Zack's Blog (979)

but wait - shouldn't there be an arrow indicating my exact location?

this remote nebula - photographed by the James Webb telescope - definitely qualifies as nonlocal.

thank you for these out-of-this-world…

this packet must have been from Katerina's last round of outgoing mail before her annual summer break

i wonder if Katerina has always been into owls, or does this recurring motif refer to the world of Harry Potter...?

also included, an altered postcard, an alphabet envelope, and the whole entire earth!…

Bon-zine #35: Exciting People to Watch in the New Year! plus a darling little homemade blank book to fill up with... well, Bonnie's suggested a few ideas on the inside cover:

maybe…

non's announcement of non-participation. here's part of his manifesto:

"Mingling Mail Art with surveillance capitalism crosses a red line for me. I believe it’s inconsistent with the values of our network and spirit of oppositional art movements from Dada to Fluxus. I am starting an Art Strike from April 15 until…

Two Men Who Might Be Profiled and "Disappeared" by ICE

love the layers and details on this mixed media card. i'd like to know more about that intriguing image of the Aquarian angel hydrating the... gryphon? i see the numbers (if only!). merci…

'just being weird' - i'd expect nothing less.

thanks Ms. O - see you in the mail soon

this biomorphic drawing from Susan Mabray/Gnaedinger arrived along with a graphic reminder that bad days get better...

i dunno - the older i get, the harder it is to believe that the best is yet to come... 'i weep for the future' but try not to let that prevent me from enjoying the present. yes, be here now but also: always be…

this darling postcard is urging me to Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! - get thee to a post office!

(or, maybe William is encouraging me to catch up with my blogging so i can turn my attention to actually making something ha ha ha)

whichever, thanks; i'll do my…

i wonder if Medwolf has tried tracking down David Zack's children...? 

icymi: here's an interesting take on DZ, written by someone else who was often in contact/cahoots with him:…

The Artist Albert Paris von Gütersloh (Egon Schiele, 1918)

APvG = a mysterious stranger i will now have to seek out...

thanks for this; hopefully you've also received something from me by…

a meticulous little bookie commemorating an important holotypic agricultural project, carried out in conjunction with John Daniel and Nonlocal Variable (see previous blog post).

ironically, the Occlupanids will most likely outlive most of the artwork on this site, but i like to imagine the eternal network will persist even so.…

pretty wild diorama (by nick Cobb?). postmarked April 4, this postcard arrived back in early May, announcing that i'd receive a mini-Nothing booklet, but i'm pretty sure i'd already received nothing from non by that point. this is what happens when mail piles up.

let's - do - the- time warp - agai-ain …

two pages of delightful artistamps -

"Counting Sheep" and "Cloud Cover" - so appropriate for this time of year, when i spend a lot of time in the chaise longue checking out the sky.

and yes, liberty is fragile and always requires maintenance... a while ago i saw some great graffiti: 'the wrong ice is melting/the wrong amazon is…

instead of AImages, this time fike sends on reprints of others' artworks... great way to extend the network. these arrived in an envelope with my old bud's customary hilarious 'horror vacui' treatment -…

these lovely blue (Flux) fish swam over here some time ago... (about two months back?) Katerina is officially on break so i hope she's enjoying real fish at the beach... thanks for all you send, post, comment on, etc. have a wonderful and restorative…

color xerox Add & Pass that's bouncing back and forth between Europe and Brazil; any takers?

tbh, not sure if it will ever leave the studio - it's a 'workflow' issue: here, Add & Pass stuff tends to get overlooked, always moving to the bottom of the heap. and not quite sure how i feel about xeroxed A&P in particular - texture and…

cool multilayered op art from the subreal realm.

i'm seeing a little deeper now; merci

holo-kitty? ];-)

are those red bubbles from pink champagne? i'm in.

danke fur this lovely collage; see you in the mail soon.

scenes from daily life? such a fun postcard; thanks and see you in the mail soon!

Brain Cell #1263

as always, so cool. Mr. Cohen sends mine via sea rather than air, so i get them much later than most folks, it seems. and then, yeah, i get behind with blogging... warm greetings and thanks to all others…
