BASES OF THE CALL (english)

The YOU ARE HERE icon marks our location, places us in a certain space or place. It tells us about places and our relationship with them, but also about our existence, our emotions, our human and emotional relationships, our relationship with the world and the people who inhabit it, the physical and the virtual,... at a vital moment in which the idea of distance and the idea of location have to be rethought, walking forward.

"The Unleashed TheARTre" catalog arrives from Germany

Janus Mail Art catalog 15, "The Unleashed TheARTre" is designed and published in Berlin, Germany in December 2020. It was the project I contributed with a collage. Thank you to Eberhard Janke, the curating artist of the project for sending me this color catalog. 12.5x21 cm in size, it has only 8 pages this time, covers included. The editorial note explains why:

When conceiving the topic of this project at the end of 2019, nobody expected such a global unleashed drama to unfold. But from our current point of view it seems appropriate to place a warning figure on the cover. It's a XVII. century plague doctor with his beak mask and distance stick - an actor now reappeared as a symbol of the pandemic threat. This situation has changed a lot - including our editorial policy. Nevertheless, we hope you'll enjoy the performance of a company of no fewer than 181 actors from 33 nations - this time on a narrower stage. THE NIGHTSHIFT THEATRE wishes to thank all of you for your engagement in this polyphonic performance. And don't forget: it depends on you whether it remains true that "the show must go on". So stay aware & take care!

The catalog is accompanied by the new mailart call naturally and thankfully: Quite As I Might Be:
