- PARTS OF US mourns about the impossibility of any successful communication. If only parts of us will ever touch parts of others, then we are confined in our bodies. We are locked in prisons we strive to share. Parts Of Us is made up of fragments: poems, quotes, cut in half pictures... and ends with Four Earnest Songs, where the body becomes the entrance hall to nonexistence. As Anne Carson said: "I like to deal with fragments. Because no matter what the thought would be if it were fully worked out, it wouldn’t be as good as the suggestion of a thought that the space gives you." 1000 BOOKS BY 1000 POETS Over the course of two months—from January to March of 2014 — 89plus and LUMA Foundation will publish 1000 books by 1000 poets born in 1989 and after. Hand-picked by a group of advisors on every continent, this series will be the first-ever attempt to survey the global poetic production of an emerging generation. Each poet will determine the content and length of their book including unpublished full-length manuscripts
cobbled together collections of occasional poems
durational conceptual works spanning hundreds of pages
repurposed texts
texts which have previously been published in book form
texts which have previously been published online
visual and concrete poems, but to name a few. All books will constitute a physical library which will travel to various sites — galleries, museums, and universities — around the world. All books will be edited, designed, and produced by teams of 89plus poets-in-residence and designers in Zürich at LUMA/Westbau during the duration of the show, Poetry will be made by all! and made available on Lulu’s print-on-demand service.
