[BKARTS] Collaboration question follow-up
Hello,
Below is a summary of the answers I received to

Ø Laurel Poetry Collective. Our group has a
four year charter to publish beautiful and
affordable books and broadsides. Four of us --
Georgia Greeley, Eileen O'Toole, Nancy Walden,
and Regula Russelle--have worked as the
Collective's letterpress team. Over the span of
three years we've created a broadside for each of
the 21 poet members. This year, the four of us
printed a small letterpress printed book that
contains short pieces about the work of poetry by
each member. Our book is called "The Double
Meaning of Yield." The Collective is in the
process of getting a new web site up. Our old site is www.laurelpoetry.com
Ø Ann E. Grasso initiated a collaboration
effort among twelve artists that lasted 1-1/2
years. It is named Box Collaboration because each
of the twelve artist?s initial efforts was to
create a box into which the contributions of
other artists would be housed. The project will
be presented to the public next year.
Ø "Paper Passages" by Allison Cooke Brown
and Martha Hall consists of @70 entries in
various artists' book formats which are stored in
boxes. A correspondence collaboration between two
women surrounding their experiences with breast cancer.
Ø Miriam Schaer / Michelle Valladares Doll
Dresses. Schaer printed a vintage doll dress onto
handmade paper and gave it to the poet who
responded to it. Schaer then printed the poem on
the prints of the dresses. Edition of 6.
Ø Miriam Schaer / Mary Florio The Posture
Queen, edition of 25. Poems based on memories of
and ephemera collected by the artist about a true
event called ?The Posture Queen.?
Ø For one year, painter Kimberly MacArthur
Graham and I [Kathryn T.S. Bass] engaged in a
conversation about our experiences as artists and
women. Each time we met, we shared tea and
exchanged the new paintings and poems that were
emerging out of this conversation. Kimberly
painted panels that responded to my poetry, and I
wrote poems that responded to her paintings.
Centering on issues of loss, creativity,
fertility, and feminism, the original pieces,
framed in painting/poem pairs, became the subject
of a two-month exhibition at the Western Colorado
Center for the Arts in Grand Junction, Colorado.
In order to best capture the many layers of
intertwined meaning, we also created a book,
Within/Without: A Conversation in Poetry and Painting.
