Reed Altemus (USA)


Scanned the collection

A first step has been done with the sent in papers. I have scanned them all. Both front and backside. As promissed all the papers will be published in a publication to document the overview of Fluxus Rubberstamps the network is currently using.

Not focussing on just the traditional Fluxus stamps, but also on the new created ones. The communication is also part of the prints. I send them out, sometimes they travl the world, sometimes they get back to me straight away. I don't recycle them. I just keep it all together as one collection to be exhibited one of thee days.

New set sent out


Because J.F. Chapelle (France) asked for some more sheets to work on I sent him the same envelope back. He published online the status of the envelope as it arrived. He promissed to return it again with some more sheets. Will be continued.....

More documentation soon

In the beginning of 2011 some more sheets were sent out and some more got returned. This isn't a normal mail-art project. It is a documentation project of Fluxus Rubber Stamps where I try to get a clear overview of some of the active rubberstamps that are used. So be patient, more will follow....

More sheets sent out

The last month some more sheets are sent out. Sometimes a start is made with original rubber Fluxus Stamps that I have in the collection of th TAM Rubberstamp Archive. When the papers come back they will be put together in a book that I am preparing on the subject. As usual not all that is sent out comes back. Some sheets are kept back by a receiver because he want to collect something to. The danger of every add & pass on project. Eventually I hope enough comes back for a good book,

Rubberstamp from Ben Vautier


When sending mail to the old Fluxus members one can always expect surprises. Instead of printing on the stampsheets for Fluxus rubberstamps Ben Vautier sent back the sheet with this original rubberstamp out of his own collection. The text reads: "l 'instant présent m'interesse - Ben". Translation: "The situation now interests me - Ben". Off course I printed the stamp on the stampsheet for him and that will join the collection. The rubberstamp will be used for the outgoing mail on special occasions. Will think of a way to reply to this.


Besides the rubberstamp the envelope was also filled with old and very recent paperwork published for exhibitions Ben Vautier had in the last years of even one in this year.
