"Gil J Wolman. I am immortal and alive" Notes by Bartomeu Marí

He invented the "mégapneumie", poems of breath and pure sound, which he belched out at his legendary recitals in Paris. Also 'Scotch art', in which he mutilated and spoiled artworks in order to imbue them with new signs and meanings. He was a journalist, a revolutionary, a ship's captain, a drug trafficker, a lorry driver, a barman and... an artist. In his own words, "Gil J Wolman, born in 1929, met a few people, took part in a few demonstrations, did a few things." Under the title "Gil J Wolman. I am immortal and alive", MACBA devotes a major exhibition to one of the freest, most enigmatic and most discreet artists of the second half of the last century.
