Alain Arias-Misson – The Public A MADRID Poem 

Edited and with a text by / Hrsg. und mit einem englischen Text von
Christoph Benjamin Schulz In 1969 poet-artist Alain Arias-Misson (born
in 1936 in Brussels) staged The Public A MADRID Poem in the Spanish capitol. He had friends carry the human-sized, white cardboard letters A, M, A, D, R, I, and D through the streets to generate words in an anagrammatic fashion from this matrix at various precise locations: in front of the parliament and imposing churches, in busy streets, and on popular squares. The performative and ephemeral literary form of the Public Poem that he had invented shortly before allowed him to write a text in the social context of a city. He describes it as an “enactment of language—fluid, enmeshed in the real-street processes.” In a country that was still dominated by the Fascist regime of dictator Francisco Franco, such a poetic guerrilla action of appropriation of urban space, neither announced nor officially authorized, was a risky undertaking. For this reason, it had to be “capable of vanishing, while preserving its eminent public, spectacular character.” This is the most complete documentation of this significant event ever published. It consists of thirty-six photographs with statements by the artist on their backsides that give insight into what happened in the course of the Public Poem. They are accompanied by two manifesto-like texts and the reproduction of a collage from 1969 based on a map of Madrid on which the stations of this Public Poem are marked.   


1969 veranstalte der 1936 in Brüssel geborene Dichter, Schriftsteller und Künstler Alain Arias-Misson in der spanischen Hauptstadt The Public A MADRID Poem. Er ließ Freunde die aus weißer Pappe gefertigten menschengroßen Buchstaben A, M, A, D, R, I und D durch die Straßen tragen, um aus ihnen an prägnanten Orten quasi-anagramatisch Worte zu generieren: vor dem Parlamentsgebäude und an imposanten Kirchen, in belebten Straßen und auf beliebten Plätzen. Als performative und ephemere literarische Form, die er erst kurz zuvor entwickelt hatte, erlaubte ihm das Public Poem, einen Text in das soziale Gefüge einer Stadt zu schreiben. Er beschreibt es als ein „Inkraftsetzen von Sprache – fluide, und mit den realen Straßenvorgängen verschmolzen.“ In einem Land, das zu dieser Zeit noch vom faschistischen Regime des Diktators Francisco Franco beherrscht wurde, war eine solche weder angekündigte noch genehmigte poetische Guerilla-Aktion der Eroberung des öffentlichen Raums ein riskantes Unterfangen. Sie musste daher „unsichtbar werden, und gleichzeitig ihren dezidiert öffentlichen, aufsehenerregenden Charakter bewahren können“. Diese Veröffentlichung stellt die bisher umfassendste Dokumentation dieses bemerkenswerten literarischen Happenings dar. Sie enthält 36 mit Kommentaren des Autors versehene Fotografien, die Einblick in den Verlauf des Public Poems geben, zwei manifestartige Texte und die Reproduktion einer 1969 entstandenen, auf einem Stadtplan von Madrid basierenden Collage, auf der die Stationen des Public Poems nachzuvollziehen sind.
