Emma Minns<\/a> for an appointment.<\/p>\nBased on material from the collection of the late Andrew Belsey, philosophy lecturer, concrete poet and MA graduate from Typography & Graphic Communication, \u201cObjects made of letters\u201d explores and illustrates concrete poetry in its heyday. The experience of a concrete poem is always visual, the meaning \u2013 in the absence of conventional poetic imagery and syntax \u2013 often elusive. The exhibition provides a survey of key publications and illuminating examples, and focuses on the output of three significant figures: Dom Sylvester Hou\u00e9dard, Bob Cobbing and John Furnival.<\/p>\n
Curated by Rick Poynor, with assistance from Eric Kindel, Emma Minns and Geoff Wyeth.<\/p>\n
