Specialties: mail art, printmaking
Reed Altemus is a
prominent mail artist and founder of Toner Works - a publishing concern
that publishes portfolios of copier art by contemporary artists.
Professor Altemus has one of the most extensive archives
of copier art in the world.
Reed
Altemus was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1961. He currently
lives in Portland, Maine.
He
had been educated in literature (BA English 1985), and is self-taught
in art. Formerly a musician, he started mail-art in 1989 through The
Texas magazine of Daniel Plunkett. He experimented with visual
art, xerography, rubber stamps, and other forms of communication. He
met Carlo Pittore, an influence who became a friend until his
death in 2005. Through him met Bern Porter.
In
1991 he discovered email at university and applied it to art networking
immediately. He worked for the internet art journal FineArt
Forum (National Science Foundation) for two years as database
moderator and compiled a list of Internet Art Resources, at
the time the most comprehensive of its kind (only one before had
been compiled by Bob Gale). In 1992 he compiled an International
Descriptive Bibliography of Copy Art. But he even continued to do
mail art along with the research. In 1996 he began working in
xerography exclusively and developed a small oeuvre between 1996
and 2006. He still does works in xerography on occasion.
In
2006 he realized that the technology was changing, providing fewer and
fewer opportunities for the kinds of interventions he had developed,
and so he began to turn towards working with the computer, (Corel Draw
and Photoshop), which became and remain the main tools up to the
present.
He
continuously does mail-art, printed matter and electronic
networking via email, FaceBook, other platforms.

Neil
Horsky is an interdisciplinary community artist and resident of
Roslindale, MA. He practices an instruction-based approach, informed by
the Fluxus Event Score art form, that removes the necessity for
traditional artistic skill from the creative process, and stresses
ideas and play over end products. Through inclusive and inviting
participatory projects, utilizing activities such as drawing, collage,
poetry, games, music, social intervention, and urban exploration and
mapping, he harnesses the inherent individual and collective creativity
of participants to promote dialogue, learning, cooperation and change.
His projects address a variety of issues including local history and
the urban built environment, diversity and multiculturalism, and
environmental and community stewardship.
