Abstract

Extensive interview with art historian, curator and concrete poet Stephen Bann by Gustavo Grandal Montero, focusing on his curatorial, critical and artistic work of the 1960s, closely involved with the development of Concrete poetry in the UK. Associated at an early stage with Ian Hamilton Finlay, he co-organized the First International Exhibition of Concrete and Kinetic Poetry (Cambridge, 1964) and was Director of the Concrete Poetry Exhibition for the inaugural Brighton Festival in 1967, edited Concrete poetry: an international anthology (1967) and published several influential critical texts, while developing his own Concrete poetry practice. His association with Noigandres (particularly Augusto and Haroldo de Campos) and other concrete poets in Brazil (Pedro Xisto) is also discussed.
