The Glasgow School of Art Library has a wonderful website, called The Hatchery, where staff document the artists and artworks that have been inspired by physical and digital library resources. Once a month we’ll repost a Hatchery Highlight from the GSA website. Special thanks to Duncan Chappell at the GSA Library for working with us on this series! ~Laura
Concrete Poetry Display
There’s a new display of books featuring concrete poetry from our Artists’ Books Collection on the second floor of the library.
Agua viva: seventeen paradoxes by Roni Horn
Concrete poetry is a genre of poetry where the layout of the text creates a visual image which can often be more important than the meaning of the text itself. In this way, concrete poetry can be considered part of the visual arts.
What’s my name? by Karl Holmqvist
GSA Library has lots of concrete poetry in the Artists’ Books collection, featuring work by artists including Ian Hamilton Finlay, Edwin Morgan, Karl Holmqvist, and Simon Cutts. You can find work by Roni Horn, Karl Holmqvist, Kasper Andraesen, Simon Cutts and Brian Catling amongst others in the display.
