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 February 21, 2016 at 11:30pm: Hello fellow add & pass artist. The first add & pass book was a great success. I'm so excited the eager to do another one. I want to start putting a list together. I have a pretty large blank book. Who's in? Please feel free to join our group "Thee Althoff Trans-Atlantic book club". I usually use a predetermined list and provide all the postage for the US people (since I can't for other countries). Anyways would love to have the next one be even bigger! Feel free to comment here or message me if you would like to participate.

Comment by SamaLama on February 21, 2016 at 9:58pm: This collaborative add and pass mail art book has been traveling around the country for the last 6 months. The artists include Angie & Snooky, Grace Sanford, Corazon, Borderline Grafix, Prairie Kitten, Sheri Rice, Amber Whitenberg, Chris Wells, & myself (Samantha Althoff). I appreciateall of the hard work that has gone into this and I am so happy to see it complete. Thanks again to everyone who participated. Enjoy!
