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 />

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 />

tried to create a true 'newsletter/ with current information gathered from many<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 />

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 />

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 />

because anybody can produce it! All you have to do is call your magazine<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 />

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 />

artists whose work is collaged on the "Brain Cell" unit. 54 artists from 14<br />

he wrote on the 5th day of the bombardments in Yugoslavia on Sunday 28th<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 />

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 />

(oversize). 35 pages. "<strong>Mail</strong> <strong>Art</strong>/<strong>Art</strong>ist postage Stamps," by Jon Held, Jr.<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 />

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 />

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 />
