"Only the curve remains", a poetic evening with Carla Demierre, Alain Freudiger, Gilles Furtwängler and Wanda Obertova; within an installation by Ohad Ben Shimon and Manuela Cossalter & with a contribution by mathematician Anders Karlsson.
On the occasion of the Printemps de la Poésie 2018, one gee in fog is pleased to host "only the curve remains", an evening dedicated to poetic language in the digital era, taking place within an installation conceived by artists Ohad Ben Shimon and Manuela Cossalter.
Each of the four invited poets will perform her/his own poetic production, sprouting from and revolving around specific aspects of the digital realm: from networks to language, from the notions of presence and absence to the concepts of modelisation, of capture, etc.
Carla Demierre, Alain Freudiger, Gilles Furtwängler and Wanda Obertova come from three fields nourishing contemporary poetry: literature, visual/performative arts, and music. This diversity of their approaches finds its common denominator in an experimental way of working with voice, tone, breath and spoken word.
After the poetic evening "only the curve remains", the installation concieved by Ohad Ben Shimon and Manuela Cossalter will remain at one gee in fog until April 19, turning the exhibition space into a reading room, where a selection of texts and poems by Demierre, Freudiger, Furtwängler and Obertova, with the textual contribution by Anders Karlsson, will be available for consultation.
Opening: 22.3.18 18:00
(Open on appointment)
