These previously unissued recordings from the Porn Art Movement (1980-1982) include five performances recorded live on Ipanema Beach in 1982, as well as a selection of previously unheard studio recordings of Eduardo Kac yell-poems. Kac fused existing coarse and curse words with parts of words, neologisms, salacious buffoonery, the antinormative scribblings of toilet-wall graffiti, commonplaces, blasphemy, expletives, agrammatisms, incorrect orthography, slangy expressions, lexical exorbitance, general obscenities, the gross and the grotesque, into a new whole. His use of stigmatizing words in these Porn-poems transformed them from denigratory to empowering, through political critique and defiance.
The LP also includes the Manifesto Pornô (1980) and four recordings of Flatographic Poems from 1982, in which Kac uses the flatus as a compositional unit and the mellifluous flatal flow as material. Flatographic poems have visual scores—one of which can be seen on the cover—for metabolic performances that combine meticulous precision with gaseous explosiveness of scatological resonance. Demanding a high level of self-mastery on the part of the performer, this anal poetry was the only series of works produced in the Movement to literally explore the internal side of the body.
Edition limited to 270 copies, also including an LP-size 40-page full-color book with full documentation on the Porn Art Movement.
Artiste brésilien né en 1962, Eduardo Kac créa le mouvement d’Art Porno (Movimento de Arte Pornô) actif de 1980 à 1982 pendant la dictature militaire au Brésil. L’idée était de détourner l’usage original de la pornographie en en faisant un médium artistique novateur et en la mettant au service de la résistance politique au gouvernement en place. Un art expérimental qui s’exprima principalement dans des performances. Ici des enregistrements réalisés à la plage d’Ipanema en 2002 + un manifeste porno + quelques hommages flatulents à Joseph Pujol.
270 copies + 40 pages de documentation.
