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 Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat) on March 2, 2019 at 2:42pm: The writing is (tongue-in-cheek always) by Jon Foster , see:

10 Years of Mail Art (thoughts) by Jon Foster

great humor, get a copy and keep smiling about mail art :-)

Comment by Linda Rogers on March 1, 2019 at 6:11pm: Yes I don't quite understand the aversion expressed in the quote. At first I was super-nervous about messing up an Add and Pass that had a lot of work on it already. Then, inevitably, that actually happened and my mind went "Gesso!!!" and I whited out the disaster and painted over it. Worry over!

But since we are talking. I have NO IDEA what to do with Fluxus Bucks that came my way from you dear Carolyn. I have put something on one. Should I add to all three before I pass on or what?
