Porn Art Movement, Avant-gardeAbstract
The Porn Art Movement (Movimento de Arte Pornô) was an experimental art movement I launched in Rio de Janeiro that lasted, as a sustained interventionist effort, for two years, from February 1980 to February 1982. It was the last organized avant-garde movement in Brazilian art and poetry. It was also known as Pornpoetry (Poesia Pornô) or Pornism and in what follows I will alternately use any of the movement’s three names. The movement carried out numerous public interventions, published three zines, two anthologies, several opuscules and varied publications, and developed a broad audience1. Pornism began as a poetry movement and quickly expanded into many other areas, upending aesthetic norms across many different media, upsetting the accepted parameters of everyday experience, and modeling new modes of being.Downloads
