HOMENAJE A EDGARDO ANTONIO VIGO
Hace ya 10 anos que se nos fue el artista y poeta argentino Edgardo Antonio
Vigo, xilografo, poeta experimental, editor incansable, artecorreista o
"trabajador en la comunicacion a distancia" como solia llamarlo, constructor
de "objetos inutiles y maquinas extranas", innovador constante, pensador y
teorico y otras variedades no ovacionadas en arte.
A comienzos de los 70s. se integra a los nacientes circuitos del arte correo
siendo uno de sus mas constantes creadores hasta el dia de su muerte. La
dictadura militar de su pais le golpea duramente al hacer desaparecer a su
hijo mayor, Palomo Vigo y, fue a partir de este desgraciado hecho, que su
obra cobra un caracter fuertemente politico a la par que aumentan sus
contactos con el exterior, difundiendo la brutal represion y delitos de lesa
humanidad de aquella feroz dictadura.
Su poema visual "Sembrar la memoria" se convirtio en un emblema de la
resistencia a la arbitrariedad e insania institucional. En los ultimos anos,
su obra vuelve a la luz, en la Fundacion San Telmo (1991) en donde expone
sus obras mayores y, en 1994, es seleccionado para integrar el envio
argentino a la XXII Bienal de San Pablo, Brasil, logrando el reconocimiento
mundial a ese nivel.
Ante tan magno acontecimiento invitamos a los artistas y poetas de todo el
mundo a adherirse a esta recuerdo humilde enviando una sola obra, de
cualquier caracter (que pueda contenerse en uno o dos archivos JPEG de 200
Kb o en un WORD de 3 paginas, unicamente) que resuma su homenaje a tan
insigne artista cuyo mayor merito fue insuflarnos el afan por la libertad
enfrentandonos a la disyuntiva de tener que optar entre las variadas
posibilidades de significacion (incluso de alterar el sentido) que ofrecian
sus obras y asumir y concretar asi, a traves de la eleccion personal,
nuestra genuina naturaleza hacia la libertad.

HOMAGE EDGARDO ANTONIO VIGO
Edgardo Antonio Vigo died in 1997 when he was close to 70 years of age, in
La Plata, the city in which he was born. An xylophonist, experimental poet,
conceptualist, builder of "useless objects and strange machines", a constant
innovator whose work was only very recently discovered, he has become a
source of constant surprise, because of the almost indescribable nature of
his proposals. He also cultivated forms, such as mail art and experimental
poetry, which are even today considered sub-artistic, or simply not
considered art at all by vernacular criticism.
In the early 70s Vigo joined the nascent circuits of Mail Art, becoming one
of its most active participants until the day of his death. The military
dictatorship in his country dealt him a cruel blow when one of his sons,
Palomo Vigo, disappeared and it is from that tragic event onwards that his
work acquired a strong political tone, as he extended his contacts abroad,
spreading information about the brutal repression and crimes against
humanity committed by that fierce dictatorship. His visual poem Sembrar la
Memoria (Sowing Memories) is emblematic in front injustice and institutional
illness. In later years his work came to light again, when he exhibited
individually at the San Telmo Foundation (1991) where he presented a
retrospective of his major works. In 1994 he was chosen to be part of the
Argentine contribution to the 22nd Sao Paulo Biennial (Brazil) where he
received worldwide reconnaissance
In front so important event we invited artists and poets of everybody to
adhere to this humble memory sending an only work, of any character (that
could control in one or two JPEG files of 200 Kb or in a WORD file of 3
pages, only) that abridge his/her homage to so famous artist whose merit was
give us the toil for liberty confronting us to opcional of having to opt
between the varied possibilities of signification (included altering its
sense) that his works offered and take on and state explicitly so, through
the personal election, our genuine nature to freedom.
