Received Targets

TARGET AUDIENCE


Here is the direct link to the images that I have received back so far!

EMAIL ME TO PARTICIPATE

What first began as an initial idea in IUOMA (International Union of Mail Artists) 
http://iuoma-network.ning.com/events/target-audience

has since evolved into an initiative to share this idea with all who want to participate, both as artists and venues sources for the final framed showcase! 

Since I opened the project in September I have sent out over 20 used military targets to more than 10 countries worldwide. This means that the numbers of possible participants are dwindling with only about 45 more targets available. 

The initial deadline that was set for the ending is still holding at the close of January 2013.... however,I am flexible about the possibility of extending- depending on the return timing of the targets.

Project overview...



This project is a first come first serve situation. I found an old box filled with 70 used military targets measuring approximately 8 1/2 x 11 inches.
With seemingly endless strife continuing around the globe it is becoming increasingly clear that anyone can now be a target. Holding to that premise I decided that these used targets would be a great way for people to share the struggles they have experienced, witnessed, or even just read about. It can be personal, political, social, environmental..... whatever it invokes in you! They can be decorated in any medium your heart desires. 
The only restriction I have is to keep the original outside dimensions since they will be framed. 
Once I have received them all back they will serve as the art for my first traveling art exhibition that coincides with my ongoing  picture framing and art education project (The Migrant Framer)- locations of exhibitions to be announced at a later date.
