VORTEX³: Gráfica Experimental & Poesía Visual. Buenos Aires. 1998. - VORTEX³: Gráfica Experimental & Poesía Visual . N. 4 (Set 1998). Buenos Aires: Vortice / Juan C. Romero, 1998. 1 ff.: il.; 580×410 mm. Issue 4 (September 1998) of Vortex³ , an Argentinian publication of experimental visual and graphic poetry in a large, single-sheet format, published in Buenos Aires by Vortice and Juan Carlos Romero. The publication functions as a mail art platform: a project open to all artists, with no closing date, no return of works, distributed through the ”Vortice Mail Art Project” and with international circulation. The sheet brings together contributions from artists from eight countries - Argentina, Spain, Italy, Cuba, United States, Germany - each with the author's postal identification. Among the identified contributors are Ibirico (Alcorcón, Spain) - the same editor of the MAE Cultural bulletin -, Pedro Juan Gutiérrez (Havana), Giovanni Strada (Ravenna), Géza Perneczky (Cologne), one of the most important theorists and critics of European mail art, John M. Bennett (Columbus, Ohio) and Hemi Mittendorf (Frankfurt). Henry Miller's epigraph – ”...to be civilized is to have complicated needs...” – sets the tone for the publication. An ephemeral document of interest to the history of visual poetry and Argentine and international mail art of the 1990s. Unusual. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
