DAVID ZACK SHOW IN CALGARY, CANADA >From Vittore Baroni, Italy: I circulate this message I received from Istvan Kantor/Monty Cantsin, if you have Zack (mail art legend!) materials or personal contributions that might be interesting for the show, please forward to:
Istvan Kantor 58 Wade ave Unit 12 Toronto, Ontario M6H 1P6 Canada “I finally scheduled an exhibition/installation event of the work of David Zack in Calgary at The New Gallery for early 2008, this show will look back at the complete life work of Zack and especially will focus on his correspondence art activities of the 70's and 80's. For this exhibition I keep collecting original works, images, sounds and written documents and I would like to ask you to forward this message to anyone/everyone with potential interest to contribute Zack related works as well as short writings in connection to his life, ideas, countercultural catalyst philosophy, charisma, wit, anarchism, bad manners or evil character, anything critical, descriptive, analytical, commemorative, poetical, that can become part of the exhibition and catalogue. The show will be basically an ambient in situ installation in the form of a living room/office but without trying to recreate a nostalgic environment but rather applying it to the present... Calgary is the city where David spent lots of time and where his children still live, therefore it's an ideal place for this initial show which hopefully then will travel to other places as well.” monty/istvan/amen! www. istvankantor.com
