MAIL ART CALL 2020

[Luíza Marcolino]

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the time window for receiving works will be extended indefinitely and the opening date of the final exhibition will be rescheduled according to changes in the gallery’s calendar, probably for the end of this year. The uncertainties and anxieties triggered or intensified by the quarantine have been difficult to bear in solitude. For this reason, I propose to find in this call not only a way of recording the reality now (even though everything done today is exactly that), but also a possibility for reconnecting to memories from before, to new and old dreams, to distant people and with to a world that keeps revolving.

Participation is open to everyone and all the received works will be exhibited (except for those disrespecting the human rights). The call, Re-volver, overlaps the verb and the noun: revolver (in portuguese, the act of revolving, turning over, displacing, changing positions) and revólver (in portuguese, a specific type of handgun), but does not delineate a theme. Plus, during the exhibition, it is expected that all the received pieces will be offered in their original envelopes to visitors, to be freely handled and “revolved” by them. The authors who wish to have their names included in the promotional material must simply identify themselves.

Please, stay safe and send your work to:
