NONE OF THE ABOVE
Assembling, Collaborating and Publishing in the Eternal NetworkOn display August 28 – November 8, 2009
Listen to an MPR "Art Hounds" review of the show (begins at 1:40):
"Assembling" represents the ultimate in democratic art and was an outgrowth of the Fluxus movement of the 1960s and '70s. Groups of artists -- often those active in the mail art community -- collaborated to produce compilations of work void of editorial oversight. This exhibition celebrates those independent voices through an historical overview of past publications and contemporary examples. Work on display will be from a variety of public and private collections, curated by 2007 Winter Book co-editor Tom Cassidy and MCBA Artistic Director Jeff Rathermel. A series of Assemblings will be produced by MCBA allowing visitors to see the process in action.

The Box Sets of Picasso Gaglione
August 28 - November 8
Open Book Lobby and Studio Showcases
William "Picasso" Gaglione has been affiliated with and inspired by the Fluxus art and anti-art movement for over four decades, and is acknowledged as one of the founders and foremost artists in the mail art movement. In the mid 1960s Gaglione became involved with the mail art movement under the pseudonym "Dadaland", connecting with a wide network of artists all over the world. The non-judgmental precepts of mail art and its outsider actions held great appeal for him. After moving to northern California in the late 1960s he founded the Bay Area Dadaists, a publication and performance company. He now works out of his Chicago shop, Stampland, with his wife and fellow artist Darlene Domel.In recognition of his contributions to the mail art movement he has been named as one of the ten Masters in the mail art guild formed in Japan, and a large portion of his work in this medium has been acquired by the Getty Museum in Los Angeles. A selection of his Flux-Kit-inspired work is currently on display in the Open Book lobby and MCBA gallery in The Box Sets of Picasso Gaglione.
