Théorie is contemporary poetry that can be bought and collected. It is a series of 100 rectangular-shaped poems that have been composed and arranged by Angelo Careri during a seven-year span, starting 2012. Each poem that is part of Théorie is a theory. Theories are marketed toward poetry lovers, art collectors, institutions and museums, so that they can acquire outstanding pieces of poetry. They are sold through an original auction system that gives everyone a chance to acquire his favourite theory. First, you should read the Terms of sale to understand how this works. The second step is to register to the Newsletter to keep updated about when the next session of auction starts.
But what exactly will you buy? You buy a poem directly to the author of the poem, and 100% of the money goes to him. There are no intermediate, no gallery or publisher: it is only the buyers that, by bidding, define the value of theories. When you win an auction, Angelo Careri surrenders the entirety of his copyrights on the theory that you acquired to you. The poem then becomes your entire responsibility and you can do whatever you want it with it. You can publish it, exhibit it, translate it, resell it, or simply enjoy it for yourself. See The contract for a detailed description of what you are buying from a legal standpoint.
