Are proud to organize the X. SpanishFlu International Mail Art Biennale titled Repertoire.

The event is an open exhibition, all participants are welcome.
The
artworks are to be featured in a curated exhibition celebrating the
bicentennial of theatre in Miskolc, in manner that is appropriate to the
tone and concept envisioned for the event by the organizers, which will
be held in the Veres Attila Hall of the Thalia House of the Herman Ottó Museum – Miskolc Galleryon World Theatre Day, 27 March, 2024.
A
repertoire is the culmination of works an artist or community (e.g.: a
band or theatre troupe) had learnt, rehearsed and is able to perform at
any time. It is a set of programmes, a schedule and a series of stunts
as well as the totality of works that are to be presented. In a broader
sense, it can refer to the skills and knowledge accumulated by the
individual.
In
the spirit of World Theatre Day, participants are expected to submit
one or several artworks primarily related to their own theatre
experiences by using their own repertoire of experiences through the
language of mail art and submit it by post. Alternatively, participants
can also submit writings or films about the topic via e-mail.
Only
artworks sent by mail that were specifically made for this occasion can
be entered to the exhibition. We consider any bare two or three
dimensional items or works of art wrapped in envelopes or any other kind
of packaging that were sent via mail as mail art. We will display any
piece that relates to the theme of the exhibition regardless of its
shape, material and techniques used. Participants are encouraged to
incorporate as many postal accessories and services (special stamps,
priority and registered labels) as possible as organic decorative
additions to their mail art submissions. A curated exhibition based on
the submissions will be held in the Thalia House of the Herman Ottó
Museum – Miskolc Gallery until-August 2024.
The
exhibition opening will be documented via photographs and published by
SpanishFlu (www.spanyolnatha.hu). The submitted pieces will become a
part of the Marcelland International Art Collection. The SpanishFlu Mail
Art Awards of Excellence will be awarded at the Biennale: the grand
prize winner can host their own exhibition at the Thalia House in
Miskolc during the following year while other awardees may do so in the
webjournal.
Submission deadline: 29 February, 2024.
