ADD & PASS - The X Files

Information

In the Mail Art activity, there are interesting ideas that are explored, like Mail Art Calls, Collaborative Books, Visual Poetry etc, and we also have the ADD & PASS, which are created somewhere in the world by a Mail Artist who send by mail one "object", proposing that it be changed or simply Added an Artistic Intervention by another Mail Artist, appealing that the "object" being referred back to an following artist, chosen randomly or not.The original creator Add its Address on the "object" in hopes that later return him, filled with interventions of Mail Artists from different places and countries, giving him a great satisfaction to see the "object" with a new "life".

This group aims to be the dissemination place to the Add and Pass, and a ARCHIVE of it, however, giving preference to " Booklets",becouse it is here that the individuals have their own space to give wings to is imagination and technique.

Comment by Fleur Helsingor on November 18, 2020 at 6:24pm: Hi folks,

I'd like to request that you all hold off on sending add-and-passes to me at this time. I had orthopedic surgery earlier this month to repair a broken leg and I need to rest for several more weeks.

I have several add-and-passes in my pile now and will try to get to them as soon as I can.

I'll let you all know when I'm back up to speed again.

In the meantime, take care, all of you. For those in the U.S., have a Happy Thanksgiving!
