collecting

Dear artist

This is an invitation to take part in my Mail Art project.

Theme: collecting

Thousands of people have special collections which vary from stamps, coins, wrappers of cigars to meaningful words and fond memories. Why do we collect? And how? Many contemporary artists use ‘the collecting’ to visualise their artistic concept. They also have the ability to put the principles of collecting into one postcard.

Size: 10 x 15 cm, postcard, maximum 2 postcards per artist.
Technique: free
No return, no fee, no selection by jury (pornographic images, violent, racist or insulting works will not be included in the show).
All works must be send by post

All participants will receive a message, please provide your name, surname, address and nationality

Exhibition: 20-02-2011 tot 11-03-2011 in the library of the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (NL). And all works will be posted on blog:

http://libraryblog.vanabbe.nl

A modest catalogue will be published in limited edition

All documentation will be kept in the collection of the library of the Van Abbemuseum.
