FLUXLIST: Re: Mail Art for the Radio
Studio 360, an NPR program on Sunday mornings, has requested that people send them in mail art, since they are interested in doing a program on it, and will put several pieces online when they do the program. Send mail art to Studio 360, WNYC Radio, 1 Center St. , New York, NY 10007 USA. Thanks. It has to come through the postal system--no e-mail. Judith Judith A. Hoffberg Umbrella P.O.

FLUXLIST: Fwd: WOID #XII-2. Absentee Ballots [XI]: THE PENNIES*
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 14:35:18 -0400 From: Paul T Werner [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WOID #XII-2. Absentee Ballots [XI]: THE PENNIES* To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailer: iPlanet Messenger Express 5.2 HotFix 1.15 (built Apr 28 2003) X-Accept-Language: en Priority: normal X-CanItPRO-Stream: osuedu X-Spam-Score: 0 () X-Scanned-By: CanIt (www . canit . ca) Original-recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED] Once again, ceremonies have opened in New York for the Pennies*, the prestigious Awards for Excellence in Protest Signage. And you were wondering what those crowds were all about. Conditions for judging were very difficult this year. With half a million contestants, the Impartial Judge found himself unable to review all entries. So, rather than expect contestants to fit into categories I decided it was better to invent the categories to fit the contestants. As far as I could see (ten blocks along Seventh Avenue in either direction) demonstrators were bent on inventing their own signage. Much of it was recycled, visually and verbally; much of it was poor from a graphic designers point of view, but then, like Early Christians recycling Roman epigraphy the demonstrators were making their own point with their own means. One of the most cheerful aspects of this demonstration was the large number of vendors hawking t-shirts and buttons, which suggests that the American Left is starting to gain a bit of economic traction. More cheerful yet was the variety of designs, both commercial and hand-lettered. That suggests that production, at least left-wing produc tion of t-shirts and buttons, is on a more democratic, pluralistic level than ever since the sixties. Here goes: ENDLESS VARIATIONS ON DICK AND BUSH: My Bush would make a better president and My Dick would make a better vice-president matching sets. Give bush the finger (Not a matching set). FIGHTING THE MASTER WITH HIS OWN TOOL (Not to be confused with the above): Attention Republicans: Go Fuck Yourselves! YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?: Abort Bush in the First Term. Enemy Combatant, and I vote! Sight of two gay men freedom-kissing in front of a counter-demonstrator. A counter-demonstrator from Billionaires for Bush, smiling sweetly in tiara and gown, holding up a sign: Blood for Oil. VARIATIONS ON I LOVE NY: These involved the design and typeface of the famous I [heart] NY Logo: I [upside-down elephant logo] NY. Poetic justice, since the original designer, Milton Glaser, has been hiding under the bed crying about Violent Anarchists. SLICK GRAPHIC DESIGN PUT TO GOOD USE: A Smush Bush fly-swatter; George Bushs head as the skull in a Jolly Roger. A silk-screened t-shirt of moonlit palm trees and the moon over Caribbean waters, with a delicate strand of barbed wire swaying in the the foreground: Visit Guantanamo Bay. SLICK GRAPHIC DESIGN PUT TO POOR USE: /BUSH; The word Peace designed like a Lichtenstein Bang!. Term-oil, with the T slashed. BEST IN DÉTOURNEMENT: Inexpensive t-shirts against Bush. RUNNER-UP IN DÉTOURNEMENT: Violent Political Anarchists Welcome (A take on Bloombergs Peaceful Demonstrators Welcome buttons. WORST IN DÉTOURNEMENT: T-shirts for the Chicago Situationist Collective, which managed to be boring and slick at the same time. SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT AWARD: A counterdemonstrator with a sign displaying guns, tanks and missiles, with the header: Peace and Freedom has [sic] never been cheap. A right-wing group called Protest Warriors that turned up with expensive posters and slogans so confused they seemed like parodies of themselves: Communists for Kerry. Hey, why not? Demonstrators were coming over to agree with them; and when the counterdemonstrators started chanting USA! USA! a group of demonstrators joined in. MOST CONTROLLING: Slips of paper handed out to demonstrators with appropriate slogans like Hey, hey, ho, ho. I hate being taken for a ho, ho ho. LEAST CONTROLLING: A cluster of cops standing a few feet from twenty-odd punks smoking pot and squatting on the sidewalk. Printed lapel stick-ons that read BUSH IS A [you had to fill in your own message]. POST-MODERNIST ANIMISM: Cardboard [sign] against the War. SOUL OF WIT: Tourists Against Bush. I really dont like George Bush. Slashed W in a circle; upside-down W sign with the three middle fingers. Fire the Liar; And the worst insult of all (carried by a teenager): Even my mother doesnt like you. I TAKE THIS ONE PERSONALLY: Stop Renaissance Art Now! BEST OF ALL: A very old woman from the East Village with a crowded cardboard sign: Sweep out Bush Company [picture of broom] -- Trash [picture of garbage can] (Non Recyclable). Eat your [heart] out, Milton. Paul T Werner, New York http://theorangepress.com WOID: A journal of visual language __ Dr. John M. Bennett Curator, Avant Writing Collection Rare Books Manuscripts
