Item description from seller

Artist's book of Concrete Poetry. GrOnk series 4: n.1. David UU, or David W. Harris, (1948–1994) was an accomplished concrete and experimental poet and an important small press publisher.

He also composed sound works (both musical & textual), made 8mm short films, was a master collagist/montagist and performed in numerous performance art exhibitions. Book with text for sound poetry by Uu. 29 sheets stapled, loosely contained within an outer red card wrapper featuring a photo-collage on the front and a photo of a human skeleton on the back. This issue is devoted to "Motion/Pictures" by David UU, illustrated with full-page images of the author printed in red and repeated throughout. [29] sheets; 22x28 cm. Staple bound.

The bibliographic research already carried out by the Studio Bibliografico offers confirmation of the importance of this area and of the fact that the entire history of modern publishing continues to offer immense research potential in all areas, covering original texts, exhibition catalogues, specialist magazines and in particular artists' books, that fertile terrain which encouraged the meeting and cross- fertilisation of many different art forms.…
