Announcing THE NEXT TO LAST OR POSSIBLY ONLY TRASHPO ANTHOLOGY (Anthology of World Trashpo)

Possible cover for the THE NEXT TO LAST OR POSSIBLY ONLY TRASHPO ANTHOLOGY (Anthology of World Trashpo)

 

In an effort to cash in and ride on the coattails of the huge success of the new The Last Vispo Anthology edited by Crag Hill and Nico Vassilakis, I am trying to put together THE NEXT TO LAST OR POSSIBLY ONLY TRASHPO ANTHOLOGY. This will be a book that showcases the greatest Trashpo that has been produced so far. They're selling their anthology on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Last-Vispo-Anthology-1998-2008/dp/1606996266

The Trashpo anthology could be printed cheap on LuLu or somewhere and might create enough brand confusion to sell a bunch of copies. (Contributors are not being asked for front money! Only to contribute your work. You are "the talent"!). Trashpo will triumph with "every day low prices."

Unfortunately, I have never put together an anthology. So I am asking for help. If you would be willing to have your Trashpo included in THE NEXT TO LAST OR POSSIBLY ONLY TRASHPO ANTHOLOGY, could you you post a scan in the comment stream below? If you know of any classic Trashpo by other artists, could you name the artist and the work? I am pretty sure you have to get permission from people before you use their work in an anthology. The whole thing can be assembled using scans.

(The anthology is not meant to be confused with my two other books in progress TrashPoEtics and The DeKadence of Trashpo.)

SO PLEASE! POST WORK TO BE INCLUDED IN THE NEXT TO LAST OR POSSIBLY ONLY TRASHPO ANTHOLOGY. (Please give works a title!)

Can't post,don't have the tech. could i send it to someone to post????

Great Neil, couldn't be "a compendium of the world's best trash poets" without you. It will take some time to assemble, so pick out the work you want to put in. I have some scans on your work, in fact.

I'd like to include a bunch of work by each person. 

Pick what ever you want to scan DVS, i trust your judgement...

Thank you, Erni. I was hoping you would be willing to contribute. I'm strongly considering using one of your crushed cans on the cover, as they are so iconic.

I'll start to map out a Table of Contents when we get some more contributors.

Again, thanks. And if anyone should think this is a prank - it's not!

Fantastic Erni. 

For anyone considering submitting: These can be older pieces you've already sent out. I just need a good scan - Erni has submitted some of his classics, which is perfect.

Great idea DVS-feel free to use any of my pieces. Maybe people could just post a 'release' letting you use their work as you are very good at assembling  and keeping track of photos etc.

Thanks for your blessing DK.

 

I am going to go through the group discussion threads & TrashPo Litzer winners & contact people for permission to use their work. I also want to gather material from anyone who posts something & I will use it. I will try to keep a sort of working draft here so people can see how it evolves.

 

This won't happen overnight, but I am going to chip away at it.

LoL,

Only because of the title THE LAST (what a pretention) I am boycotting the VISPO edition and shall NEVER purchaSE A COPY.

I understand the humor of this reaction  but hey, is this the ???? approach,

name it for example the last trashpo anthology till the next one comes around with full support of the present trashpo-ers or something like that...

Guys, we have to kick the assholes in the nuts who think that the universe (of vispo, of mail art, of politics, and so on) END with their own navel cord. Pleeeeaaaasssssse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting comment, Guido.

 

This is a working title for sure. I have wanted to do a Trashpo collection of some sort independent of The LAST Vispo Anthology. And now that Vispo is over, I guess Trashpo is all that's left.

 

Again, I appreciate your points. I do, personally, like the last vispo anthology and don't see this as a reaction.
