Mailart/Visual Poetry Exhibit at Skylab in Columbus Ohio August 2010

(Photo taken by Jim and Sue Leftwich)

Updated Sept2010 -
CALL for MAIL ART
THEME: VISUAL POETRY
is over: August 1st, 2010 was the deadline and all digital vispo and vispo
mail art received was exhibited at Skylab Gallery in downtown Columbus OH August 2010 during the Avant Writing Symposium at The Ohio State University. The symposium was organized by John M Bennett, curator of the Avant Writing Collection-part of OSU library's Rare Books & MSS Library, where the mailart vispo now resides in eight archival boxes. As a tribute to John, who will retire from OSU sometime around the end of this year, SKYLAB concurrently exhibited a retrospective of JMB's visual poetry. Our son, John Also Bennett, the main curator for SKYLAB, installed JMB's vispo show, and C Mehrl Bennett (me) installed the mail art show & did the documentation. A collaboration table was set up by Jim Leftwich and other performances happened at SKYLAB Saturday night August 21st during the Avant Writing Symposium- so many participants from the OSU Avant Writing Symposium were there to see the mail art show... some of them, including the Post-NeoAbsurdist Anti-Collective, performed at Skylab and many had sent in their own vispo contributions. Photo: from left to right are Matthew Stolte (Madison, WI), Crag Hill (Moscow, ID), and Keith Buchholz (St. Louis, MO).

DOCUMENTATION and photos from opening night are at http://visualpoetrymailartexhibit.blogspot.com/
and even MORE photos, including presentations at OSU's Avant Writing Symposium, can be found at JMB's Flickr website

ANTI-SPAM

Allright, settings are changed so hopefully we will soon return to "hardly any comments" rather than "hundreds of fake comments". Probably an improvement.

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Send me your things.

Time, forever being eaten up by worms and people and bits of stuff, is a precious commodity in today’s MODERN DIGITAL AGE. The arts (ha ha) are, though arguably necessary, more or less a complete waste of time. It is with this in mind that I am announcing my intention to begin publishing a regular online journal for the brothers, sisters and distant cousins of the Post-NeoAbsurdist Anti-Family who (like myself) find themselves with very little time in which to indulge in the vital pointlessness of creative endeavour.

Every fortnight (or thereabouts) I intend to release into the tangled mess of decaying ideas that is the World Wide Internet a tiny bundle of Content which will, if used correctly, take up no more than five minutes of your unquestionably busy day to consume.

To help me achieve this pitiful vision, I need stuff. Your stuff. Please shove anything you might have (so long as it’s tiny and in some way good) into my starving inbox via davidberisedwards at gmail dot com

Images: No bigger than five centimetres by five centimetres.
Texts: No longer than 100 words.
Sounds: (For potential sound supplement) No longer than thirty seconds.

The sooner the better, my lovely ducklings.

Ta &c.

DBE.

Thomas L. Taylor

Thomas L. Taylor passed away yesterday, Sunday the 13th. As many of you know, he had been struggling with cancer for over a year.
Tom has been a remarkably warm and generous friend and collaborator with many of us in this community even at the height of his illness, and has been an essential part of the avant writing community for many decades.

Jim Leftwich has put up a page where you can see some of his recent work:

http://jimleftwichtextimagepoem.blogspot.com/

A guide to his collection here at OSU may be seen here:

http://library.osu.edu/sites/rarebooks/finding/thomastaylor.php

Additionally, his beautiful poem Tract was the centrefold of Synapse 3 and his poems appear in various other Post-Neo publications, and his collaborative book with bela is being distributed as it becoms financially feasible.
