Additional related works from the Permanent C ollection will also be on view.\n What are Assemblings?\n Assembling s are collections or compilations of works of art, multiples, objects, writings, visual poetry and/or ephemera submitted by a network of par ticipants to a single hub where a central editor collates one copy fro m each artists' edition of submitted materials into a number of portfo lios. A common practice is for the editor to then send back one folio or assembling of works to each participating member. Assemblings might be in the form of a box of loose materials, a bound book or magazine format, etc. or even be a collection of sound works or short videos. O n view for this exhibit are examples of assemblings in box form, magaz ine format, an unbound book and as collections of objects. In fact the museum itself is an assembling in its own right.\n History of Assemb lings\n Assemblings - as shown in this exhibit - have been created si nce the early 1960’s as artists, writers, and small independent prin ters worked on developing alternative, underground distribution networ ks for their experimental art and literature. As the art and literary worlds came to be controlled by powerful and well established business interests that, in essence, were seen as cultural gate keepers, the c reative community experimented with direct mailings and other self-ini tiated ways to reach out to their collaborators and extended audiences ; what we would call today niche markets based primarily on networks o f people with similar interests. This kind of experimentation led dire ctly to the establishment of the international Mail Art community know n as the Eternal Network which celebrates its 50 year anniversary this year as does Fluxus, an amorphous group of artists that has been high ly influential in developing the Mail Art scene in the 60’s and 70†™s and on through to the present.\n\n\nFor more information visit http s://collagesociety.ning.com/events/assemblings-from-the-archives-of-th e-eterna-network DTSTART;TZID=America/Atikokan:20120310T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Atikokan:20120415T190000 CATEGORIES:exhibition LOCATION:The Ontological Museum in Pagosa Springs WEBSITE:http://ontologicalmuseum.org URL:http://ontologicalmuseum.org CONTACT:817-944-4000 ORGANIZER;CN="Cecil Touchon":https://collagesociety.ning.com/profile/C ecilTouchon ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2443897613?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Ruud Jan ssen":https://collagesociety.ning.com/profile/RuudJanssen ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="bibiana padilla maltos":https://collagesociety.ning.com/profile/bibianapadilla maltos ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Isabel F erreira Alves":https://collagesociety.ning.com/profile/IsabelFerreiraA lves ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Keith Pa ce":https://collagesociety.ning.com/profile/KeithPace ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Terra Sh eridan":https://collagesociety.ning.com/profile/TerraSHeridan ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="MATTHEW ROSE":https://collagesociety.ning.com/profile/MATTHEWROSE ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Cecil To uchon":https://collagesociety.ning.com/profile/CecilTouchon ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Dilar P ereira":https://collagesociety.ning.com/profile/DilarPereira END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
