The artistic poetry of the Hungarian poet, performance artist and actress.
Katalin Ladik's radical approach to concrete and visual poetry, sound, performance, and sculpture established her as a key figure in Central and Eastern European art. This monograph contextualizes her wide-ranging practice within post-war international discourses on (lens-based) performance, concrete and visual poetry, score- and instruction-based work, feminist histories, and the motifs of ritual and folklore in recent art. Co-published with Haus der Kunst, Moderna Museet, Ludwig Museum, and acb Gallery, the volume features texts from several experts focusing on Ladik's single works and a newly commissioned visual essay by the artist.
