Partum Andrzej

Composer, poet, author of artistic manifestos and performances, for years regarded as a champion of the Polish avant‑garde. Partum was the first artist to illegally issue volumes of poems in communist Poland and one of the champions of concrete poetry in which graphic form is as important as the content. He was also a leader in world mail‑art. Since the '60s Partum has maintained close contacts with representatives of the world's artistic avant‑garde including Dick Higgins, Robert Filliou and Ben Vautier.
