Books from Nancy Bell Scott (USA) and Marie Wintzer (Japan)

A book: An object filled with pages bound by a cover. Thats what the dictionary says anyway. Could that be a suitable description? No, I'm certain its too finite. Books are living spaces to become immersed in, multifaceted creatures, each holding within a complex set of codes, structures and textual and/or visual experiences. To me they are perfect art vehicles – no matter their form, medium, function or visual presence. “Boekies” is a term we have come to know well at IUOMA – it is an…

ZALOP gains further Fluxus Nuances - from Ruud Janssen.

I always think of Z at the back. The end of the alphabet. The lonely letter with the fewest words. I think Ruud has managed to change this with his Fluxus words. If we made a purely Fluxus Ruud Dictionary – I think Z is coming up top? ZALOP now has a series of variations:

John Bennett and Matthew Stolte - When Partial Words Collide - and adding Jim SantAmour!

John sends me - and others - the most wonderful things :-). I have NO idea why, but they just YELL at me to add to them - I'm sure some of you feel that? John is also a well known ZALOPIST. ZALOPISTS inhabit ZALOP City in the World of Emphatics.
