I've only had 2 cards that exceed the size restrictions and both were from individuals who are involved in mail art. I guess that the limitations did not work for what they wanted to create. If an exhibition materializes, I will only show cards that are the correct size as only those will fit in the sleeves I would like to exhibit in.
congrats on post 100! you used a great piece to ring it in. very hall of mirrors looking.
just curious but what's this sleeve business all about? the next piece i was going to submit is the standard card size but it will be a quarter inch thick. just wondering if it'd fit the sleeve.
I am attempting to amass a large collection of portraits of Frankenstein's Monster in as many different styles and in as many different media as possible as an ongoing art project. The only stipulation is that the size is 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches (standard artist trading card size) and that each card has name, date, title and anything else you care to add on the back.
I welcome cards from both amateur and professional artists.
I will be leaving blank cards with instructions and mailing address in galleries, colleges, art shops, on buses, handing them out in the street and wherever else I can think of.
If you are reading this and would like to get involved, please send a portrait to:
A Patchwork Of Flesh 45 Silversea Drive Westcliff on Sea Essex SS0 9XD United Kingdom
Each card I receive will be uploaded here to produce an on-line gallery, I then hope to put on an exhibition of these cards in a gallery.
Interesting, for sure, but how do you deal with submissions that don't follow your size guidelines?
