Asemic Vispo and Mail Art Call by Rosa Gravino (Canada de Gomez, Argentina)

[De Villo Sloan]

Mail art by IUOMA member Rosa Gravino (Canada de Gomez, Argentina)

May 27, 2015 - Rosa Gravino is a wonderfully talented visual poet and faithful correspondent. She continually works on exhibitions that promote vispo (visual poetry) on a global scale. I have enjoyed working with Rosa Gravino for some time. In particular, I have fond memories of her contributions and involvement in the book projects coordinated with Cheryl Penn (South Africa).

So I am thrilled to have received this postcard-size asemic work by Rosa Gravino. While the asemic elements are pronounced in this piece, I have seen many other fine examples of vispo-asemic hybrid work by Rosa Gravino. Here is the reverse side of the card:

Rosa Gravino included documentation from one of her amazing exhibitions.

Marcela Peral is another excellent visual poet. Here is the reverse side. You can click to enlarge:

Rosa Gravino also included a modified call for more work:
