ s Van Pelt Library, The
Ruth & Marvin Sackner Archive of Visual and Concrete Poetry and the Kelly Writers House
at UPenn, where Suddenly Everyone Began Reading Aloud, a tribute to Cobbing took place
October 11th featuring the poets Charles Bernstein, chris cheek and Maggie O’Sullivan.

Salvador Dali – Impressions de la Haute Mongolie – Hommage á Raymond Roussel (1974-1975)
Salvador Dalí’s romance with film and the visual arts is a relatively well-known chapter
in the life of the original and controversial Spanish (Catalan) artist (1904-1989).
However, his explorations of video art with the production of the “documentary”
Impressions de la haute Mongolie. Hommage a Raymond Roussel (1974-75) remain an episode
of his long and successful creative career only acknowledged by the specialist. The
“videografía” , narrates the exploration of Dalí to the remote land of Mongolia in search
of the Great White Mushroom. Salvador Dalí, a consummate expert in media manipulation,
invites the spectator to become his accomplice and partner in what it seems a
drug-induced “trip” to a faraway and distant land where wonderful treasures are hidden.
By means of advanced technology in film and the visual arts of the time (video,
electronics, macro photography) , Dalí strives to reveal optically the metamorphoses of
matter with the purpose of revealing a new artistic reality.
