Oh this is exciting. I'll have mine in the mail Saturday, which is my birthday and it's a gift to myself to complete this part of the project.

I purposefully have tried to use the broadest definitions and concepts possible to give this array of artists maximum freedom to apply their talents and imaginations. Contrary to how it might appear, I personally am not interested in sitting around arguing about how many angels can fit on the head of a pin, or pinhead. Hey, you can always go to graduate school.

We think its important for everyone to know that these are experimental books. This group is experimental. To tackle a group effort like this is not easy.  Thank you for all the support, We have artists who are wiling to step in, so we will let you know who they are. Thank you Bruno for saying you will return the work - to make it easier, as I said, just send it all to me, I will make sure the new participants get their work.

We had to do some unroutine maintenance. Everything up and running again. I think.
Comment by cheryl penn on June 26, 2011 at 6:32am
There's nothing to do. If Bruno wants out he wants out. Thats it. The fact that he can find no space to be at the BEGINNING of what may become something quite important - thats his choice.  If my work - or anyone elses for that matter does not fit Bruno's prescriptions of what is and what is not asemics?  So be it. Through time it has been that forefront efforts come under fire. There has never been (to my knowledge) a project such as this.  Out of this other things will grow.  Bruno - return all the work of the participants to me I will see that the new person gets the work. I just want to say lastly - sometimes its better to endure than to run, you get further.

It's not timing Bruno. You were an important factor in building the group. Your ideas are here, believe it or not. It's a terrible loss. I'm not going to whine because it's not fair to you. I'll shut up.
Comment by De Villo Sloan on June 26, 2011 at 1:25am
Bruno, I understand because a lot of the work crosses over into vispo and other areas. But, this, what you're doing practically hurts. I hope you would reconsider.
