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.

Please do not post any of my add/pass sheets sent out - I suspect there is a copyright issue, or Ruud is intervening. These were not started by Ruud and were intended to celebrate the 25 years of his IUOMA, nothing more. I apologize for any inconveniences.

Amy, can you give me a wording example? I'm dying to know more....thanks much.

This group has always posted as documentation of the add n passes that are sent and received. If there is deviation from this set process then it needs to be noted on the original.
Is it your work that is copy-write? If so, then by you participating, you have given your permission for this work to be publicized..
And that is the end of my input to this discussion...
