The mail art project Posdata: Esperanza Recuerda (hope remembered) goes back to 2014. For the 7th edition the group that is coordinated by Consuelo Vallejo Delgado and Pedro Osákar Olaiz was looking for public signs.
In the initial call they stated:
“We are developing an investigation about visual semiotic poems on the basis of guiding signs (mainly traffic signs, but others are accepted as well). Up to now, we have compiled more than 200. If you know any artwork of this kind which have already been published or displayed, we would be grateful if you could send the image, place, and date of publication (…)”
Exhibition
The results of the call will are on display between February 19 and March 31 at the Facultad de Bellas Artes of the University of Granada (España).
The photo on top of the page shows works by Franklin Valverde (Brazil), Suzlee Ibrahim (Malaysia), Michelangelo Mayo (USA), Koz Karen Olguín (Chile), Ela Rabasco (Madrid, España), Raimon Blu (Almeria, España), Horst Tress (Germany) and Marcia Rosenberger (Brazil).
This is Gerald’s card which features photographs from Germany, Spain, Portugal, Cuba, Greece and South Africa.
There is also a blog with an electronic catalog of all seven editions.
