Thanks,               my dear friend,                                          I need your help...Please, correct this small text. From you are already guest, of course.   Thanks  in advance, an hung,   CALL: 50 YEARS OF THE CONCRETE POETRY   This call is directed not only to the great community of visual poets of the whole world but and above all to the specialists and lovers of poetry. To the end of this year, 2006, the 50 years of the birth of one of the tendencies of the most important visual poetry of the world are completed: we referred to Concrete Poetry.   In December, 1956, the historic Art Concrete expositions begin in Brazil giving commencement to one of the artistic movements more important in the world in the second half of the XX century. The participant poets in those expositions were: Decio Pignatari, Augusto and Haroldo of Campos, Ronaldo Azeredo, Ferreira Gullar and Wlademir Dias-Pino. The first exposition is carried out in San Pablo, from 4 to 18 December, in the Art Modern Museum (MAM) and the next one was inaugurated in Rio de Janeiro, in February 7, 1957, in the vestibule of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Brazil.   Concrete Poetry surges, simultaneously, in Europe and in Latin American: in 1952 Noigandres group is founded in Sao Paulo; in 1953 the manifesto "For Concrete Poetry" of Oyvind Falström appears in Sweden and in 1953 "Constelaciones" of Eugen Gomringer, swiss-bolivian poet, secretary of the Superior School of the Form of Ulm, Switzerland, heiress of the German Bahaus, appears in Switzerland. Gomringer and Pignatari were precisely whom call Concrete Poetry to the nascent poetic movement in 1955.   In homage to so outstanding events we invited you to send us, all note, comment, bibliography, photo, poem or document that remember that historic moments and contribute to form a body or summa of know-how and works in relationship to one of the last poetic current that we have known to the Clemente Padin´s email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Subsequently, toward November 2006, the selected material will be incorporated to BOEK861 website of Cesar Reglero to the same time with the realization of the Coloquium on the 50 anniversary of concrete poetry that will be carried out in the University of Stuttgart, Germany, from 23 to 26 November, 2006.   The pictures and poems won't surpass the 300 KB in JPEG files in high resolution and, the notes, the 5 DINA pages, in Word files.
