The Prose Sculpture operation :

  • To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Festival and 25 years of its review La Traductiere, the Anglo-French Poetry Festival is launching with Transignum Editions a "Prose Sculpture" operation involving poets, artists and reviews from everywhere.
  • Poets have created poems using contemporary prose texts, while artists worked on contemporary images from newspapers, magazines, publicity, etc. to create their own artworks.
  • Some 82 poems and 120 images have been created this way. They represent together, including the original images, some 265 pannels A3, to be presented together on in separated exhibitions, depending on the room of each place. Up to now, different exhibitions are already programmed in Paris, Fougères, Bucharest, Melbourne, Aldeburgh, Toronto, etc.
  • Six poetry reviews are publishing in June 2007 their own "prose sculpture" issue or dossier : Contrapunct in Roumania, Exit and Ellipse in Quebec and Canada, Poetry Review in UK, Il Segnale - Percorsi di ricerca letteraria in Italy, and la Traductière in France. Common launches will be held in Namur, Bucharest, Paris, Aldeburgh, Toronto, Montreal, etc.
