MAKE IT AGAIN,
Sam

I still have a recipe box.  Yep.  When I find a recipe I love or make a masterpiece that warrants an official record, I write it down on an index card and stash it in my recipe box.  Why do I feel like I just confessed to some horribly illicit activity?  Well, if you still illicitly work with paper in some way, here’s a curated international open Call for works on paper.  Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Hungarian Multicultural Center (Dallas, TX & Budapest, Hungary) for Library Thoughts 4, a juried exhibit at the Hegyvidek Gallery in Hungary from August 26 – September 06, 2014.  Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Library Thoughts 4

 

Johann Gutenberg’s invention of movable type books ignited the explosion of art.  These days the printed books that were previously published by publishers now can be read on line as ebooks.

What is the future? 

 

Instead of having to interact with computers through not-so-intuitive and sometimes even counter intuitive devices like a computer mouse or track pad, soon users will be able to control their computers doing natural human movements such as gestures, whole-body movement, eye movement, and perhaps even such things as facial expressions.

Is it the end for books as we know them?  Question the survival of paper, books, libraries in this digital age.  The process of sending artworks through the mail, with the envelope, the stamp and the postmark as entire part of the mail-art-object make this process to what we call MailArt.

 

Editor’s Note:  Once again, this is only Mail Art in the sense that most of the art will be mailed for the show.  Unlike traditional Mail Art shows, any unsold work will be returned in December. 

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:  Artist books, works on or of paper may be any size, but MUST fit in a 9″ X 12″ (22.9X30.5cm) envelope. Unmated, unframed photography, drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, mixed media, cast or folded paper, multimedia or digital prints.

DEADLINE: March 31, 2014
