Call for Mail Art - Theme: Visual Poetry - from Cathy Bennett
CALL for MAIL ART
THEME: VISUAL POETRY
DEADLINE: August 1st, 2010
Mail Art received will be exhibited at SKYLAB in downtown Columbus OH USA
during August 2010 during the Avant Writing Symposium at The Ohio State
University (symposium is being organized by my spouse, John M Bennett-
curator of the Avant Writing Collection-part of OSU library's Rare Books &
MSS Library). As a tribute to John, who will retire from OSU sometime around
the end of this year, SKYLAB will concurrently exhibit a retrospective of
JMB's visual poetry. Our son, John Also Bennett, the main curator for
SKYLAB, will install JMB's vispo show, and I'll install the mail art show &
do the documentation. A collaboration table set up by Jim Leftwich and other
performances will happen at SKYLAB Saturday night (time TBA) August 21st
during the Avant Writing Symposium- so some participants from the OSU Avant
Writing Symposium will be there and will see the mail art show...and may
even send in their own contributions. Hopefully, I'll have lists of
addresses available as handouts to anyone who might want to start or carry
on m.a. correspondences with participants in the m.a. show. Feel free to
include blog or website addresses you'd like to share, along with your
mailing address or email address.
Mail Art Vispo contribution(s) (no size limits; no quantity limits; no
returns; All will eventually become part of the Avant Writing Collection at
OSU) to:
