Truly cerealism, ARAC (Cara Harrison), US

[Carina]

Always very playful and gives a fun (ironic) perspective on human - Long live the cerealism! Thank you Cara, I dig this verry much!

Arac, we Cerealists do face hazards others don't understand.

 

Yip, I have bags of cereal in the cupboard with the boxes gone or huge holes cut into them. Dw is a Froot Loops & Mountain Dew type - so I collect his discarded boxes. I eat the cereal right out of the bag for snacks to try to make room so I can purchase more cool boxes. It's an obsession now.

 

On Trashpo runs - out in the street - I'm just not finding cereal boxes, which is a problem. So I'm turning some of the cerealist pieces into ATCs (copies) so they stretch further.

Aww, thanks. I plucked this box out of my friends recycle bin...she thought I was nuts but it was very cute and it made this and 2 arty slides for the carousel. 

Do you have the self control to eat the cereal first or is your cabinet full of clear bags with sharpie titles like mine???

[De Villo Sloan]

You're doing great things with it, Arac.

 

Rumor has it that cereal boxes & mail-art go back to Ray Johnson & the NY Correspondence School, but that has not been 100% established. It certainly has roots in PopArt, you know, the Warhol soup can - so it, strangely, has a distinguished history.

 

Jack Spicer also worte "serial poems" & now we're changing that to Cereal Poems in Trashpo.

 

Yeah, suddenly I notice I'm consuming huge quantities of surgary cereal. I don't read the labels; I choose it for the box art.

Diane~no doubt there is a snack attack nightly...the only question is cereal or oreos/milk?

[Arac]

I am addicted to crap kid cereal...it gives me alot to work with.  Thanks for turning me on to the whole cerealism thing De Villo, it's been fun to see what I could do with these boxes.  If only I could wait til I was done with the cereal to destroy the boxes... ;)

Arac is a master Cerealist!

Love it! I think Arac has a bit of an obsession with sugar cereal-another midnight snack perhaps?
