June 8th, 3pm Do you remember the last fun piece of mail you received (something that was not a bill...) and how excited it made you feel? In this short and humorous workshop, artist Chris Barr will discuss the idea behind his networked performance project The Bureau of Workplace Interruptions as a form of art for social change as well as instruct you on the medium of mail art. Mail art is a form of creative work that uses the postal services as a medium. You will have a chance to talk with a professional artist who has exhibited across the United States and around the world and participate in one of his projects by creating your own mail art. You do not need to be an artist. In his project Chris harnesses snail mail technology as a commerce free exchange. With the Bureau of Workplace Interruptions for example, workers can sign up online to be distracted for a while at their workplace. The BWI agents send crazy pieces of mail and they "create surprise, the kind that slices through the banal and opens up new places for your mind to wander. The ruptures [they] create are temporary spaces for open dialogue, invisible resistance, and general amusement." This is a free event and accessible to everyone. Bring your friends, kids and grand-mothers and become BWI Special Agents! Please RSVP via email or phone so we know how many people to expect. _____________________________________________________________ Upcoming Classes
