Episode 8 - Objects of poetry. Iris Colomb
British/French poet/performer/editor/curator Iris Colomb from London is one of the most active interdisciplinary artists working in the UK. Most of her work is “in between”, very experimental, very physical, playful and funny, and sometimes daring. The way she uses objects as part of her “poetry” is quite unique. We talk about her specific “design” approach to poetry, the many different areas of work and media she uses. We talk about the use of restraint and the use of the body as a poetic object. And we talk about the role of humour and slapstick in experimental art. In the podcast we hear two live audio performances of Iris Colomb: "Nothing Intensifies" & "Just between us". Towards the end of the podcast you can hear a recording of "Sting" from the forthcoming Album "Buzz" by duo project [something's happening] with Daryl Worthington. Iris Colombs' poetry recommendation is Soundpoet & Interdisziplinary artist Nicola Woodham.
