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 May 25, 2012 at 6:23pm: One thing that I do with black and white copies is to get out my colored pencils and do some hand coloring ...... :-D

Comment by Amy Irwen on May 24, 2012 at 3:58pm: Yeah, I say no photo copies on add-n-passes..all original work *!*
Can I get an "Amen" !

Comment by PIRO on May 24, 2012 at 2:08pm: Nice work Amy. It's true, i got a black and white copy and still don't know how to start on it.

Comment by liketelevisionsnow on May 24, 2012 at 12:00pm: Hi Fleur - thanks for sending along the Add & Pass! I will put my contribution in and send it along.

Comment by Amy Irwen on May 22, 2012 at 8:44pm: Final Add-N-Pass started by Giesele Marsaglia;France..then on to Gi;no address.. then to the Haddock;Oregon..then on to me...finished!

just wanted to add that what I received was all black/white - a copy of the original. I can't usually work on scanned copies; to impersonal, but I didn't want to be a fuddy-duddy, so I thought I'd add one (1) thing...and then it grew into the whole page! I'm keeping my original and sending color copies to the participants...If anyone knows who Gi is, let me know so I can forward on to him/her...

Comment by Helder on May 20, 2012 at 10:53pm: Wow! This group is very Alive :) Nice to see all this add & pass updates, i wonder if Samuel Montalvetti has passed through here on the last weeks and even if he already received my Add & Pass?... if so Samuel, please say something, thanks
