MAIL ART CALL

PUBLICITY


Show your appreciation to these big corporations that love us so much. Take an ad (from magazines, newspapers, etc.) and manipulate it with drawing, painting, collage,...

The received works will be assembled in zine (xeroxed) and electronic forms and fed into the Mail Art network. All participants get a copy.

Deadline: Ongoing (started february 2004)

Size of the works is arbitrary. You can use color. It would be good that the work looks well in photocopy. That's difficult to predict but maybe you can check it by photocopying it. Still, I also plan to scan the works and make some kind of e-zine in acrobat pdf format. Since the electronic and paper docs would be different you may send what you like and I will put it were it fits best.

Electronic submission is also OK. To: substance19@yahoo.com
(no problem with large files, I think...)

[6-1-05] I know, I know,... Almost one year and still no documentation. The fact is that I'm in a "strange moment of my life" as Edward Norton says at the end of the Fight Club movie, and my mail art activity has been fairly reduced. But do not throw me the dogs, yet. I've been keeping good care of the contributions and it's not far the day where a nice documentation will be sent to all the participants (sigh).

Participants

There goes the list of contributors. I won't put a gallery on line. There will be links to the e-zines...
