mail-based art/installation piece
Aug. 16th, 2004 08:51 pmi'm working on a project and could use a little help from some (or even many!) of you. the project involves 1inx3in (aprox. measurements; i don't have a tag on hand to measure) white gift tags. i need a bunch of these suckers decorated. i already have tons, but i seriously would love to have massive amounts.
the plan is to cover a wall with small hooks and hang a tag from each hook as an installation piece. the more tags, the more impressive it would be. i've gotten many people to help me out in this, including my dad. (!)
you can do anything you like with the tag. some ideas are as follows:
write (poetry, dictionary definitions, etc)
draw, paint, collage, cut, transform in any way
replace the string with different string or ribbon
trace the tag onto entirely different material and re-thread
if you're interested in helping, please fill out this poll and i will get back to you asap.
[Poll #336787]
tags will be mailed to you. if mailing them back (postage) is a serious issue, i can include a stamp, as it is my project and i don't want there to be any unwanted expense for anyone.
please delete this post if it can be considered spam. post comments if there are any questions.
