Hello Cheryl, thank you, I will be in the next if possible, thank you!

 

Comment by cheryl penn Hello Andrea - there will be another, for sure - Watch this Space :-)

I have blogged the binding instructions. No doubt it will soon disappear off the main page, but will remain the first blog on my page.  Many thanks to everyone who participated again.  Its a FAB X !0 :-)

Where are all of you?? Now that summer is there for you have all forgotten us down here in S hemisphere and we are cold and needing communication!!! How are the books going?

Lesley :-) - yes it SURE is MIZ here! Yes - good question - how ARE the books going? And where are the pics of the finished ones on Lesley's discussion?? I think everyone is out enjoying spring or something while we begin to hibernate!

Solo me faltan algunos capítulos para completar mi libro.

Me encantó éste proyecto. Esta ha sido mi primera experiencia en la cual se comparte todo el proceso de la obra y eso es verdaderamente enriquecedor!

Mil gracias a todos y en especial a Cheryl y De Vilo!

En diciembre lo exhibiré en el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Cañada de Gómez  

Rosa - thank you :-) - please name which chapters you do not have - perhaps the artists can make copies for you. It will be great to see this book go on exhibition at the end of the year - COMPLETE! - thank you :-)

ASEMIC COLLABORATIVE BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT

 

De Villo Sloan and I want to coordinate the production of a book of asemic writing. Members of this group, in particular, are encouraged to consider participating. But it's open to all IUOMA members.

 

We need 12 people. 

 

If you are interested, put a message in this thread indicating you would like to join.

 

We need at least 12 people.

 

More details forthcoming.

Please note: As we anticipate more than 12 participants there will be a volume 2 running at the same time. The title and format of the book are to be announced.

WOW,WOW,WOW AND THANK YOU. We have an All-Star line-up of artists who are interested in contributing their work to ASEMICS 12. Here's where it stands:

Asemics 12 (edition 1)

 

John M. Bennett

Rosa Gravino

Bifidus Jones

Diane Keys

Mary Anne

Ginny Lloyd

Bruno Neiva

Cheryl Penn

De Villo Sloan

Mariska van den Heuvel

Guido Vermeulen

Imelda Wubben

Marie Wintzer

 

It now looks very likely that there will be an Edition #2 also and perhaps more. So contact Cheryl and/or me if you are interested. The schedule isn't worked out yet, but the editions will be released at different times, so there is flexibility in terms of how this works in your schedule.

 

Cheryl is a master at the administrative part of this, so you will get more specific info on that subject soon.

 

I am THRILLED! We've attracted some incredible talent here. I'll probably write the intro. and I am looking forward to that!

Is it to late for me to join? Will love to have this experience.

I have NOT abandoned this group :-) - I am updating the collaborative book list - Asemics #3 as and when new artists come forward. If you need more info - please get hold of me :-)

I would like to participate when you start a new book project. Looking forward to it!

Hello Svenja - welcome :-) - all thats on offer at the moment is a waiting list for an asemic book - see De Villo Sloans Asemic Group book # 4 discussion X

Let's gather here for a PARTY? Happy Birthday Cheryl xx  OPA!

I want to participate!!!!! Please!

As soon as the Asemic Project is finished there will be another collaborative book - so hang tight :-) X

Holitas

 

que tal Cheryl  estuve mirando tus trabajos el el blog y pagina y son fantásticos.

También estaría bueno otro libro colectivo, para cuando termine asemic.

Salud!!

 

What ever happened to the Windmills of your Mind project??? I received boekies from Lauriana, Cheryl, Marie, Katerina and Angie ages ago....where are the rest? Who has dropped out? I want to bind it!

Just saw your message tonight,Lesley, about The Windmills. I, too, was hoping to collect them all and bind them into a boekie...however, two have never arrived: from Sloan and from TestTower :-(

Question, i like creating artbooks, isn't it expensive to co-create and send several copies out to other participants. To 12 or 16 others.

Not that i am stingy, but not well off either, yes i am very honest.

 

Gabriel - some of the projects have involved 16 x 4 people - THAT got expensive for sure :-) - I will be placing another call here soon - but, completion of the Asemic books is first priority.  Katerina and Lesley, Marie, Angie, Lauriana - how about each of us making another contribution and then binding? Or whoever WANTS to can just post to each other? I agree its a little thin still. I am happy to make another set?

¡Buenos días Samuel - SI! ¿Espero otro trabajo cooperativo de libro - participará? Sólo quiera conseguir UN libro de asemic completado y bloguea la encuadernación. Tenga un el domingo bueno :-) X (Google Translation!!)

ANOTHER "Windmills"? sure...maybe next week...gotta slice some onions for it " ( "like a circle in a spiral...;-) 'Will add a bit of the new asemic, too!

But finishing up a new mini series first:

Is that ok, hmmmm?

 

Looking good Katerina!

Hi Cheryl,

I want to participate to the next collaborative book project.

*-*

Lauriana - you ARE excused - you have sent two already - a GOOD example for us to follow :-)

The wind is still blowing in the windmills of Mykonos...

and in the reeds and "tall Greek blue grass" by my shack...

and the tune is still in the circles -of-my-mind!

and the letters are still on the wall...

Super, John! there is that elusive "B"...or not to B?

Ahh,  the moment - OnWord John has given the clue to the next collaborative book, does he, does he not know????  But we have to keep you all in suspenders until at least ONE of the Asemic Books is FINISHED! I think E serves well!  I also think E  has the MOST copies of the asemic books!! I'm a tad jealous to say the least!!! In a good way of course :-) - I hope you're keeping an eye on E's blog! :-) X

Asemics #4 from Cheryl.... great use of new materials - grey plastic pages covered in Cheryl's ininimate scrawly writing and symbols. A good start to our books! Thanks Cheryl.

I know most of you are still in production of #4 so hope this inspires you!

Sorry I just saw there is a reflection on Cheryl's cover so it is hard to see so here's another pic of the front - now you can see that a piece of Pollock has crept into the book, making it VERY VALUABLE!!!!

:-))) - LMF - you make me laugh - YES it is valuable!!! The Pollock painting!! I was wondering if his paintings weren't a form asemic writing - in fact I think they were! Two types of test papers for test writing - photograph test and x-ray test -  :-) X

They dont use Xray film anymore - the images go straight onto disc now - so Xray film is also VALUABLE..... save all your old Xrays for mailart!

You're kidding! I will have to pull a few more strings at the hospital...

Into wood block printing these past days...soooooo "spirals-of-my-maind" coming up for new "Windmills" ;-) (left-over pine wood block pieces, will carve all sides, me thinks!)

...my main mind? (where is that spell chick?)

Divine Katerina! My sister has just given me a present of 4 little wood block stamps that she bought for me in London at the V&A museum, not spirals though! William Morris patterns so I will be using them in mail art soon.... I LOVE printed pieces. Looking forward to your next windmills! I havent even thought about what to do.

EEEK!!! I'm getting so far behind :-(!

Hmmm, let's see, Cheryl: you doing all 4 of the Asemics 16 x 8 x 4 = 212 pages... plus setting up the "World  is a Town" exhibit...plus...teaching...plus!!! You are not "Far behind", you are WAY AHEAD! ;-)

MomKat :-) - thank you PHEW!!! Yes, you're right, I had not  looked at it quite like that - thank you :-) XX

Just pace yourself, kiddo, we don't want you hitting a wall or anything ;-)

Relax by a room-with-a-view?

Yes please! Asemics #5!

I don't get notices from the IUOMA groups, etc., in my email inbox, so I must come by the Main Page and check out what's up. That Asemics#5 must have been the faster sign-up in the history of mail art! 'Sorry that Jim had to drop out (yeah, right), but I am IN! (it must be way too early in the morning for me to have just done that ;-0 ) Starting tall, LONG, vertical pages today..."syntax" = a really 100% Greek word, yes siree!

FASTEST sign up in mail art history...an the spell check is still sleeping, as I should be, but not.

Hello

Tomorrow, I'll post my mails.

I hope not too late.
