Vancouver poets and artists began thinking about their creative works with new clarity and set about testing and redefining the boundaries of literature. As new gardes in Vancouver explored the limits of text and language, some writers began incorporating collage and concrete poetics into their work while others delved deeper into unsettling, revolutionary, and Surrealistic imagery. There was a presumption across the avant-garde communities that radical openness could provoke widespread socio-political change. In other words, the intermedia experimentation and the related destruction of the line between art and society pushed art to the frontlines of a broad socio-political battle of the collective imagination of Vancouver. Finding Nothing traces the rise of the radical avant-garde in Vancouver, from the initial salvos of the Tish group, through Blewointment's spatial experiments, to radical Surrealisms and new feminisms. Incorporating images, original texts, and interviews, Gregory Betts shows how the VanGardes signaled a remarkable consciousness of the globalized forces at play in the city, impacting communities, orientations, races, and nations."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 339-361) and index. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $z Vancouver $z Vancouver $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Arts $z Vancouver $z Vancouver $x Experimental methods. 650 0 $a Experimental poetry, Canadian $z Vancouver $z Vancouver $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Canadian poetry $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a Experimental poetry, Canadian. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918470 650 7 $a Canadian poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00845173 650 7 $a Arts $x Experimental methods. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817748 650 7 $a Avant-garde (Aesthetics) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00824280 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 651 0 $a Vancouver (B.C.) $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 651 7 $a British Columbia $z Vancouver. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211882 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Betts, Gregory, 1975- $t Finding nothing $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2021 $z 9781487531973 $z 9781487531973 $w (OCoLC)1243074116 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021901.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8858A96E8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
