Asemic Writing for Mail-Artists

Bruno! Beautiful! I am so glad you post here.

Eco-asemics

Rebecca Guyver (Suffolk, UK) sent me a package that is mostly Trashpo, but one of the pieces has some nice asemic symbols: Trashemics, I guess.

Richard Canard (Carbondale, Illinois, USA)

love all the textures and markings 

Welcome Kay Steven - I was hoping you'd find this group. Beautiful asemic symbols and vispo! Thx so much for sharing.

JMB - another one of your puzzlers. Thx for never failing to stretch my mind.

Here's a page from Marie Wintzer's "Letters to Mila" - Japanese cut-ups, shades of Brion Gysin ( the Arabic/Japanese grids).

Some amazing work is being posted here.

nice ones De Villo - espec i like the collage one with kanji -

Asemic trashpo: 

NBS, thanks for the Trashpo Gutai Asemics (Trashemics) and Claudia - looks as if you have made a book there.

JMB - thx for postings & comments - enjoyed the "live" FluxFeast coverage too.

Trashemics are everywhere. But I had to look up Gutai!

These images are great, Bruno Cassaglia, John Bennett, DVS, and Nancy Bell Scott.

Yes, DVS it is an artist book sent to John Bennett

In reference to Gutai - there's been so much about it lately - I am speaking specifically about work that is in the process of decomposition (not the abstract decomposition or deconstruction of Derrida) but actual decay or disintegration. NBS & JMB show signs of that. An interesting idea that asemics can be constructed from the disintegration of forms.

some great stuff from everyone here!

"An interesting idea that asemics can be constructed from the disintegration of forms" sets off fireworks in the brain. Easy to recognize in disintegration, but actually to construct from it...think I know what I'll dream about tonight.

Received a great piece of asemic-vispo from Matt Stolte in Wisconsin, USA. Blogged with commentary here:

Great asimic Matt !!!!!! You have a fantastic work DVS

That by Matt Stolte is a fascinating beauty.

For some asemic diversity, tentatively, a cONVENIENCE (Pittsburgh, PA) has an interesting way of sharing his work with others.

nice one, tENT!

That's dedication. Never a dull moment.

Fantastic DVS

Richard Canard sent me some Corporate Asemic Trashpo with interesting commentary:

Great works DVS and John Bennett

Carlyle (aka Carl) Baker in Canada sent me a big package of his verbal-visual work, which includes some incredible asemix (above). More here:

Fantastic work from Carl!!!!

Claudia, thanks for your contributions to the group and your enthusiasm.

Carl Baker is known in the vispo community, but I did not learn about his work until a few years ago via Karen Champlin right here at the IUOMA. I've been a fan ever since. I have another set I'll blog in the next week.

Thanksssss for the information DVS!!!!!

I received m-a from meeah williams (Brooklyn, NY) built around Antonin Artaud's life and work that has some very fine asemics.

Received Beautiful asemic work from Kerri Pullo Rivera (Tucson, Arizona, USA). Kerri is very influenced by Islamic art/Arabic calligraphy.
