checking in with the anemic #4 group. If any of you didn't receive a book from me, please let me know. All were posted a couple of weeks ago. :)

Yep!  Agree.

Cheryl, you mean Juri for me & your's for me to forward to him?  No.  Not yet but it always takes a week or so from SA.  I'll will be dropping by the PO later this week and will let you know.

Many thanks Sue - no sign of my sending yet? I LOVE my book - just have to get in the missing bits! :-) X

Chapters #4 book have arrived from Alicia & De Villo.  Great stuff and DVS also included some great trash fodder.  What a pal!  Katerina was kind enough to send me pages from her Chapter #5 and I think I will bind it with my chapter 4 book.  :-)  Thank you all!

 

Cheryl, your binding looks teriffic.  Great idea for the late add ons.  Thanks for taking the time to show us.  This was an inspirational project.  I only wish I could have participated in all of the books.  Well....perhaps another time.  It's nice to have a mix of such creative chapters!

Ooooh it looks good Cheryl - damn, wish I had participated!

Just so you know, the book is nearly complete - will hopefully blog the binding later today - MAN! This was a job and a half - but SO worth it - I'm CHUFFED!

Thanks for intro comments asemicists! I agree with Nancy's comments elsewhere, Guido. Wonderful series you are making! 

 

I didn't want to drop the comments about the minimalism I think I see in Edition #4. We have some four and five edition veterans who deserve more than praise for what they have contributed to this project!

 

Yes, the production schedule has been rigorous and #5 will be the last for a while. I don't think fatigue entirely explains the folks who chose to simplify and economize in various ways. Some of the work in the earlier editions were PRODUCTIONS - complex overlays tied into image systems etc. etc. It would be natural - even cyclical - to want to experiment with less, with simplicity. And we've had examples posted of VERY successful work that is very simple - I'm thinking of photos that have been posted that are so thought-provoking as well as things in the found objects area. Interesting things indeed.

 

The amazingly complicated piece Skybridge Studios made and that received so much attention is an inevitable exception.

Mmm, Artaud in Mexico, he is linked with Michaux in the way they both used "magic mushrooms". he also wrote a book about that, which is translated in English.
