Published in 1932,
Kurt Schwitters’s “Sonata In Primeval Sounds” is the granddaddy of sound-art poems:
a 90-minute nonsense opus that develops 26 abstract themes in
classical sonata format.
Andy Laties’s rousing participatory interpretations
were honored in Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art’s major
“Art in Chicago 1945-1995″ retrospective.
