June 26, 2011 - After a weekend of "The Grigster Walks Among Us," vispo, and asemic writing, it was a pleasure indeed to simply enjoy some tried-and-true, reliable Fluxus mail-art from Tiziana. This packet, received some time ago, included her chapter for Cheryl Penn's (South Africa) Project 26 collaborative book project. I by no means blogged every chapter. I'll probably blog a few more from this historic effort. Here are a few selected scans from Tiziana Baracchi's chapter:

 

Great concrete poetry by a Fluxus artist. Fluxus artists, of course, have many different styles and approaches. Taziana's work seems familiar to me, inviting, and lacking pretense.

 

 

Tiziana also included this great stamp sheet depicting some well-known Fluxus-mail-artists:

 

A belated thanks, Tiziana, for this chapter and mail-art. Tiziana is involved in all kinds of interesting projects, most recently some interesting work with poetry. Also a good chance to practice your Italian:
