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.

    Amy, I'm glad to see the poetry A&P from Don Hora posted here. I received one also and didn't know what to do with it. Are we supposed to add poetry, then? This is my first time with one of these. Thanks!

    I recieved some pretty great add & pass. I would love to upload some photos of them here. Can someone please share the secret to how you add photos to the group comments? I can't seem to figure it out (: thanks

    Samantha, at the top of the Comment box, there's a blue bar. On that bar, second from left, is an icon that, when hovered over, says "Image". Click on that, then "Choose File". You can then choose photos from your computer. Hope this helps.

    Thank you, Amy, for your help on the poetry A&P. :-)

    Thanks from me too, Terry. I do everything from my phone and there's no blue bar above comment. Any hints for those using a phone? In the phone the comment bar is at the bottom but there is nothing else, no image space, etc.

    I think you have to upload differently from a phone...check on the New to IUOMA on the very top bar...not sure how you do it tho...

    Hello fellow add & pass artist. The first add & pass book was a great success. I'm so excited the eager to do another one. I want to start putting a list together. I have a pretty large blank book. Who's in?  Please feel free to join our group "Thee Althoff Trans-Atlantic book club". I usually use a predetermined list and provide all the postage for the US people (since I can't for other countries). Anyways would love to have the next one be even bigger! Feel free to comment here or message me if you would like to participate.
