Vienna Art Week Lecture: More Than Just Words—Experimental Poetry and Visual Art

Vanessa Joan Müller, curator and author

The visualization of writing has been a defining element of art since the beginning of the 20th century. The performative arts later activated the tonal dimension of poetic language and showcased linguistic excess. This lecture explains how experimental poetry expands from the book into three-dimensional space, freeing language from effective significance and supplying its own semantically innovative letters and words.
