Smiles & Smirks

Information

Art with a measure of humour is required by Walmarth Corporation for its chain of supermarkets, located in the Queendom of Retailia and in Cascadia Artpost. Through this collaboration Cascadia Artpost and Mail Art Martha are continuing to give impulse to Trashpo, the artistic vision of Diane Keys.

‘Walmarth Corporation is an entertaining and witty parody of corporate, consumer culture. Cascadia Artpost’s painstaking realization of Mail Art Martha’s ideas through detailed, special effects style models makes Walmarth Corporation one of the crowning achievements of Trashpo in the half-decade that it has been producing a large quantity of art.’

In addition to Trashpo the Corporation has now expanded to include political satire, parody, comics, caricature and witty playfulness.

Comment by Alan Brignull on May 2, 2020 at 8:32am: No picture, but I had to smile when I found a channel on YouTube devoted to eighteenth century recipes had been deluged with politically charged complaints about a dessert recipe. I investigated and found it was for orange fool.

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on April 30, 2020 at 12:22am: Big believer in such shreds here. Request going out tomorrow, thank you to Jack and to Martha ---

Comment by Cascadia Artpost on April 29, 2020 at 8:31pm: To celebrate May Day, May 1st, Walmarth Cascadia is offering bags of shredded add-and-pass sheets on a first-come, first serve basis. Add-and-Pass Shreds are perfect for adding a trashpodiferous touch to your collage, postcard, or other mail art. And you don't have to be near a Walmarth dumpster to take advantage - we pay the postage worldwide, wherever international mail still operates. Send your request to SHREDS OFFER - WALMARTH CASCADIA, c/o Cascadia Artpost.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on April 29, 2020 at 7:18pm: The following three examples of the work of Nancy Bell Scott are a rather superior style of Trashpo. And here is how she works , a whimsy and amusing if instructive account.Thank you Nancy.
