Synopsis
A Landmark Anthology of the Dada Artist's Stimulating and Controversial Works; P P P P P P is a collection of the radical works of Kurt Schwitter: humorous and explosively lyrical writings that embrace and undo every genre, prefiguring sound, concrete and abstract poetry, and laying the groundwork for performance art. Schwitter's passion was for juxtaposition, a breaking down of boundaries not for the sake of shock, but in the service of creative hilarity. Using visual and verbal material drawn from the debris of culture, Schwitters offers the reader a visual collage of chaos dedicated to the common man. This anthology includes includes Schwitter's complete liver extract Augusta Bolte, as well as the transcription of his notorious Ur Sonata, which has been recently made available in several CD recordings.
