i received my courtesy copy of this beautiful imago mundi book from the luciano benetton collection:

»visual poetry in europe«

a special collection, curated by the poet and artist sarenco, that constitutes an original thematic digression from imago mundi’s traditional geographic groupings: 210 works by european artists and an extraordinary movement which, from the great futurist revolution and its first appearance in the 1950s, continues to question the privilege granted to the exclusively verbal aspect of language. concentrated in the 10x12 cm format, the radiance of the text-image, instead of being diminished by the miniature form, appears to undergo a revival, driven by the imagination of the artists opening themselves to new spaces of iconic-poetic symbolism.
