Documenting the Art-Work Factory: Blackout and the Post-Industrial Archive

Documentare la fabbrica-opera d'arte : Blackout e l'archivio (post) industriale

Résumé

In 1980, when the post-industrial outlook became tangible, poet and artist Nanni Balestrini published Blackout. The poem is structured around four dictionary entries, each describing the notion of 'blackout' regarding memory loss, power failure, conclusion, forms of censorship or concealment. The works, images, and documents collected by Balestrini recount the sense of an end. This melancholy follows unrest and the need to record the volatile counter-chronicles of minor voices and micro-histories that have grown up on the fringes of the most visible events. Texts and images are juxtaposed to retrace stories of disobedience and revolt: the key to the poem is a visual and textual photomontage of archive materials, photographs and voices that are associated according to a fine combinatory principle.
