The exhibition curator AnaAly, artist and widow of PhiladelphoMenezes, highlights the importance of the work of the poet, which will present a meeting of visual poetry, book-objects, sound poems and hyper-media, of which she was many times the art finalist. The exhibition is a good opportunity for many people to remember and know other's work and PhiladelphoMenezes, who died in 2000.
PhiladelphoMenezes was a poet, essayist, translator, editor, theorist and promoter of national and international events which brought together poets making room to spread new genres and directions of contemporary world poetry. Menezes also held in Sao Paulo Cultural Center an exhibitioncalled Intersign Poetry (1985) and the 1st International Exhibition of Visual Poetry (1988) in São Paulo.
The poet had a law degree from USP and he was also a professor, a master and a PhD in Communication and Semiotics at PUC /SP. Tireless researcher, Menezeswas part of the vanguard of experimental visual and audible poetic movement in Brazil and in Europe, also the author of a respected critical work. His concept of "poetry intersign" put in new terms the relationship between image, sound and gesture, posing new discussions about the world of experimental poetry.
Menezes also pioneered the creation and dissemination of sound poetry in Brazil. In 1990, on behalf of the research for his PhD thesis, maintained contact with intellectuals such as Umberto Eco, Henri Chopin and Eugen Gomringer, and younger artists dedicated to experiments in this type of composition. According to Ana Aly "Philadelpho was a breeder for whom the theoretical reflection has always been an essential complement to artistic production."
