ADD & PASS - The X Files

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.

Hey all, I am taking a break from the Add and Passes. I am wanting to do some collaborations with one or two people. And, who knows one of these days I may rejoin the group again. It's been fun.

Oh, no, I didn't get this message from Carolyn Cline and just sent her an envelope of add and pass. oooops. 

I'm gradually getting through a pile of received (since March) mail art, including Add and Pass. Slowly but surely, I will get to everyone who's sent me mail. I've just been busy doing postcards to get out the votes here in the U.S. It's been keeping me grounded. But here's an altered vintage card collage that I did last week.

Take care, Carolyn, and all the luck of the world...

Maybe you can set your account to private, so all of your efforts until now won't get lost?

Comment by Amy Irwen on September 9, 2019 at 5:03pm
