Textual vishyuns : image and text in the work of Bill Bissett / Carl Peters.

Résumé :

Although internationally recognized as a pioneer of visual, concrete, sound and performance poetry, few people recognize Bill Bissett's work in the visual arts to be of equal aesthetic importance. While his drawings, paintings, collages and three-dimensional assemblages were the subject of a 1984 Vancouver Art Gallery solo exhibition, Fires in th tempul, despite Bissett's substantial and ongoing contributions to the practice of the avant-garde tradition in art, very little critical work exists on his poetry, and almost no theoretical discourse exists on his visual work. In Textual Vishyuns, Carl Peters attributes this to the fact that Bissett's entire body of work consists of an integrated aesthetic praxis of "the whole art"; that his drawings, paintings, collages and assemblages-challenge artistic conventions of visual language in the same way that his poetry challenges linguistic conventions of syntax and grammar to escape the strictures of Western modes of binary and hierarchical thought and perception.
