This is a periodical-catalog of the IV International Biennial of Visual/Experimental Poetry, held in October and November 1993 in Mexico City, using the stations of the capital's metro (Sistema de Transporte Colectivo) as exhibition space, with a potential reach of four million daily ”metronauts”. The edition included more than one hundred authors from various countries in the international section, and thirty to forty Mexican installation artists in the national section, distributed across fifteen metro stations. It also included a video festival and video poetry and video art performances. The Biennial was organized by the civil association Poesía Vixual - México/Internacional, AC, created precisely for the occasion to institutionalize the event. Its general coordinator was César Horacio Espinosa, a central figure in Mexican experimental visual poetry since the first biennial in the series, in 1985. The Mexican section, designated ”Actual 5,” was a tribute to the Mexican Stridentist movement, on the seventieth anniversary of its first collective manifesto (1923), resuming the designation of the group's manifestos – the most recent of which, ”Actual No. 4,” dated from 1923. The biennial developed in conjunction with the research project ”Formas PIAS en México (del Estridentismo a nuestros días), ” coordinated by the artist and researcher Maris Bustamante, and was part of the II Month of Performance in Mexico, with the participation of Guillermo Gómez-Peña. The graphic design, including the cover with its evocation of the metro lines and the Mexican eagle, was the responsibility of César Martínez and Miguel Ángel Corona, the latter also the author of the title page. An archival document of interest to the history of visual and experimental poetry in Latin America. Unusual. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
