 WAITING LIST: We encourage people who want to participate to add your name, even after we reach the 20 mark. Experience shows that the line-up is "in flux" at the beginning.

The book page format will be the same as for the Asemic collaborations (1-3) - 2 sheets folded A4 - ie 8 sides. You will need to make 20 copies and post to each person on the list - the addresses will be added to this discussion once we have got confirmation from all the participants. Again - these collaborations only work if everyone commits and endures!

Hi Friend!) My Book projekt fairy tale "Elza and Bonna'

 Elza and Bonna.

 

Fairy tale  by Svetlana Pesetskaya

 

It is devoted to my friends

To artists - to men to angels.

1 South Russian biennial

The city of Rostov-on-Don 2010.

 

Young lady Elza and Bonn have gone from the small town N city on art fair in the spring morning. On the journey they stirred much and had fun in a presentiment of interesting and significant event for them. As characters of maidens didn't differ inertness and to indifference to the world surrounding them with them, and there was that fairy tale filled with joyful both sad impressions and events to which each of them as fiduciary from each other aspired.

In one of palace halls, the rare collection of books everyone of them has been presented was in one copy and everyone bore the magic, refined world. But Elza and Bonn have chosen this more similar to the steel house, with mechanisms, windows, door and a magnificent spiral staircase, as if carried away in heavens...

Hello :-) X

Happy Monday Morning to all the IUOMA VISPOETS. I hope you’re feeling inspired at this exciting project – I for one am. Have you decided on a theme – an artist you are inspired by ? Should we tell or not ?

 

Feliz el lunes por la mañana a todo el IUOMA VISPOETS. Espero que se sienta inspirado en este proyecto emocionante – yo para uno soy. ¿Ha decidido en un tema – un artista que usted es inspirado por? ¿Debemos decir o no?

 

Счастливое утро понедельника ко всему IUOMA VISPOETS. Я надеюсь, что Вы чувствуете себя вдохновленными в этом захватывающем проекте - я для каждый. Вы выбрали тему - художника, которым Вы вдохновлены? Мы должны сказать или нет?

Dear visual poetry comrades, I am not attempting Shameless Self-Promotion (SSP). I posted a blog about visual poetry today that contains some ideas (and examples) of vispo to the best of my knowledge. I hope it might be helpful to the project. Otherwise, I'll go back to the IUOMA Self-Absorption Ltd. group.

If you would be on Facebook I would reply with I LIKE! By the way the afterword on a new collection of visual poems by Rea Nikonova is quite interesting (written by Bridget Penney, UK) If you cannot read scans, let me know, I’ll mail copies

 

Guido - thank you - an interesting read :-) X

Do we need to be friends for me to see this blog?

Anyone got anything to show us?? :-) X

Nooooo, still thinking (about Gerhard Richter) ... I can't believe that you are already ready!!!

;-)

Svenja, lets have a look see then???? Great choice for vispo :-) X

Yes, now I'm on a roll, trying to get it ready tomorrow!!!  Will upload photos... ;-)) 

FAB!!!! Post some here and on sneak previews :-) X

Cathey R. Bayless (USA) - Is this how you add your name to the list?
