ADD & PASS

Hi all I have some FluXus Bucks ready to head on. Anyone interested? Let me know please. Follow link https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3752794854747564&id...

A a newcomer to add n passes items. (in my previous life before IUOMA I did a lot of deco booklets, in which each artists took a whole page to make a collage or assemblage art and then signed it with an email or name discretly along the side.

Im very new to add n passes and i have a few already in my hands ready to add n pass on, but one thing. I like the idea of adding a print/artistamp or a scrappy assemblage peice, with the intention that everyones bits merge into one glorious peice of art. but as i dont have a neat little stamp to mark my art handle or name, Im not sure where im meant to add my name, or if dont do it.

Hi Jennifer, thanks for your thoughts on the subject. I think I will learn to love my handwriting along side my stamped or assembled images. lol.

Also with fluxus bucks, is the front and the back to be added to, or is the back for signing?

pretty sure the sky's the limits... live a little.. lol

WE control the means of production!..  ;)

Cool, the add n pass were a new thing to me and i was a little out of my comfort zone at first, but im getting the hang of them now

This one has clearly been floating around anyone a While... anyone know who started it as I’d like to return it... 

Jenn, that is an oldie. I recognize some of the names, people who are still in the "game." You may just have to archive it. I've done that with a couple in the past. 

You can also send "orphaned" add-and-pass sheets to Josh Ronsen. He's here on IUOMA.

He makes wonderful little zines out of these sheets and sends them out as mail art trades. I've got a couple in my collection and they are fun!

Made new stamps and new add+pass sheets, happy to send anywhere... just let me know! ;)

Does anyone know a Pam Chatfield in or near Lowell, MA? Her name had popped up somewhere on an add and pass. I sent her mail back in January and today, it was returned to me. Unable to forward, return to sender. I haven't had this happen in a long time. 

OK, I need to request no more Add n Passes for a while. I  dont have as much spare time as id like but im finding myself getting a bit swamped with add n passes, and am not getting any time to do other forms of mail art such as atcs, and suchlike - which is what i returned to the world of mail art to do.

please dont send me anymore add/passes. i will continue to send the ones ive already got but no more from now on unless i privately request in a chat to someone.

thank you for reading.

Will make a note Heather *!*

Thank you Amy, i might do some in the future, but i currently need some time away from them :-)

Do I correctly understand Add and Pass to mean I send (or get) a piece of art, the recipient adds to it, and then passes it on to someone else of their choice? If that's not right, please explain how it works. Thanks!

I have time this month, Jo.

i'm open to add and passes.. :)

I'm happy to get one.

My mailbox is always open, just make sure you use the newer address on my profile ;) 

I just received an envelope with four xeroxed pages, with a few stickers added on to them. And names/addresses of three or four people. It's not clear to me how many people have been involved in this add&pass. Do I assume that those four people are the only ones who have sent/received this and send my addition to a new person I can pick from the group list? Or what?

Susan, if there is still room to add something, add and pass along.

If whatever you add makes you feel is finished, try to pass it back to the person who created it. 

Cheers! 

It's not clear to me who created it.  Also, how come I am getting xeroxes rather than the original pages?

There are some mail artists who ask that participants xerox and keep their own copy, and sometimes they just send out the “copies” for different added results.

I second what Jo said, you can post pictures here.

In addition, there are add and passes that are sometimes unable to be returned to the original owner. You can post them here and “archive” them for your collection. 

Let me share my experience. At some point, I decided that now I will always finish the image, after which I will return the sheet to the initiator, and I will never again be one of the many stations on the way. Only completion, with maximum expression! (And only once did I break this oath).

Thanks, all. Here's a photo (sorry it's so big) of what I received. Can anyone identify themself as the initiator?

Mim, or anyone, could I ask for a bit more info on Dennis? I was reached out by him as well and got some mail from him...he reached out via my instagram and we were discussing erotic art (someone that doesnt bother me) but then he deleted the IG account and a couple days later I received mail. When I googled the return address (I was getting some weird vibes and was just curious) it showed a construction site lol. I'm all for the mystery of mail art (especially the kind that I imagine predated the internet and our ability to find out more about each other) but I keep seeing comments on here about how he seems to be a controversial mail-artist, and I just want to know if its worth my time continuing a correspondence with this person or not. This is not meant to stir drama, I am happy continuing this convo via inbox if prefered. Thanks! :)

**i meant (something that doesnt bother me) not someone... in my previous comment

Thanks, Mim. I found Josh's address and I'll send this cluster on to him. The postmark on the envelope was Tampa/St. Pete. Does that confirm Dennis Gergen? This was actually the second A&P I received in this style, but the first (also from Tampa/St.P) was so cryptic and unidentified that I'm afraid I consigned it to the circular file. I have to say that I don't find these very artistic and would just as soon not get them.

Glad to  have my instinct confirmed.

I recycle those, too.

If I remember correctly, his last name is "Gergel."

I've also received envelopes containing sheets like those from Tampa/St. Pete with a "Shirley Gergel" return address. I suspect that those are really from Dennis G.

More for the recycle bin.

Speaking of Josh Ronsen's project: I've received two of those little zines that he made from add-and-pass sheets and they are great!

Whenever I get a sheet that looks full but I can't figure out who started the add-and-pass, I send it to Josh.
