Definition of Asemic Writing - Adapted from Wikipedia 12 Replies

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 10, 2011 at 4:16pm: Wouldn't miss it. And I do mean this seriously - I think some of Superhero's various mini-manifestos about asemic writing are better than the iron fist of the Asemically Correct. The Asemically Correct, BTW, are not here with us on this little island of freedom. Freedom does require constant vigilance.

Comment by cheryl penn on July 10, 2011 at 4:08pm: DVS - I'm looking forward to the Introduction - somehow, everything comes together with that.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 10, 2011 at 4:06pm: 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.

Comment by cheryl penn on July 10, 2011 at 4:00pm: 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!

Comment by De Villo Sloan on July 10, 2011 at 3:56pm: 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.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on July 10, 2011 at 1:59pm: Prettylily, paring down can be difficult, that's for sure. That's why I have to really work at it sometimes . . . Thank you.

Comment by prettylily on July 10, 2011 at 12:45pm: 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!

Comment by prettylily on July 10, 2011 at 12:31pm: 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.

Comment by 1cgqtuoblpeqc on July 10, 2011 at 11:03am: yes, received my specks yesterday.
the animals / insects are really cool looking!

Comment by PIRO on July 10, 2011 at 3:11am: 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.
