Mail-art-book
An international mail-art and artist books project.
Curator - Mikhail Pogarsky
Concept: In the 60s mail art developed a separate art
direction and at the same time there was a growth of
interest tin the artist’s book. Mail art and artists’ books of
that time developed in the wake of a protest movement
against the commercialisation of art and the dictatorship
of the gallery system. Most mail artists of the 60s worked
with the artist’s book format as well. Some years ago, these
two areas occupied separate niches in contemporary art, but
the point of intersection between them, of course, remains.
Development of a dialogue between mail art and the artist’s
book is the aim of this project.
Practice: The artists create a mail-art message, dedicated
to the artist’s book, or vice versa - make an artist’s book
dedicated to mail-art. All sizes, all techniques
Exposure: The project will be presented at the 8th Moscow
International Artist’s Book Fair (Moscow, Central House of
Artists)

The Poetry Center plays matchmaker this February. In anticipation of our Poetry Off the Page symposium in May, we want to encourage community to see that poetry isn’t always made up of only words, and we want to highlight the relationship that writers have to artists. In order to elicit partnerships/collaborations between Tucson writers and photographers, painters, videographers, and musicians, curated pairs of local writers and artists have been asked to collaborate create or re-consider the form of “valentines.

Book and paper artists have the ability to work with an enviable palette of artistic materials and techniques—including traditional handicrafts. Think knitting, embroidery, sewing, beading, felting, needlework, stitching, quilting and other myriad possibilities. Combine these techniques and materials with a strong concept, meaningful content or a compelling narrative and we have a new era in the art and fine craft of book and paper.
Come explore how artists are using these crafts in the book and paper arts realm. How do artists utilize these techniques, materials or subjects as a way to round out, illustrate or compliment a central concept? Can we dispel the myth that the handicrafts don’t have any part in meaningful art?”
Uncommon Threads showcases 47 artists from across the United States plus the UK, Canada and Argentina. Featured are 51 finely crafted works, from artist books to broadsides to blank books chosen from 227 works submitted to our call for entries.
Artists Reception: First Friday, October 7, 2011, 5–8:00 p.m.
Artists Walk Through Event: Saturday, October 8, 2011, 4:00 p.m.
