DVS - I'm looking forward to the Introduction - somehow, everything comes together with that.

Thanks Cheryl, participants, of course, can do anything they want with their books. With Project 26, editions have found their way into exhibits, blog posts, who knows... And - I'll write an introduction - as I did for Project 26 - that explains the concept etc. etc. I especially want to write the intro in response to the asemic Correctness that has reared its little pit bull head. That should help.

These books will go on exhibition in South Africa next year as DVS knows - so, we are looking forward to completion of this project.  DVS is right - Project 26 was on exhibition in Rome - and it due to be exhibited in Argentina at the end of the year (Rosa Gravino).  Here's to hoping Monday is a full on Asemics Receipt Day.  Hope you're all having a FAB Sunday!

Answering Svetlana's earlier question: Asemics 16 is not being shown in Rome, to my knowledge. Cheryl and I coordinated another book here at the IUOMA before this. It was called Project 26. It was based on letters of the alphabet. It had visual poetry, collage, all sorts of things. Alfonso Filieri put it on exhibit in Rome. He is an outstanding book artist. He is participating in Asemics 16 too. So I was talking about something else.

 

Svetlana, just so I don't clog up the stream further - the Asemics 16 concept is posted in various parts of the thread. I'll answer any specific questions you have.

Prettylily, paring down can be difficult, that's for sure.   That's why I have to really work at it sometimes . . . Thank you.

Can't wait to get to the PO tomorrow.  I'm hoping for more chapters of the #2 book.

So many different approaches.  This has been a great experience!

Nancy, Welcome!   De Villo has a great eye for spotting Asemics.  I looked at your 3 piece collage photos.  Love the simplicity of them.  It's always a challenge to me to pare down anything and I really admire people that can.

Recieved the Asemic #1 chapter of Frieder Speck from germany today. Love his integration of animal drawings to the asemic writing pages.  Each one has it's own voice, sound, writing !!!! Thanks Frieder.

De Villo Sloan, your question about me and asemic writing is insightful.  From looking at some (wonderful!) here, I realize it was a significant part of my work about ten or fifteen years ago, and likely somewhat even before.  I was unaware of a name and, who knows why, stopped doing it on/in/as actual artwork, but it shows up in sketchbooks and odd slips of paper all the time.  Your group and what you are doing here is really thrilling to me.
