FEATURED ARTWORK OF THE MONTH
THE BOOMERANG OLTGASMS
At the end of May
2000 I mailed out twenty-five similarly treated Boomerang Oltgasms.
An example is pictured above. On the reverse side each Boomerang
Oltgasm was addressed to its first recipient and the following instructions
were screenprinted:

I O N S !
You are now an
accomplice/collaborator in an historic event.
This here thang
is one of the first of (hopefully) many BOOMERANG OLTGASMS. Hereís
how you work it:
1. Attach, draw, print, paint, remove, spray, gouge, smear, do whatever you wish. Only TWO stipulations please: do so QUICKLY (so this project doesnít take forever) and make it so the important instructional info on this side remains legible.2. Fill in your name, address and email (if you care to have a jpeg of the final product sent to you) on the next available numbered slot at left.
3. Paste over the "TO:" area with the name and address of someone you think will want to add to this.
4. Affix fresh postage and SEND IT OUT!
5. POTENTIAL RESUME LINE ALERT: Iíll credit and notify everyone anytime this piece is exhibited.
Thus far, ten of
these collaborations have found their way back to me and were exhibited
for the first time in my recent solo exhibition at the Winfisky Gallery.
