VISUELLE Poesie. Gotha. 1990. - VISUELLE Poesie . Schloss Friedenstein / Westturm, 29. September bis 17. November 1990. Gotha: Museen der Stadt Gotha, 1990. [18] ff.: il.; 210 mm. Catalogue of the visual poetry exhibition held at the Westturm of Schloss Friedenstein, in Gotha, between September 29 and November 17, 1990, featuring works by artists from various countries. The exhibition was part of a systematic program by the Museen der Stadt Gotha to present the avant-garde artistic currents of the 20th century to an audience that had previously had limited access to these manifestations. The preface underlines the vocation of visual poetry to merge text and image, word and figure, using a quote from Dick Higgins and Erhard Kästner. The Portuguese presence in the catalogue is part of the intense activity of disseminating Portuguese experimental poetry in Germany, spearheaded by Fernando Aguiar, who in that same year organized the anthology Visuelle Poesie aus Portugal for the ”experimentelle texte” collection of Siegfried Schmidt and Karl Riha, in Siegen.
