BONES Installation Art | meatless

Variety of bones colored and arranged into a purposefully organized or disorganized pile of art.

What is leftover from humans after leaving this planet called earth? Bones, meatless bones.

What betray these bones when they are found? Imagine you are a paleontologist on a dig in the Middle of Nowhere. You just uncovered many well-preserved bones in different colors. The challenge is to use clues to determine where these bones come from and this creature belonged to.

Booksbüdel @ Bocksbeutel | Correspondence Art

Roland Halbritter, German historian in culture and art and well known for his projects implemented a project in the International Mail Art Project BOCKSBEUTEL entitled ... so-called "Booksbüdel" for add & return .... 

Description: "This book in leather is a so-called Booksbüdel, a girdle book. It will be the guestbook for the exhibition next year - the word "booksbüdel" is one definition for the word Bocksbeutel. It will be sent out to some artists who want to modify it and send it back. Make a comment if you want to be a participant of it."

I left a comment to be in and on November 10th I´ve got the Booksbüdel from Heinz W. Lotz (Darmstadt, Germany) and took pictures of it for Rolands documentation for the project. The photo above shows how it looks like with stamps, postmarks and rubber stamps. Heinz - yes, the same name as Heinz W. Lotz - our nosily cat, sniffed at it as you can see :)

The next day I created some entries in this lovely guestbook, took pictures for the documentation and prepared it for shipping. Today I went to the postoffice where the grumpy postman said, that I´ll get it back, because of blah blah... Let´s see how it works :)

Beside you can see some of my created pages in the Booksbüdel and I´m pretty happy to be part of this great project! 








In case you are interested to participate too, head over to ... so-called "Booksbüdel" for add & return .... and leave a comment.

TUCKER | Exhibition @ Ember Gallery

I´ve been pretty curious when I became knowledge of the call for submitting a work using an image of Tucker :)

The first submission Protected Tucker is based on my work Protected by Cy, the second shows Tucker riding a bike and the last is a collage with my work Pimped Up Tucker. 

Jon Foster: "In November 2014 I started making Tucker themed collages. Somehow that turned into a worldwide mail-art meme. From Morocco to South Korea people sent collages using Tucker's face."

The opening reception of the Mail Art Show was held on November 6, 2015 @ Ember Gallery (Winston Salem, NC). The exhibition can be visited until the end of November guided by the raffle to win art and possibly a Tucker sheet set from Machine Gun Graphics!

The video gives you a nice overview! If you are in the area don´t miss the show
