This is not a Mail-Art call nor a Mail-Art project.
Ryan from the U.S.A. was at our Festival and participated with an exhibition. He
also did some shopdropping here in a few shops in Sint-Niklaas.
Unfortunately I wasn't present with these actions. Maybe you are interested to
participate. If not it is a fun and interesting project to know about. -

SHOPDROPPING OPEN CALL:
Deadline:
Shopdropping
is an ongoing project
in which I alter the packaging of canned goods and then "shopdrop" the items back onto grocery store shelves.
Shopdropping
strives to take back a
share of the visual space we encounter on a daily basis. Similar to the way
street art stakes a claim to public space for self _expression_, Shopdropping subverts commercial space and activities
for artistic use. I am currently organizing an open
call to create a large collaborative Shopdropping
installation. Please submit all types of works on
paper: photography, drawing,
painting, printmaking, computer printouts, etc.etc. but please no
cardboard, heavyweight paper, or other “thick” surfaces that won’t adhere easily
to the cans. All submitted materials should be 4 inches by 9.5
inches. Please send 2 copies of
each submission so that one set can be “shopdropped”
into grocery stores and another set can be displayed as a group project in a
gallery in NYC. Also, please include $1 US per
submission to help cover the cost of buying canned goods. (I’m not making any
money off of this but if I get 100 submissions that’s
200 cans of beans.) Please include your name, or alias
with your submission. Please include your email address with your package so
that I can confirm that I received your work, and keep you updated on how the
project is going. If you have any questions please let
me know at
I look forward to hearing from
you! Send
all work to: Deadline:
