| Comments: | THEATER AND MEMORY
When our ancestors, around the fire in the caves, told their hunting experiences, they enrich their stories with gestures and attitudes to keep the attention of his listeners and further enlarge their experiences. At this point the man created the theater. Thousands of years later, the Greeks created a scenic space, with capacity for thousands of spectators, systematizing the modern theater, to better explain his intricate and multi-religion. Today the theater as space is varied both in size and form of its stages, but still carries the ability to be unique. When watching a theatrical performance, we feel involved and magically carry that experience into our interior. Over time these experiences are like memory, but this is not only our privilege. The theater also brings in its core memory, through centennial and enshrined plays, is provided to record and situate it historically an area of creation and enjoyment.

Thank you for your help. Best, Jeff Rathermel NONE OF THE ABOVE: Assembling, Collaborating and Publishing in the Eternal Network CALL FOR PARTICIPATION In an ambitious assembling-style project, Minnesota Center for Book Arts invites any and all to send 125 copies of anything (within reason – see below) that will fit into a 9” x 12” envelope. This project is in conjunction with MCBA’s upcoming exhibition None of the Above: Assembling, Collaborating and Publishing in the Eternal Network. An assembling project represents the ultimate in democratic art. Everything submitted will be included in the publication (or series of publications, depending on how many people participate). In return for your efforts, you receive a selection of 89 different works created by others who participate. Who’s invited? Artists, writers, printmakers, zinesters, poets, photographers, xerographers, pamphleteers, cartoonists, diagrammers, visualists, mail-artists, transitionalists, minimalists, maximalists, pencilers, stencilers, composers, medics, bookleteers, decoders, conceptualists, transcribers, documentarians, historians, storytellers, manifestoans, CDsters, designers, anti-artists, ventriloquists (make the paper sing!), book artists, book artists who are ventriloquists, whoever so chooses and those chosen – meaning you! Plus, you can exercise reckless editorial control or lack thereof by forwarding this invitation to others. What to send? Any means of expression is fine (paper, CDs, stickers, popsicle sticks) but it can be no larger than 8.5” x 11” (21.6 cm x 27.9 cm) and 1/8” thick (.3 cm). It can be folded, stitched, crushed, flattened, etc. Shrunk-via-shrink-ray submissions are okay. If you need a theme, submissions will be compiled in publications titled “None of the Above.” How’s that for clear direction? How many to send? Submit 125 copies. 89 of these will go to other participants. Additional copies will be archived, distributed to donors/volunteers, and a small number will be sold as a fundraiser for MCBA. What else to send? So that we can send you your copy of the publication, include a sheet of paper with your name and postal address. Also include $5 in U.S. funds – checks payable to Minnesota Center for Book Arts – to cover the cost of envelopes and postage.

It is in this tradition that we present POSTMARKED as our very appropriate fundraiser. Please join us for this international event! Your mail art may be painted, stamped, collaged, printed, and/or otherwise decorated or constructed. It may be any shape and size that will go through the mail and receive an official postmark. It may get worn or torn through the mail, but the handling process is an important part of the theme.. Only the side with the postmark can be displayed, due to space limitations, but the art doesn't have to be limited to that side. You may include any message inside the envelope, which will be opened only by the person who purchases the art envelope. All POSTMARKED 2009 entries will be on display at the Claremont Forum for a week, during which time visitors may place silent auction bids. All sales proceeds go to the Prison Library Project. You may submit more than one piece… and begin sending now! Please address your art to: Postmarked 2009 Prison Library Project 112 Harvard #303 Claremont CA 91711 Submissions must arrive by May 25, 2009 To learn more about Postmarked 2009 and to view POSTMARKED 2008 Entries and Exhibition please visit www.postmarkedmailart.blogspot.com To learn more about the Prison Library Project and the Claremont Forum please visit www.claremontforum.org Exhibit: June 1-7, 2009 The Claremont Forum 586 W First Street (in the Packing House) Claremont CA Hours: noon-4 daily Public Reception: Fri June 5, 5-9pm Auction ends Sunday June 7, 5pm For more information please contact Anne @ Art Work Studio (909) 624-8424 or email anniearts2003@ yahoo.com |
