AGAINST LETHE: a mail art project by LesYperYper

Call for Submissions

Deadline: May 15, 2013

The 5^th ICTVC Conference will take place in Nicosia, Cyprus from June 4-12, 2013, and LesYperYper invites creative people from all over the world to submit original mail artwork relevant to the conference theme “Against Lethe”.

All artwork must be able to be mailed (printmaking, postcards, visual poetry, stickers, collage, poetry, textile, photo, painting, original drawing, mixed media, or a short story). All participants must agree to the reproduction of their work in printed brochures or other material produced for educational purposes. To facilitate the online gallery publication, please send a digital capture of the work by e-mail to mailart@ictvc.org (high quality, 300dpi jpeg) as well as physically shipped. The printed version will be sent selectively to various libraries, institutes, galleries and the pdf version will be available on the internet for free.

All works received shall be submitted to a selection process by a jury composed of ICTVC and LYY members. No prizes will be awarded; however, the ten highest ranking submissions by students will qualify for free tickets to the full ICTVC schedule in June (workshops, events and the main conference). Successful entrants shall be notified via e-mail. The works submitted will not be returned and become the collection of the LesYperYper archive. No work will be for sale but may be exhibited from time to time in public galleries to promote cultural awareness. A maximum of 2 works can be submitted. Participants should provide their full name, address, nationality, email, and website, if available.
