A note on the video :SAL SAL INA SALENTO: the myth of visual poetry is a precious audio visual document presented at the MACMa Museum in Matino (Lecce), during the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of visual poetry The video, curated by Salvatore Luperto, (previously art director of the MACMa), was made thanks to the collaboration of Giovanni Giangrande, Liliana Ebalginelli and Biagio Putignano. The film, sponsored by the Banca Popolare Pugliese, critiqued by Lamberto Pignotti, was presented 22 May 2013 by the noted critic Claudio Cerritelli at the l’Academy of Fine Arts in Brera-Milano, and is now part of cultural programs in Florence, Rome and Palermo.
From Salvatore Luperto : “In 1963 a few young intellectuals, poets and artists, musicians, and philosophers, animated by a critical spirit, founded the group Gruppo Settanta in Florence and began a semiotic battle against the so called “fourth power “ through a new language mutated by technology and mass media. Eugenio Miccini, Lamberto Pignotti and then Michele Perfetti, Lucia Marcucci, Roberto Malquori, took images and texts from another contexts (magazines , posters, newspapers , ads and erasing or associating other signs they manipulated the meanings, unveiling the objectives of the press and its huge publicity. With lucid irony they criticized society and the communication system. Through decomposing the images which are reinterpreted in new images, more convincing poetical meanings. After fifty years, this historical and consolidated event is proposed documented by books, magazines , exhibitions , museums and relived in the Salina dei Monaci in the Paldue del Conte in Torre Colimena, in Salento, where the video was filmed”.
