Description

In the volume L’immagine della scrittura: Gruppo 70, poesia visuale e ricerche verbo-visive (The Image of Writing: Gruppo 70, Visual Poetry and Verbal-Visual Investigations) Giorgio Zanchetti analyzes, in the text entitled “A contradiction gathered from dictionaries. Visual Poetry and other verbo-visual researches in Italy,” the role of writing in art, while the essay by Barbara Casavecchia explores the emblematic figure of Ketty La Rocca and the positions of a series of women artists in the relationship between body and poetry (“1966 and environs: ragazze squillo, riot grrrls in evolution, poetry and missing language. Ketty La Rocca, Lucia Marcucci, Giulia Niccolai”). The book concludes with the contribution of Alberto Salvadori on the episodes in which the Florentine artists of Gruppo 70 were protagonists (“Florence, Gruppo 70”).
