Friends, Dear De Villa Sloan I want to bring clarifications. Our project Stuff in the Museum of Russia in the city of Taganrog and the PARALLEL INTERNATIONAL PROJECT MAIL - АРТА - curators asemic Cheril Penn and De Villo Sloan, and the zombie of the book the Super Hero, as cards sent by other artists.
Mail-art sent De Villo Sloan we have bridged STUFF as we with Victoria use a car the translator to the adhesive tape and the poster of our project, there was an error.Vica wrote sent De Villo Sloan the MAIL-ART, instead of GARBAGE. There is even a film on a theme "Difficulty of transfer" I be sorry for misunderstanding and let's not quarrel. In Russia the exhibition has caused the big resonance, all very much liked 1 international project mailart is a break in art of our city and Russia!! АРТ the MUSEUM With the BIG GRATITUDE And PLEASURE TRANSFERS THANKS And GREETINGS to ALL PARTICIPANTS of the INTERNATIONAL PROJECT the MAIL-ARTA!!)))

Trashpo means many things to many people and maybe broadly has come to mean-art made from garbage. Other terms and subdivisions include: poubellisme:  french trash art (art made from contents of "poubelles" (trash bins) garbology-general term for dealing with and/or interacting with Garbage; as in a "garbologist".  Trash poetry--trash plus a stamp. also, trash arranged in a purposeful way to achieve a desired aesthetic.  Junk Art Trash Art Found objects Mail art Omens (see definition below) Civilized and Mystical branch of Trashpoetry--Mail Art Omen-ists: superstitious about  trashpo. It has to be authentic in that it was found, not sought out, and comes  in a way that is  mysterious and serendipitous. It  has to have come from someone other than the finder, preferably an anonymous 'donor'. If the items are too commonly found, they are of no interest. It has to be something that has some meaning to someone even if just for a fleeting moment.  A non-inclusive definition of trashbooks: Trashbooks generally consist of, but are not limited to: shopping lists,  magazine bits, shop slips, reject art, cereal boxes, messages (with and without meaning), typically grungy and messy, torn, tattered,stamped, consisting of multiple textures such as felt, bubble wrap, envelopes, cardboard, ribbon, string, paper towel, dryer sheets, plastic, postcards, vellum, etc. with a binding-typically sewn. What makes a trashbook a trashbook, is that the creator intended it to be a trashbook (with or without the acknowledgement by the book itself that it is a trashbook), and that the materials are things typically discarded, without immediate value, and unconventional in some way. Items can be found, extraneous (spell chick can edit this post), rejected, dejected, forgotten, abandoned, discarded, unappreciated, cast off, put aside, or have hidden value seen only to other trashpo artists, if such a thing exists. Cheryl has recently validated trashbooks as a  genre.trashbooks will appreciated in a whole new way. If trashbooks were a character, they would be the underdog. And some people can not help but root for the underdog.     If anyone has anything to add or subtract please do this is just my input and it really needs an editor!!

Belka, Strelka, and Sloanelka definately deserve a TrashpoLitzer prize for this! Too bad DVS has to make his own award and split it three ways. Congrats to all of you and Nancy, I had an exhibition two years ago of all my garbage and even though it didn't make it internationally, it made me very happy.

As Meikal And so cryptically wrote: "Don't mess with Fluxus." I'll take an offer I can't refuse.

DVS is the first in this group to get his trash into a museum? It's an outrage. The queen should have been first. But look at that piece, though. Quandary.

It's ok then! No housekeeping, no problem.

"The mail artists' right to send trash ends where the addressee's housekeeping begins"
