collab from Cheryl Penn!

Participants:

just who came up with the word, 'Assembling'?   Richard Kostelanetz?  Who did the 1st collaborative book in this format?  From  all I can see, the 1st was done by Dana Atchley, but I do not remember him using the word, 'Assembling'.  Maybe Richard C remembers.

Cheryl Penn is no longer making the half A4 boekies, 

but she continues collaborations and postcard-size zines:

"Mail Art makes the World a Town".

Here is the latest one received just this week:

with the Authentic Massacre of the Innocent Image.

Honoring Tiziana with a card sent by Giancarlo fro Cheryl's collab:

The now legendary Asemics 16 collaborative mail art book project had headquarters right here in this group and in the asemics group!

Many members who remain were participants and we share fond memories.

I'm not here to report Asemics 16 is starting a new edition. But Cheryl Penn - who made it all possible - is doing some A 16 re-documentation from her collection. (She's re-issued my intros so sorry for the SSP Shameless Self-Promotion).

You might want to check this out and we'll see if she does more. Extraordinary work came from that project that shouldn't be forgotten:

Hello everyone, as a new member I am open to any project, the ZINES and the Art book, I also like a greeting to all

I spent several years making artist's books and love doing collaborative projects, so please let me know how this group operates. 

I have an idea for a collaborative mail art project that I hope others will be interested in: It is a small group round-robin. Different from Add&Pass in that each collaborative group would have no more than 4 people and there would be some unifying aspect--a theme (e.g., imaginary animals, Winter, dreams, etc.), a format (e.g., book, collage, mixed media, etc.), a color, or anything else that would give the project some unity. It may work best if the members of the group are set before the project starts and decide on the unifying aspect together, but it could also be one person suggesting the unifier and others joining. Person 1 does a start piece and sends it to Person 2, who works on it and sends it to Person 3, etc. After the last person does their work it goes back to Person 1, and it can go around again (and again...), or end at that point. 

   I have some ideas for projects but would like to hear from other Mail Artists who are interested and we can discuss how to proceed.

I'm interested, Susan and Mel Anie. I would be happy to contribute a book or another format to pass. Place is always a theme I'm interested in.

I've been a little away from IUOMA for a couple of months. But I'm back. Please count me in for a round-robin related to Mail Art Books. Thanks!
