Postmarked Geelong
Here is a few pix from the exhibition ‘Postmarked Geelong’. This exhibition was based around the premise that artists create faux stamps or cinderellas. We involved a few Micronations from both Australia and overseas who produce legal stamps, the Mail Art open network, local artists and a few off the bubble as well.
There was also a component that worked with community groups and disability orgs. to allow for all abilities to be involved and gain access to working with a professional artist in a workshop senario.
The Redbubblers included…
Thickblackoutlines , Evilfroot and myself
I had hoped for this image to be much larger…but i guess i just found one of the flaws of flickr. Anyway, hope its big enough to give you a bit of a looksee!
The bottom three are…left detail TBO, right detail Evilfroot and at the very bottom my own redtape tee design as a stamp sheet.
Cheers!

Hi John,
Its on at Karingallery in james street G-town. Comes down tommorrow some time. Yeah i was snowed under till now and i think there is about to be an avalanche over the next few weeks in my world..eeek! So anyway, i didn’t really do publicity for this show, and it was handballed to a mate of mine mostly apart from me helping with the hanging. I just thought i would throw this up here cause some RB members were involved. Anyway, i will in future let the GThrong in on any happenings.
Cheers,
Glen

No probs Jen, thank you. The book will be a special one! The stamp sheets are getting broken up for it, and Dave has been labouring over it. So it will have originals from all those involved in each book.

thanks so much to Glen & Dave for this opportunity.
Your generosity is unmatched.
nofrillsart replied
No probs…and again thank you Evilfroot. These things wouldn’t exist without the artists. This project ended up allowing about fifty odd people to share their artwork with each other(When the books are out), about five artists made a days work at Aust. Council rates(Payed Well!), and probably 60 or more people got to participate in free workshops to make artists stamps with a practising artist on hand to help. So it was a pretty successful project in my books! ;)
