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 Amy Irwen on July 27, 2012 at 12:05am: Awesome Fleur..thanks for the updates...this one very fun *!*

Comment by Fleur Helsingor on July 27, 2012 at 12:01am: Excellent, the link worked!

As it happens, De Villo Sloan received another add and pass in that series, and there's a picture of it in that thread as well.

Comment by Fleur Helsingor on July 26, 2012 at 11:58pm: I have an update about the add and pass that Not Hi Ng started, and that I received from Amy Irwen. When I finished my additions, I thought that the piece should head across the pond to Europe, so I sent it to Erni Baer in Hamburg, Germany.

He received it earlier this week, and has written up an enthusiastic post on his blog. There are more pictures --- you can see his additions as well as the ones that I made.

Let's see if this link will work:
