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.

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
Prison Library Project
112 Harvard #303
Claremont CA 91711

Submissions must arrive by May 25, 2009
