Timeline
- December 1953
"... a Swiss architect, Max Bill, has undertaken to restructure the Bauhaus where Klee and Kandinsky taught. He wishes to make an academy without painting, without research into the imagination, fantasy, signs, symbols - all he wants is technical instruction. In the name of experimental artists I intend to create an International Movement For An Imaginist Bauhaus."(Letter from Asger Jorn to Enrico Baj) - 1954
Jorn finds a copy of Potlatch, the information bulletin of the Lettrist International at Baj's house. He then contacts Andre-Frank Connord, who puts him in contact with Guy Debord and Michèle Bernstein. - September 29, 1955
This movement was Founded in Alba, Piedmont, Italy by Asger Jorn, Giuseppe Pinot-Gallizio, and Piero Simondo.
- 1956
One issue of Eristica, their journal edited by Piero Simondo issued in July 1956. - July 28 1957
The IMIB fused with the Lettrist International and the London Psychogeographical Association to form the Situationist International.
Baj was excluded from this process.
Sergio Dangelo and Elena Verrone were also involved in this movement. [1] [Apr 2007]
