[COOPERATIVA DE ARTISTAS DE NATAL]. A ARTE É A DIMENSÃO ANÁRQUICA DA Matéria Onírica. Natal (Rio Grande do Norte). 1984. - [COOPERATIVA DE ARTISTAS DE NATAL] A ARTE É A DIMENSÃO ANÁRQUICA DA Matéria Onírica . Natal, 14-03-1984. Dia Nacional da Poesia. Natal (Rio Grande do Norte): Cooperativa de Artistas de Natal, 1984. 1 ff.; 215×145 mm. This ephemeral document was produced for National Poetry Day, celebrated on March 14, 1984, in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The date, which corresponds to the birth anniversary of the poet Castro Alves, was in this context associated with the memory of Glauber Rocha (Vitória da Conquista, March 14, 1939 – Rio de Janeiro, August 22, 1981), whose name begins the manifesto-poem: ”glauber, 14-03-39...”. The text, of a protest nature, mixes poetic register and cultural proclamation, articulating concepts of freedom, ”collective khaos, ” and ”Atlantic culture” in a style that reflects the counterculture and marginal Brazilian poetry of the 1970s and 80s. The piece was produced by the Natal Artists Cooperative with support from the Contemporary Art Center of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (NAC/UFRN) and its newly created Multimedia Sector. This sector was founded in 1983 by Jota Medeiros (João Pessoa, 1958), a visual artist and poet, a central figure in the mail art network in northeastern Brazil and primarily responsible for Natal's inclusion in international networks of contemporary experimental art. In its first year, the Sector promoted exhibitions and debates on video art, mail art, xerox art, and computer art. An ephemeral document of historical and archival interest, bearing witness to the experimental artistic activity of northeastern Brazil in the context of redemocratization.
