Uncommon invitation to an exhibition 20 años Poema Proceso Brasileño organized by the Asociación Uruguaya de Artistas Correo. Examples of work by Wlademir Dias Pino, Dailor Varela and Alvaro de Sá. Text by Clemente Padin.
Poema/Processo was an attempt in Brazil in the late 1960s to go beyond Concrete Poetry by emphasizing the process as opposed to the final objective. Wlademir Dias Pino was a leader in this movement and Dailor Varela as well as Alvaro de Sá were both important contributors.
A Uruguayan artist, poet, and publisher, Padin edited the influential literary magazines Los Huevos del Plata and OVUM 10 which put him in contact with the international avant garde. A participant in mail art, his artistic and political endeavors landed him in jail in the late '70s and surveilled upon release til the mid '80s, deemed a threat by Uruguay's military dictatorship.
