The International Colloquium OULIPO@50 organized by the University at Buffalo – SUNY and the international e-zine Arcade/Formules which will take place from October 5th to October 8th, 2011, marks the 50th anniversary of the official foundation of this French vanguard literary movement which expanded into many other artistic areas all over the world. This North-American Colloquium will encourage the dialogue between invited Oulipo writers and their readers, both long followers of the group and new readers.

The colloquium will offer a historical prospective on Oulipo and elaborate how the work of the group fits among the XXth Century literary and artistic movements. Since the event takes place in North America, it will also be the occasion to emphasize the interconnections between Oulipo and the English speaking world and the links that exist with past and current artistic and literary movements that mark North American modernity.

The colloquium will take place in the Hyatt-Regency downtown Buffalo at the same time as the MSA 13 Conference. In parallel, the world renowned Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum in Buffalo will open an “Oulipo” exhibit, the first of this type in the world in which never before exhibited documents related to the history of the group will be on display. This will include documents and archives from the pre-Oulipo years to the latest contemporary pieces.
