Fluxus Rubber Stamps

Ruud Janssen (NL) , Ross Priddle (USA), Jennifer Kosharek (USA)

Some sheets that came in are colour xeroxed and returned to the participants. About 25 envelopes went out. Besides the colour xerox also a new sheet was included. The special TAM Rubberstamp Memo's are used twice. One is added to the original contribution and then xeroxed. The oder one especially added for the receiver.

This one was published on Ross Priddle's blog, so I know he received his copy.

Copies and New Sheets

The last sheets that were sent in are copied in colour and sent back to the participants with a new empty sheet with it. A first feedback to the participants. Seems like the request is quite sepcific and not that many sheets return. Still, the result will be a quite unique collection as part of the TAM Rubberstamp Archive.

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.
