Exhibition – International Mail Art Call – Exercises to Undo the Judgment of the Body (or to Create a Body without Organs for Oneself)

Greetings,

To participate, follow these instructions to create your postcard:

1. Open yourself to creative disorganization.
2. Break the body’s habitual functions: breathe with your belly, see with your skin, hear with your eyes, touch with your liver.
3. Practice becoming: experiment with in-between social, gender, and professional roles.
4. Let yourself be affected by other stimuli—art, music, substances, meditation, or any means that displace your usual sensibilities.
5. Begin your postcard seeking a living, intensive body. Use pens, pencils, cut-outs, and materialities of your own body—hair, nails, teeth, bodily fluids, or whatever you deem necessary to “undo the judgment of the body.” Create visual poems, object-poems, visual narratives, and other experiments.
6. Optionally, include a letter describing your experience creating this zone of freedom and intensity.
7. Send your materials in a sealed envelope to:
