Betreff: call for entries

Dear Artist: 
We invite you to exhibit in "Your Documents Please"  a traveling show we 
are
sponsoring that will open April 4, 2008 in Japan at the Museum of Arts and
Crafts­Itami. 
We are seeking work that functions visually or conceptually as if it were 
an
identification document. and is about the size of a conventional passport
(and flat enough to transport easily). This could mean that the work
addresses pre-existing forms of ID (such as Passports or drivers' 
licenses)
and their political connotations (such as bureaucracy, profiling, the 
image
a country projects to outsiders, the nature of identity, etc.) or it could
mean any small scale art work (abstract, figure, text, etc.) since any
personal expression can be thought of as a form of identification.

There will be artists from many countries participating, especially
including Japan, Hungary and Slovakia where we already have venues to
exhibit as well as the US where we also expect it will travel.  Having the
broadest range of interpretations of a Passport size ID document in an
international context with many artists will maximize the interest for
viewers of the exhibition.  Instead of labels for the works, we plan to
generate standardized ID documents from supporting materials submitted by
email which will be displayed below each artist's work.

The ID artwork must be in Brooklyn or Japan by March 20, 2008 in order for
it to be in the April 4 opening. We wish to get preliminary confirmation 
of
participation before December 15.

Please visit our website:
http://www.maruda.info/
which has further information and will be updated regularly. Also, our
contact in Slovakia is working on funding for an exhibition catalogue.

Please reply as soon as possible and feel free to ask us or the curators 
if
you have further questions. Also let us know how to contact others who you
think we should invite to participate.

Yours, András  Böröcz and Robbin Silverberg

Curators: Daniel Georges and Rumi Tsuda
