Ljubljana Chapter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radijski progam Vejica-Poezija od tu
in tam, posvecen Joau Delgadu, snemano v nedeljo 4.novembra
2007 v Ljubljani.
Radio Program “Coma – Poetry
from Here and There”, devoted to Joao Delgado
recorded on
Sunday 4th November,2007. Ljubljana.
From the Radio_Ljubljana_Program on Joao Delgado:
Good evening to all our listeners.This
edition of “Coma - Poetry from Here and there”
will be devoted to the Portuguese –Argentinean
poet Joao Delgado, in occasion of the exhibiting of
some of his works as part of the permanent exhibition
of the City Museum of Ljubljana. This new show, curated
by Angelika Schmidt, one of the most prominent scholars
and researchers of Delgado, is in fact organized in
the frame of the Break Festival – named this year:
Potemkin Village. The festival name is a local homage
to Joao Delgado’s most famous and unique performance
piece “Potemkin Village. A reconstruction of a
never performed performance”[...] Delgado, who
spent most of his life in exile. Two or three nights
of it spent in Ljubljana. Here he wrote, as it is said,
at least 2 poems.
Those two poems were enough to create one of the most
secret and amazing literary circles in our city. Till
today, a group of Slovenian poets and students meet
together monthly in Kavarna Grand Hotel Union in order
to read some of his saved poetry. Because of the fact
that most of his original work disappeared, the Hebrew
translation became the original of other translations.
Now we are going to hear some of Delgado’s poems
in their Hebrew translation, read by one of the Slovenian
fans...

Pricujoca izdaja casopisa »Hearat
Shulaym« je faksimile izdaje 3452. številke
portugalskega dnevnika »La Opinion«. Leta
1928, dan po vojaškem državnem udaru, je porugalski
pesnik Joao Delgado, tudi pisec osmrtnic pri casopisu,
zamenjal crnilo v tiskalnem stroju iz crne v belo barvo.
Bela izdaja casopisa je z ocutljivo poetiko napovedala
temne case, ki so se od tistega dne zgrinjali nad portugalsko
ljudstvo. Vse primerke te izdaje je zasegla vojska,
le ena se je ohranila. Ta edini preostali primerek je
sam pesnik podpisal in ga podaril svojemu prijatelju
Arturu Mauru. Dandanes je v knjižnici Britanskega
muzeja. Izdaja 11.številke »Hearat Shulayma«
(v prevodu »Opombe«), casopis za umetnost,
oktober 2007, Jeruzalem
The current issue of Hearat Shulaym is a facsimile of
issue #3452 of the daily Portuguese newspaper "La
Opinion." In 1928, a day after the military coupe
d'etat, the Portuguese poet Joao Delgado, who was the
necrologies writer for the newspaper, changed the ink
color in the printing press from black to white. With
subtle poetics, the blank issue anticipated the dark
times descending upon the Portuguese people since that
day. All the copies of that issue were confiscated and
burnt by the army, but only one survived. That single
copy, signed by the poet, was given by him to his friend
Arturo Maure. Today the copy is in the British Museum
Library. Delgado's signature was torn off.
Issue Number 11 of Hearat Shulaym (Foot on the Margins),
Art Journal, devoted to Delgado’s action , October
2007, Jerusalem

Tu bo postavljen kip iz brona s podobo
Joaa Delgada, ki ga je izdelal Francisco Salazar –
eden najpomembnejših kiparjev živecih in delujocih
v Lizboni, necak portugalskega diktatorja in paradoksalno
eden od najbolj eruditskih bralcev Delgadove poezije.
Kip bo del stalne razstave Mestnega muzeja–v spomin
na Delgadov prispevek mestu Ljubljana, tekom dveh nepozabnih
noci, ki je prebil v mestu v 50. -ih letih.
Here will be erected a bronze statue
with the face of the poet Joao Delgado, sculpted by
Francisco Salazar - one of the most important sculptors
leaving and working in Lisbon, niece of the Portuguese
dictator and paradoxically one of the most erudite readers
of Delgado’s poetry. The statue will be part of
the permanent exhibition of the City Museum– as
a tribute to Delgado’s contribution to the city
of Ljubljana, during the two unforgettable nights he
spent in the city in the 50’s.
