It will set the stage for all 480 cards from the original Emily Harvey Gallery exhibit together with new submissions created especially for this show.
Media/Size: Submit one 4"x 6" artwork in any media on the theme of death/life. Please include the words “A BOOK ABOUT DEATH” on the front and your name and your e-mail address/website URL on the back. The work may be sent in an envelope for protection or mailed as a postcard.
No returns.
Exhibition: Curated by Joan Harrison, LuAnn Palazzo and Constance Wolf, the new ABAD show will open in the SAL Art Gallery at the CW Post Campus of Long Island University in Brookville, NY, and run October 31 to November 4, 2010.  All submitted work will become part of a permanent Ray Johnson ABAD Archive.
You must submit both a physical work and a virtual one to be part of the project.  Submit a 4x6 jpg of the image with your name and e-mail and or web URL to LuAnn Palazzo at: DesignDivaNY@gmail.com

All mail to be posted on http://paperandpostage.blogspot.com 
Documentation to all in the spring of 2011. I will be making a dress with everything you send - stamps, envelopes, paper, ribbon and labels.
