on naît, on meurt, on sort du néant et on y rentre | cette aventure nous attriste | c’est drôle | avant on est neutre | après on est neutre | sans personne | wols, aphorismes
Dear friends and book lovers,
if you couldn’t attend Giuliana Prucca’s talk at the Cipm | Centre international de poésie Marseille on June 14, 2025, the recording of the presentation of Devenir minéral is now available online on the Cipm website (in French only).
Warmest thanks to the entire Cipm team for their generous invitation, thoughtful exchange, and hospitality.
Cipm | Centre international de poésie Marseille is a center dedicated to the creation and dissemination of contemporary poetry, both French and international, based in Marseille since 1990. The Cipm library houses around 50,000 items and is internationally recognized for its exceptional holdings: French poetry, essays, philosophy, art books, international journals, the Anne-Marie Albiach collection, American poetry, multilingual materials, and audiovisual resources.
Devenir minéral proposes a rereading of a significant moment in twentieth-century art history through the writing of Antonin Artaud and through inorganic matter—stone, sand, earth, dust. Adopting an experimental approach that unsettles traditional reading habits and inhabits the space of writing differently, the book weaves critical and poetic connections between texts and works by artists, writers, and thinkers including Jean Dubuffet, Jan Fabre, Yves Klein, Francis Ponge, Anselm Kiefer, Joë Bousquet, Wols, Alberto Giacometti, Gaston Bachelard, Gilles Deleuze, Aby Warburg, Claudio Parmiggiani, as well as the Gutai and Butoh movements.
