'Post-Authorship'

Concept Artists, writers and thinkers from opposite parts of the world translate and exchange the verbal into the visual, the local to the global in an exploration of collaborative postcard collecting and exchanging. The transmission and retrieval of these responses create the emergence of new narratives that are shared and reacted upon through hybrid texts, images and temporary ownership. Process • The participants are asked to write down a quote on a blank postcard. A quote can be something they heard a passer-by say or it could be from an inspirational iconic figure. • This postcard is then passed onto someone in a different country who interprets the quote visually on the same postcard but on the reverse side. • Eventually all postcards will be sent to the original place of distribution and collected as a mass piece of collaborative work.
