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.

    The fun in the digital times is you can see in-between versions of the works and also see what happens to the works when we publish the versions we worked on and passed on to someone else.

    I received an Add and Pass yesterday from Kathy Barnett.  Thank you, Kathy. Although I can clearly see whose contributed so far and there's lots of room so no problem passing it on.... but. . . I can't for the life of me see where it is to be returned to when it is done.  ?????

    Russian artists are discussing the ADD & PASS method. Many participated, but no one saw the complete result.

     

    Colleagues! Friends!

    Have you ever seen the finished result of the ADD & PASS method? Where is this work now?

    Let's discuss the issue.

     

    Los artistas rusos están discutiendo el método de ADD & PASS. Muchos participaron, pero nadie vio el resultado completo.

    Colegas. Amigos.

    ¿Alguna vez has visto el resultado final de un método de ADD & PASS? ¿Dónde está este trabajo ahora?

    Vamos a discutir el tema.

    This is an add and pass that came to me from Carolyn Cline. There are nine artists who have put art on this page.  I feel like it is done.  Does it go to the Museum of Mailart in Ukraina?

  • Mim Golub Scalin

    Send it to Jon Ronson. He’ll make it into little books and you’ll get one. His address posted in Facebook add and pass group thread.
