Geiger

Maurizio Spatola, ed.

Geiger

no. 3.

Edizioni Geiger,

1969

The magazine was sometimes subtitled “Antologie Ipersperimentale” (or “hyper-experimental anthology”) and drew on its sibling-editors’ interests in the combined worlds of language and performance. Adriano Spatola elaborated a theory of “Total Poetry” akin to Dick Higgins’ concept of “intermedia,” or a fusing of art forms including performance, music, painting, and poetry. Many of the individual artists’ contributions are signed. Contributors include Julien Blaine, Jiri Voloch Maurizio Nannucci, and Franco Vaccari, among many others.
