August 10, S.A.S.E presented by ASDF

S.A.S.E. uses the idea of the self addressed stamped envelope as its foundation (a method of distribution within the postal mail system that is always initiated by the one who wants to receive the information).

This method of distribution was (futilely) translated into a digital communication system, e-mail.

Eleven people were asked to organize an exhibition of images that would be contained within the space of an e-mail.

Ten e-mail exhibitions were created (each includes a selection of images, a statement, and a works list).

To receive the e-mail exhibition one would initiate the process by sending a request e-mail.

Block Party at the Dunlop Art Gallery August 1-October 11, 2009
