Pen Pals


This summer, MASS enlisted its community to participate in a collaborative mail art project for all of us stuck at home. In the spirit of the surrealists who valued collaboration and exchange as a way to surface new ideas, this project aimed to engage artists across the country during a period of isolation. The included exquisite corpses were mailed all across the US, resulting in the playful works you see here.

The collected works will be published as a Risograph zine. More on that soon!

Participating artists include:

Elaine Andrews, Whitney Avra, Claudia Aparicio-Gamundi, Wayne Brenner, Alexi Brock, Andrea Calo, Mike Calway-Fagen, Kristen Cliburn, Rosely Conz, Dion Dill, Jory Drew, Patricia Fabricant, FFTWINZ, Christine Garvey, Brooke Gassiot, Erin Gentry, Mai Gutierrez, Julia Hendrickson, Erica Henri, Charles Hickey, Katherine Jackson, Bethany Johnson, Julianna Johnston, Jules Buck Jones, Samantha Kalson, Jesse Kees, Drew Liverman, Sara Madandar, Leah Marino, Taft Mashburn, Angelica Mcauley, Christopher McConnell, Payton McGowen, Andrea Mellard, Christine Nguyen, Kendall Ozmun, Jean Pagan, Douglas Piccinnini, Sean Redmond, Cat Rigdon, Carlos Rosales-Silva, Cheryl Russell, Igor Siddiqui, Annie Simpson, Maddie Socha, Ryan Sponsler, Josette Urso, Lexa Walsh, Gavin Watts, Jenn Wilson, Ariel Wood, and Jo Yarrington
