receiver to add to the work and pass on to yet another correspondent. Included
in the booklet is the admonishment to return the completed booklet to the<br />
originator. They may be issued periodically or uniquely. Examples in the<br />
collection include works received from Guy Bleus (Belgium), Gerardo Yepiz<br />
(Mexico), buZ blurr (USA), Lother Trott (Switzerland), and Dan Landrum (USA).<br />

because time has speeded by and we have in hand a great deal of printed<br />
material, and a greater knowledge of the printing world, thanks to Bill James, our<br />
printer, and IBM, who has given me a machine that allows us to typeset the<br />
Newsletter with near-professional skill./What is more important is that we have<br />
tried to create a true 'newsletter/ with current information gathered from many<br />
sources to help visual librarians throughout North America and elsewhere as<br />
well." John Dowd (USA) mentioned in "New <strong>Periodicals</strong>," in regard to the<br />

the Editor," by AA Bronson (Canada), "Under your column on artists' books in the<br />
February Newsletter, you note the formation of the Franklin Furnace, a new<br />
bookstore dedicated to the distribution of book-like works by artists. You call it<br />
the 'first in a specialized type of artists' bookstore'./In fact, The Furnace is<br />
modeled after ART METROPLE, a similar organization in Toronto, Canada, and<br />
a member of ARLIS/NA. We were opened to the public in October, 1974. We<br />
began by carrying only books by artists...we have now widened our selection to<br />
multiple works by artists in popular formats (books, records, postcards and<br />
videotapes)...Although we are totally in support of the Franklin Furnace's efforts<br />
and hope to be working with them in the future, I wanted to clarify the fact that<br />
there are other similar organizations in operation and there are likely to be more<br />
in the near future." Notice of an exhibition by Ken Friedman (USA) at the<br />

the boondocks, but sometimes I feel that I really am doing this in complete<br />
isolation. You see, I read lots of newspapers, lots of journals and pick up<br />
information in my travels. You the membership, on the whole, do not seem to<br />
send me in that which is important in your own area, so I dig it out and put it<br />
under one cover...and so we begin our fifth year, hoping not to be bigger (I don't<br />
think my strength can endure if we get bigger) but always better, generating<br />
controversy and comments, as well as a network of communication and<br />
cooperation among al the members of our large art library community..."<br />
"Franklin Furnace Archive, Inc.," by Peter Zabielskis. "We are a public archive for<br />
artists'' books, available as a scholarly research center, or just for casual<br />
browsing. in keeping with the spirit in which these works were originally produced<br />
(i.e. an inexpensive, readily available medium), we are inclusive rather than<br />
exclusive. We are not concerned with books that are 'salable' or popular, but with<br />
preserving examples of all works produced by artists. for this reason, the greater<br />
part of our collection consists of works simply unavailable and unknown through
commercial outlets except for Printed Matter, Inc., the only bookstore dealing<br />
exclusively with book-like works by artists still in print..." Notice of works by<br />

correspondence art, with particular attention placed on the use of rubber stamps<br />
(both visual and textual). Stamp <strong>Art</strong> has become a growing movement in Europe<br />
and the United States with exhibitions devoted to the medium and books<br />
published documenting the activities of various artists." First appearance of "<strong>Art</strong><br />
Spoken Here," a trademark not only of this publication, but of the editor's<br />
forthcoming "Umbrella." The editor voices her concerns for the future of her<br />
continuing in the present periodical in "From the Editor." "...the printing budget<br />
had been cut, not only for the newsletter, but it seems to me for other printing<br />
which is essential for the nuts and bolts of this society. the argument on the part<br />
of some Board members was that most people do not read this newsletter<br />
anymore since it is too big. If that is the case, then perhaps the hours of<br />
preparation and the charge to document the activities of this society are really for<br />
naught. I need your feedback, because this is crucial...If you don't like the back<br />
of the newsletter, then say so, but that is the reason a great many non-librarians<br />
red this newsletter...The future of this publication depends upon you. To be sure,<br />
I can eliminate the obituaries, since 'everyone reads it in the newspapers.' But<br />
there are more essential principles here, or frankly, you will get what you wantand<br />
that is a handsome 24-page ARLIS/NA News Sheet-and another Editor will<br />
be at the helm."<br />

"...a new breed of cultural worker has developed who takes these geographic<br />
and psychic disturbances as the context from which much of their work springs.<br />
We are speaking here of the concept of the networker and the network./the<br />
networker is someone who respects no borders, brooks no artificial barriers in<br />
his or her quest to celebrate the most basic of human acts: communication.
connected with others across the country and around the globe, networkers<br />
generate dialogues of many kinds, from play to collaboration to propagandizing.<br />
It's a defiant and subversive culture constantly slipping its message through the<br />
postal system n the form of xeroxes, underground zines, audio cassettes,<br />
videotapes, and computer discs. More recently, the fax, modem, and computer<br />
bulletin board have been added to the networker's repertoire. Indeed, all the<br />
duplicative technologies and any other available means of transmitting<br />
information are potential tools for the networker..." Edited by Jan Zita Grover.<br />

'SMILE.' the English writer Stewart home proposed the SMILE concept in 1984<br />
after plagiarizing and refining ideas that had been developed by the Neoist<br />
conspiracy in the late '70s and then reapplying them to the field of publishing. the<br />
concept found fertile ground as it weaved its way through the international<br />
network of neoists, cultural refuseniks, correspondence artists, xerox zinesters,<br />
and others in underground networks. this catalog documents approximately 11<br />
'SMILE's produced throughout Europe,, North America, and Australia during the<br />
years 1984-1988. Editor Simon Ford also provides succinct overviews of a string<br />
of related concepts that intersect with the 'SMILE' project: Neoism, Multiple<br />

Newsletter published by AU art organization in Nishinomiya, Japan, under the<br />
direction of Shozo Shimamoto, a former member of the Gutai art movement.<br />
Gutai was one of the pre-eminent post-war avant-garde art movements in Japan,<br />
formed in the mid-1950s, well-known for incorporating performance aspects into<br />
the physical artwork (i.e., running through a series of paper screens, or in the<br />
case of Shimamoto, hurling bottles with oil pigments at a canvas, the resulting<br />
canvas bearing the trace of the performance). Shimamoto can be seen in the<br />
bottom photograph on page 1 of this issue, far right. Shimamoto was introduced<br />
to <strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Art</strong> by Byron Black, from Ft. Worth, Texas, and Vancouver, Canada,<br />
where he was a resident at Western Front. Black went to Japan to teach English<br />
and made the acquaintance of Shimamoto and Ryosuke Cohen (see Brain Cell),<br />
who he introduced to <strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Art</strong>. Over the years, <strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Art</strong> became a growing<br />
concern of the organization, composed of artists throughout Japan.<br />

effect of File on Bile is completely contained in Vile or mediated by Vile. (d) The<br />
covariation between Vile and Bile is totally due to their direct common<br />
dependence upon an outside cause. (e) The covariation between Vile and Bile is<br />
due in part to the causal dependence of Bile on Vile, and due in part to their<br />
direct sharing of a common cause. Note also that this is the only causal structure<br />
that crystallies into a dadagorean triangle. "In this issue: EXQUISITE CORPSE<br />

sections of the political and art communities, make the cynical positions of<br />
certain careerist hacks less tenable, and to demoralize any naive 'Aritists' who<br />
might otherwise go their entire lives without having the content of their<br />

Brain Cell. Ryosuke Cohen, "Editor." Osaka, Japan. 1985-2001.<br />
(April 8, 1985). Gocco print. 11"x8 1/2". (1 page). One of the<br />
outstanding and longest lasting projects in the <strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Art</strong> network, Ryosuke Cohen<br />
began using a common Japanese printing method, Gocco printing, to gather<br />
images from an international array of artists. Gocco printing is used in Japanese<br />
households to make handmade greeting cards and other family announcements.<br />
It has the appearance of color photocopy, but the colors, which are produced by<br />
applying pigment through a screen in the manner of silk-screen printing
(vertically, rather than a horizontal swip), produce a subtle graduation, rarely<br />
seen in Western art technique printing techniques. Previous to creating the<br />
numbered units in the "Brain Cell" series, Cohen used the gocco printing method<br />
on postcards (often with the word "Cell" incorporated in the design), and then<br />
began producing sheets with images, usually of his own creation. It was but one<br />
step to the formal "Brain Cell" series, when instead of using his own imagery,<br />
Cohen began collaging the graphic work of others. In addition to the gocco<br />
printed sheet of graphic images, a second black and white photocopy sheet is<br />
added, listing the names and addresses of contributors. This listing of<br />
contributors, not only stimulated unprecedented interaction between<br />
correspondents, but produced the finest road map to <strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Art</strong> networking activity<br />
over a fifteen year period. This pre-"Brain Cell" sheet traces Cohen's path to this<br />
extraordinary series of work.<br />
(May 9, 1985). Gocco printing. 11"x8 1/2". (1 page). Another gocco<br />
printed sheet prefiguring the formal "Brain Cell" series. The imagery is mainly<br />
found, with the exception of the graphic taken from the work of Robert Rockola<br />
(USA).<br />
(July 25, 1985). Gocco Printing. 11"x8 1/2". (1 page). Found images,<br />
stickers and an image from Guy Bleus (Belgium) are composed on this sheet,<br />
prefiguring the formal "Brain Cell" series. The back of the envelope in which the<br />
work is sent is printed with the following request. "Dear Friend: It is original<br />
pleasure of mail art network which we make use of another persons seal or<br />
stamp at will. Ourselves may be likened to one of the Brain Cell, it is crowed<br />
without number and comes into superb object. At present art faculty of only<br />
genius is no more necessity. I intend to collect seal or stamp of everybody into<br />
one sheet and send back to each. Please send your seal or stamp to me."<br />
No. 2 ([September 18, 1985]). Gocco Printing and Photocopy. 11<br />

he wrote on the 5th day of the bombardments in Yugoslavia on Sunday 28th<br />
March 1999. He asks me to copy and pass on the letter because it also contains<br />
a OPEN LETTER in it. You are encouraged to copy this magazine that I made<br />
for him. The magazine itself contains information that originates from Yugoslavia.<br />
Also e-mail messages I received from Andrej Tisma in Novi Sad are included.<br />

"Collaboration By." Keiichi Nakamura, Editor. Tokyo, Japan.<br />
1996-2001.<br />
Series of collaborative visual poetry booklets. Japanese <strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Art</strong>ist Keiichi<br />
Nakamura sends out pages of graphics to fellow <strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Art</strong>ists, asking them to<br />
"add to and return". Upon return receipt, the pages are photocopied and made<br />
into booklets. Numbering system is somewhat suspect, as "Vol. 1" is used<br />
throughout the series. Titles are given each booklet, but together they form an<br />
outstanding series of collaborative works. I have given the series the name,<br />
"Collaboration By," as this phrase appears on many of the booklets. Three<br />
booklets appear to have been produced before the series began, but have been<br />
included because of their similarity to the series, and to give a historic<br />
perspective to Nakamura's project.<br />

Commonpress. Pawel Petasz, Founder and Coordinator; Gerald<br />

The idea of Commonpress, conceived by Pawel Petasz (Poland) in 1977, paved<br />
the way for new strategies in publishing and international artistic cooperative<br />
practice, remaining a hallmark of <strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Art</strong>. Petasz conceived of a publication with
a revolving editorship, assigning issue numbers to those wishing to publish under<br />
the banner of Commonpress. All contributors were to become future editors, but<br />
this was shortly modified. Petasz passed on the role of Coordinator to Gerald<br />
Jupitter-Larsen, when it became difficult to receive mail in Poland.<br />

No. 1 (March 25, 1994). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages).<br />
"Computers nowadays are used a lot in mail-art, but for most current mail-artists<br />
who use the computer, it is limited to 'local' work. The printing of texts, graphics<br />
etc...., and also the making of computerized address-lists, producing catalogues<br />
and art-cards with desktop publishing. Not that many use the computer for<br />
electronic communication."<br />
No. 2 (April 24, 1994). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "The first<br />
article on 'electronic mail-art' caused some various reactions. That is why I<br />
started with this follow-up article on the same subject. the text is accessible on<br />
my own BBS, but also I spread this printed version because the discussion about<br />
electronic mail is important for all mail-artists."<br />
No. 3 (May 26, 1994). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "Again I<br />
feel in the middle. Computers are included in my daily life, but for communication<br />
I have learned that the computer isn't always the best tool. It just depends on<br />
what you want to send, what your goal is, what the message I(s) that you want to<br />
send."<br />
No. 4 (June 27, 1994). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "<strong>Mail</strong>-art<br />
has brought many people together. the electronic mail-art will even make the<br />
group of networkers larger. The reason is simple. Spreading of electronic mail is<br />
expensive but has the advantage that it works even faster then xerox-machines."<br />
No. 5 (October 18, 1994). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "This<br />
is the fifth article on electronic mail-art. In 1995 the Telenetlink year will take<br />
place. I will try to take part in this year and at the same time try to inform others<br />
by 'snail-mail' (none-computer users) about this project."<br />
No. 6 (December 19, 1994). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages).<br />
"When will there be the first E-mail-art show, where there is a host-computer with<br />
full-size screen where all participants can log-in and participate in a joined
drawing they make. The FAX-projects are an example of how the location of the<br />
artist isn't important anymore. He an produce art at his home while it occurs<br />
somewhere else too."<br />
No. 7 (December 30, 1994). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "I<br />
started to make a list of all the mail-artists I know that also have an E-mail<br />
address and I realize that there are only a few I know. I am not that active with Email<br />
yet, but what I remember from the BBS-world (I started with that in 1986 or<br />
so) is that there is a real kind of anarchy in that world. no judgment on the quality<br />
of what is being sent at all."<br />
No. 8 (January 28, 1995). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages).<br />
"When your E-mail address is out there you can get mail from anybody who<br />
wants to react just to your 'name.' Also being mentioned in one of the E-mail<br />
magazines means that your address gets around and that people start to send<br />
you invitations. Good and bad ones I must say. There isn't that much difference<br />
compared to the 'snail-mail' as mail-art has been named now."<br />
No. 9 (April 11, 1995). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "I made a<br />
two special arti-stamps so far that have to do with E-mail. One says: "I couldn't<br />
have sent this by E-mail" to emphasize that the snail-mail is a completely<br />
different (analog) communication form."<br />
No. 10 (April 19, 1995). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "I know<br />
of mail-artists that are starting their own homepages. I myself also have a very<br />
small homepage with only a few lines, but the fact is that you don't mail the<br />
homepage to your (mail-) friends. You are waiting till they come and access your<br />
host (via Internet), and then they can just see what you made in a digital form. I<br />
miss the interaction a bit on this front."<br />
No. 11 (May 17, 1995). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (4 pages). "This<br />
article I would also like to discuss the e-zines as they n(o)w appeared in he<br />
network. The e-zines I know all consist of a text file that contains information the<br />
editor has received or that the editor has typed himself. They are produced on<br />
computers but are distributed like the traditional zines with one central point."<br />

(USA). "Over a twenty-five year period an alternate art system has developed<br />
connecting an international group of artists via the postal system. A mail artist is<br />
one who relates on a fairly consistent basis with this network of artists. It is a<br />
network without central leadership, without formal membership, but a network<br />
nevertheless, which is said to encompass several thousand participants from<br />
over thirty countries. The iconography of mail art is drawn from this pool of global<br />
artistic interaction. <strong>Mail</strong> art is not the production of objets which are sent through<br />
the mail, but the at of participation, and the 'correspondances' which occur<br />
through involvement with the network...While the creation of precious objects<br />
has not been of primary importance, visual statements have been made along<br />
the way. And nowhere in mail art have those statements been made to better<br />
effect than within the genre of artist postage stamps. In the world of philately,<br />
they are often referred to as 'cinderellas,' stamps which are not intended for legal<br />
postage. They can be either an offset, xerox, rubberstamp or drawing. It is an<br />
aspect of mail art which instantaneously aligns itself with the postal medium. A<br />

other. It's a search and an adventure. I urge you to continue on the path in spite<br />

on all levels./LEVEL is an opportunity for all readers to become part of the<br />
creative process. The newsletter is compiled from the contributions of readers<br />
whose creations find no compatible pigeon-hole in linear, restrictive, predictable<br />
magazines. We will publish almost anything in LEVEL, provided it is not illegal or<br />
too long./copyrights for all items appearing in LEVEL remain in the hands of the<br />
contributor. We are merely a distribution network, a spaceship to carry the<br />

yourself who are motivated enough to react to our simple request. We do not<br />
solicit any profit from this venture...only the nominal costs incurred through<br />
packaging and mailing the contributions of our subscribers./Our mailing list at
this time numbers 100./You are but one of a hundred others who have been<br />
chosen to receive our send issue and in return all that we are asking is a<br />
response... that is all...a postcard telling us how you liked or disliked the<br />
contents, an idea or two on how we might upgrade the effort, a printing press if<br />
you happen to have an extra one gathering dust in your kitchen...that is<br />
all./There ain't no editor at LEVEL MAGAZINE headquarters in Indianapolis. Just<br />
some-intellectual' artist types stuffing manila envelopes full of your stuff and<br />
lickin' the stamps that get LEVEL into your mailbox. This is the whole idea<br />
behind LEVEL MAGAZINE. We don't edit any fucking thing except explosives or<br />
