The Address Is the Art: International Postal Art Superstar, 2008
Scope and Contents
"Hand-sewn, hand stamped, hand-distributed--everything about Pawson's clever artist book bears the artist's hand, yet very little of it was made by the artist himself. Comprised of envelopes he has received over the course of two decades, the publication, which is trimmed to 5 5/8 x 7 3/4 inches and has a hand-sewn binding is a patchwork of colours, patterns and textures--an accumulation of different types of stationary, stamps, and text.... The artist, who began the project in 2003, will be collecting and assembling envelopes until he reaches 500 copies (so far he has completed one-fifth of the edition)."--James Hoff on Mark Pawson's The Address Is the Art
The copy at the SCA is signed and identified as the 135/500.
