ADD & PASS - The X Files

Information

In the Mail Art activity, there are interesting ideas that are explored, like Mail Art Calls, Collaborative Books, Visual Poetry etc, and we also have the ADD & PASS, which are created somewhere in the world by a Mail Artist who send by mail one "object", proposing that it be changed or simply Added an Artistic Intervention by another Mail Artist, appealing that the "object" being referred back to an following artist, chosen randomly or not.The original creator Add its Address on the "object" in hopes that later return him, filled with interventions of Mail Artists from different places and countries, giving him a great satisfaction to see the "object" with a new "life".

This group aims to be the dissemination place to the Add and Pass, and a ARCHIVE of it, however, giving preference to " Booklets",becouse it is here that the individuals have their own space to give wings to is imagination and technique.

Comment by Terry Owenby on March 16, 2015 at 5:15pm: Richard, I forgot to mention in my previous comment. I am going to send my A&P to you. I would be love for you to work on it.

Comment by Terry Owenby on March 16, 2015 at 5:14pm: Such thoughtful, helpful answers from all of you! Thanks so much, Angie, Jan, Mim, and Richard. Richard, I couldn't agree more that it would be nice to have some guidelines. Jan, you have a valid point that caused me to wonder if getting my A&P back home each time should be considered an issue. At least I'm getting it back and able to send it to someone I know will keep it moving. So many interesting thoughts here. I appreciate all of them. What I'm hearing in response to my question is, then, that anything goes. I worry too much. I overthink. :-)
