International Festival of Text-Sound Poetry

November 7-10, 2015, ISSUE Project Room, Ultima Oslo Contemporary Music Festival, Goethe-Institut New York, and Wendy's Subway present a four-evening series of lectures, listening sessions, and performances exploring contemporary practices and historical approaches relating to text-sound poetry, a genre of spoken word poetry emphasizing the sound of speech over textual meanings, often combined with use of new media. The series features performances by an array of international artists including Anton Bruhin (CH), Anne-James Chaton (FR), Ian Hatcher (US), Swantje Lichtenstein (DE), Marc Matter (DE), Stine Motland (NO), and Antje Vowinckel (DE), as well as presentations by Charles Bernstein, Edwin Torres, and Steve McCaffery.
