Description
In 1965, Japanese Fluxus artist Mieko Shiomi began to work with a mailing list provided by fellow Fluxus artist George Maciunas, assigning recipients a language-based prompt for a poetic event, or “action poem.” Shiomi collected responses, via mail, from participants including Maciunas, Alison Knowles, Akira Sakaguchi, Brion Gysin, John Cage, Carolee Schneemann, and Nam June Paik, among many others. Spatial Poem presents this intricate network of avant-garde poetics, preserving the ephemeral “action poems” that resulted.
