    Waldemar Cordeiro & Franz Mon, Ludlow 38 & Spector Books The publication presents selected works from two pioneers of Concrete Art and Poetry, Waldemar Cordeiro (1925-1973) from Brazil and Franz Mon (1926) from Germany. The exhibited pieces reach from the mid-1960’s to the present and combine sculpture, collage, and computer printouts with typewriter text and sound work. With a mutual interest in the deconstruction of the photographic image, language and typography, the work of both artists oftentimes follows rigid concepts. Attributes of Concrete Art such as the structural focus on materials and processes, the appropriation of constructivist language, and the search for the general reduction of expressive means emanate from their practice. Logic and rationality became a founding principle of The Ruptura Group, which Cordeiro was involved with in the São Paulo of the 1950’s. Similar characteristics can also be found in the work of Mon who says that “Concrete Poetry for me is poetry of principles, there is a principle you invent and then you carry that through, whatever happens.” Differences and analogies epitomize the engaged and experimental approach to art that reflects the two artists interest in the development of technology, politics and civil society during the second half of the XX and the early XXI century.

    Guys.

    It’s a book mark that marks your spot in the book.

    I get not being able to remember the exact page number but not knowing where you left off on the page? Tsk tsk

    Wait a second. Do people actually stop reading in the middle of a page? If I stop reading in the middle of a page it’s because I’ve suddenly realized it’s my subway stop or someone has called me or my doorbell is ringing. I certainly don’t have time to strap a bookmark into my book and line up a rubbery index finger.

    If there are people who stop reading right in the middle of a page, I would like to know those people. I bet they have exciting personalities!
