ADD & PASS - The X Files

Description

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.

    Hi Amy. In my head I have designated you as my IUOMA expert. I'm hoping you can answer an add, copy and pass question. I am unclear about who actually copies. The order suggests that each person who works on a piece makes a copy and and mails it to all previous people. That doesn't seem worthwhile to me. It seem like it would be better if the originator mailed a copy of the final piece tp all contributors. I have never received a copy of any piece I have worked on, so experience hasn't helped me figure this out. What do you think? Ms. Expert?

  • Amy Irwen

    Haha...hi Susan....you are so right...I never make copies....I am with you, not worthwhile in my book and I have never received a copy of an actually finished AP. I even believe the originators don't know where they are. What I always do is post it on this site...that's all I can do...I keep a scanned copy of all my adds in a file for my use. There is a new add and Pass site on FB which seems to be a little more formal and controlled...I like that...bit I won't stop participating in the X Files.

    Greetings ! I'm looking for the SECOND Add & Pass project "Subject nº2" (the first has already started, you can check its progress here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/427872147325326/), 6 MAIL ARTISTS that would like to participate on it. The reason why i need to know in advance your names, is becouse in past i sent other add & pass and i never received any of theam. In this NEW project i will send new Add & Pass, each one will have a SUBJECT, and you can do anything with it, and of course when finished please return to me. There will be a time, and if i have enough Add & Pass returned, i will make a EXHIBITION of all here in Portugal, in partnership with "TILT"- https://www.facebook.com/TILT.lab (a very recent group of artists), to which I belong and am one of the founders. So if you want to be part of this, i WILL send to one of you this first Add & Pass, and in the same envelope is ONE OF MY Mail Art pieces, that you can see on the picture. p.s. 1st Participant- Luca Fancello;  if possible with FIVE Different Mail Artists of the first.

    Amy, the notebooks are from Dimitra in Greece.  I have one, but promised to send it to Carmela in CA - so if you want it after she gets it, I'll ask her to pass it to you.  I'm sure she will!  It has a lot of pages to fill.

    I love these Add and Pass papers. The circulate until someone finds them so lovely they keep and archive them. Hopefully there is a final destination for the paper where it lands in the right collection. Sometimes the originator gets them back, and when there are enough, it makes a wonderful exhibition of what 'the network' is capable of in creating. I have some lovely samples in the TAM Archive which I should dig out and digitize.....

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Me not a big fan of Add 'n Pass, but just had 3 from Turkey, so have passed on.

    Usually I add and send back to the originator.

    I always wonder where they end up,if they are part of an archive, as even the originator seldom will post that they were received :-(

    ADD & PASS project by TILT lab: TILT Laboratory aims with this project; distribute a certain number of "Add & Pass" with a specific theme in which each participant can only use one “page” of it. Upon receipt all ADD & PASS or part of them (this because we must always count with the factor "lost" when speaking about the postal service) will be done an exhibition in the future installations of TILT Lab in Portugal. For more informations go to: https://www.facebook.com/TILT.labyou can also join the EVENT on facebook:
