Mérida / Granada: Artes Gráficas Boysu, S.L. (postais 2, 4, 5) / s.n. (postais 1, 3, 6), 1984-2002. 6 postais; impressão offset; 150×110 mm. A collection of six postcards of visual poetry and mail art by Antonio Gómez García (Mérida, Extremadura, 1942), a self-taught Spanish visual and experimental poet, active since the 1970s in the context of experimental poetry and Iberian and international mail art. Since 1982 he has coordinated and edited collective visual poetry projects - Las hojas parroquiales de Alcandoria , Arco Iris , La Centena , La Pirámide , Píntalo de Verde , 3 x 3 - and has collaborated with the main international mail art networks. The six postcards cover a chronological arc of almost twenty years (1984-2002) and document the main lines of his production: the photographic poem-object (”Para Pintar el Arco Iris”, ”Poema Objeto”), in which everyday objects are photographed in compositions of double meaning; the literary quotation as a visual gesture (”Homenaje a Jean Cocteau”, with the word ”opium” integrated into an image of poppies, and an autograph quotation from Cocteau: ”El opio ha fumado siempre el opio. Solo España espera”); the found object and intervention on symbols (”Bandera a la Española”, Spanish flag embroidered on a matchstick); and the sound recording as material (”Diálogo”, unrolled cassette). The sixth postcard is an invitation to the exhibition Verdades a Medias (Escuela de Arte de Granada, 2002), which included a projection of experimental poems and the action-poem ”Golpe sobre gripe (Soneto a martillazos)”.
