Comments:The July issue of The Postal Press will be about personal transitions & 'starting over'. It seems to me that many people are in the process of reinventing themselves, their careers, and their relationships right now & I'm looking for mail art that illustrates that journey. Consider imagery like stairs, doors/portals, windows -- or dusk (the transition between day and night), a horizon (the visual line between water & sky, or land & sky) -- or ghosts (entities caught between life and death). Think outside the box. Please submit mail art of any shape, size and medium to:

All art will be documented on my blog: www.serendipityart.squarespace.com and some of it will be included in issues of The Postal Press (specifically the next issue, which has a projected print date of July 23, 2009, so please submit artwork no later than 7/10/09.

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.

Where to send: None of the Above, c/o Minnesota Center for Book Arts, 1011 Washington Ave South, Suite 100, Minneapolis, MN 55415

Deadlines: If we receive submissions by August 21, 2009, they will be displayed as part of the associated exhibition. To be included in the publication, submissions must be received no later than October 24, 2009.

A special collating event will occur at MCBA on Saturday, October 24, 2009. For those who would like to participate, you may bring your 125 copies that evening rather than mailing. There is no fee. Please email Jeff Rathermel, MCBA’s Artistic Director (jrathermel@mnbookarts.org) by October 16, 2009 if you will be participating. Arrive at 7 pm, assembly lines commence at 7:30 pm.

If you have questions about the publication, contact Jeff Rathermel at jrathermel@mnbookarts.org. To learn more about Minnesota Center for Book Arts, visit www.mnbookarts.org.

Call for Artwork

POSTMARKED 2009
Fifth Annual International Art Envelope Fundraiser Exhibition and
Silent Auction
June 1-7, 2009

Requesting your original mail art for display and sale to raise funds
for The Claremont Forum's Prison Library Project, which sends
thousands of books free to inmates throughout the country. Hundreds
of volunteers package books (donated to the Project by our local
community), which are then mailed in response to inmate letters
requesting reading material while incarcerated. For many years, The
Claremont Forum received these requests in hand-illustrated envelopes
created by the prisoners who sent them. 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

Comments:The Art of Communication: An Installation of Mailed Art

(Swainsboro, GA) – Gallery RFD seeks submissions for it upcoming exhibition titled The Art of Communication: An Installation of Mailed Art.
Gallery RFD presents its 3rd annual exhibition of The Art of Communication: An Installation of Mailed Art. The Grange movement of the late 1800’s helped create RFD (Rural Free Delivery) by lobbing for the postal service to deliver mail to the peoples of rural communities as they did their urban clientele. Gallery RFD similarly advocates offering rural residents the same resources and access to the arts that urban areas already have.
The Art of Communication is an exhibition about using opportunities, like the mail system, that our forbearers fought for so that we might more freely communicate our ideas, emotions, and expectations with each other. Artists of all ages, skill level, and geography are asked to create work on any item that
can be sent through the postal service. Awards will be given for: Best of Show, Farthest Traveled, and the "Outside the Box" award. All works submitted will be exhibited.
Submission deadline: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 4 p.m. (EST)
Exhibition runs Jan. 10 - Feb. 7, 2009
Opening Reception: Jan. 10, 2009, 5-8 p.m.

Further details and prospectus available on the Gallery RFD website: www.galleryrfd.org

Comments:“Particulates Matter”

Particulate Matter (PM) in the air can cause or worsen lung disease and heart disease, especially in the elderly and very young. In the USA, tens of thousands of people die prematurely due to PM every year, and countless more suffer. PM is a much more serious problem in developing nations with fewer pollution controls. Please help increase awareness about PM by participating in the mail art exhibition “Particulates Matter”.

PM is divided into two categories - PM up to 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and PM up to 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). As a play on this, artwork should be about 10cm X 10cm or 2.5cm X 2.5cm for 2-D artwork, or about 10cm X 10cm X 10cm or 2.5 cm X 2.5 cm X 2.5 cm for 3-D artwork. Artwork will be exhibited along with a scale model of a human hair (80 cm diameter) to emphasize how tiny these particles are.

Art can be on the theme of PM itself (depicting or made with PM), PM sources (diesel exhaust, wood smoke, industry, etc.), the health effects of PM (asthma, heart attack, stroke), or artwork can simply be ‘a breath of fresh air’ (no theme, but still meeting size requirements). Any technique may be used – collage, photography, drawing, painting, artist’s stamps, sculpture, assemblage, and so on. All art received will be posted at:

http://scottrayrandall.blogspot.com/

An exhibition is to be held in Sacramento, CA on Earth Day 2009. Documentation will be provided online. Other exhibitions and future publication of material is possible depending upon opportunities and the response to this call. No jury, no fee, no returns. Please send art with your name, address, and email to:
