forwarding from david baptiste chirot (per his request) his latest mail art call which speaks to the upcoming event:
MAIL ART CALL Dear Fellow Fluxlist, Sound and Visual Poetry and Mail Art Workers: Greetings and all best in art and life -- 2002 has arrived -- the Panlindromatic Year -- reading backward and forward the same. The Panindromatic Day is thus: 20/02/2002. Let us contemplate, question and create with this event! The palindrome is both coming and going at the same time. Is it a self-contained mirror -- or an infinite series? -- what is its chaos and what its order? Is it a trick, a game -- or a profound revelation? What are its qualities and evidences -- in language, sound, vision and life? Does the palindrome get us anywhere -- or everywhere? Is it a unity and a splitting at once? Is it yin/yang? Is it a mandala, a round, a mantra -- is it perpetual motion or dead stop? 2002: The Palindromatic Year. Please send works on the theme, sizes A4 and less, in any media -- originals or copies. The first deadline is the Palindromatic Day 20/02/2002. The second deadline is the end of the Palindromatic Year. Documentation to follow. Until further notice, please send to: David Baptiste Chirot c/o Jean Dean 2874 N. 52nd Milwaukee, WI. 53210
