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 SamaLama on August 7, 2015 at 5:00am: Would anyone like to be part of a add and pass book? I have a book I started but it would be better to have others contribute. I was thinking I would make a list of whoever wants to participate and we could pass it around. It's an 8 page book so I think at least 8 people would need to participate. But there is a front and back so if just depends on how much space everyone would like. Message me and I will compile the addresses. I have one other person and myself so far would love to start this next week. Thanks

Comment by SamaLama on August 2, 2015 at 1:59pm: Res, I'm not sure if you still need more people for your add/pass/return but count me in if you do

Comment by Susan McAllister on August 2, 2015 at 4:24am: Res, you can come up with others things to subvert while you're waiting. It's always a good use of time.
