Call for Entries


I am thrilled that moly_x will be exhibiting at Minnesota Center of Book Arts (MCBA), between mid-January through March 2011. It's coming up! This is a great venue, and this exhibit could mean some wonderful opportunities for other exhibitions around the country, and possible grants. This is a very receptive community.

I would like a few of the great portrait books from this group. These books do not have to be completed. If you have a book right now would you consider sending it to me next. It will be out of circulation through March, but it will get some wonderful attention. I will guarantee it's safe return, or delivery to the next artist on the list.

MCBA does a great job of documenting their shows, so you will have a nice record. Whoever is in the book may add another credit to her/his resumé. We will continue to look for other similar venues for moly_x exhibitions. There are many book art institutions like this around the country, and there are many university book arts, and illustration programs.

I have dreamed of this exhibit since we started this little project. I would like to get 2 or 3 portrait books from this group.

Thanks for you help.

Yours,

Marty

Hi Marty, perhaps Tania would let you have her book for the exhibition - she dropped out of the group a couple of months ago, but her book has a lot of entries. Lidia's book also has a lot of work already completed in it, and there is Juanita who left the group (her book was worked in extensively by many group members) if you can get her to respond. My own book only just re-entered the rotation after being in Juanita's hands for almost a year with no work done on it, so I need to keep it moving if I'm to stick with the group - it's hard to keep the enthusiasm up for our exchange when one's book is held up for too long. Good luck with the exhibition, it sounds like a great oportunity, and I hope you manage to lay your hands on at least one book from our group!

Thanks for the tips. I have been in contact with Tania. I will ask. I may contact the others as well.

You will see some new life here. I promise. 3MW, Melissa Woodlawn will be checking in with your group soon. She has some good ideas to help bring these portrait groups back to life.

Thank you so much Ea.

I would like to participate in the exhibition
In my moleskine lack only the involvement of Benjamin (Mexico).
I am now with three molys, including Ea´s book, arrived last week from Juanita in Chile.
I hope to be sending them to Benjamin at most next week ...

That's it.
