This poem, like Word-fore-play - Recipe for Love is a humorous but passionate string of word foreplay oriented around oral and aural desire – culinary and physical. On the 19th of December 2004 Ury created a list of words on food themes, which on 15th May 2011, in the same written order became the basis of this nonsense poem. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx*** In its style and intention the concrete poetry is a collection of jumbled, abstract ideas that reflect the day-to-day life and mood of the artist. Above all, it is improvised and written down immediately - in essence it is automatic writing. Tanya Ury’s written poetry may be regarded as “concrete” because of its visual design, and unconventional aural effect when spoken - the texts thereby gain in dimension beyond accepted meaning. Ury has also created other artworks that might be considered visual poetry. Moving Message 1992, incorporates an LED sign displaying the words: you are why; Sonata in Sea 1999-2000 is a photo series combined with poetry and wrestlewithyourangel 2001, is a neon sign produced together with the neon sign neonazi 2001; the title of a double photo portrait lesser is me more or less 2003 plays on the name of the German Post-Impressionist Lesser Ury, as does the title of a further double portrait or else 2007, which refers to the German writer Else Ury. The title of a third photo-portrait Beelzebularin 2005 (in the Promised Land series) reveals itself to be an anagram of the biblical Bezalel Ben Uri. half dimensional - semi detached 2010, combines the first of the half dimensional poems with the photograph semi detached. Concrete poetry in the series: femiNINIty – femininiation 1984 & 2011 |
