Round Table Collaboration Postal Collage Project
The terms “participant” and “collaborator” both refer to the person registering to participate.
THE PROJECT
The Round Table Collaboration Postal Collage Project is an annual, global, mail-art project produced by Berkeley Commonplace.
CALENDAR
Throughout the month of August, a collaborator list is assembled. In the final days of August, working groups are established. The work schedule runs in monthly stages from the first of September through the end of February. Exhibition season begins in late March and concludes at the end of August.
COSTS
There is no fee to participate, but collaborators pay their own postage. There is an option to join a Low-Postage group for the sake of thrift or feasibility.
AUTHORSHIP
Each and every collaborator initiates one collage, and completes that collage after their fellow collaborators have contributed to it. Each collaborator is considered the Principal Author of the collage they start and finish, and a Contributing Author of those to which they contributed.
OWNERSHIP
At the end of the exhibition season, each Principal Author will make arrangements to retrieve their collage, or allow it to become part of the Berkeley Commonplace Collaborative Collage Collection. The Collection is catalogued and maintained for posterity, and selections are included in ongoing, rotating exhibitions.
Retrieval by mail will be subject to postage & handling costs. If, by the end of the calendar year, no arrangements for retrieval have been made, that collage becomes part of The Collection.
DOCUMENTATION
Any documentary material, including, but not limited to, progress pictures and collaborator notes, may be used, in whole or in part, to promote the Project, the Producer, or the Program. Collaborator requests for non-use of their documentation, in whole or in part, will be considered.
AGREEMENT
Agreement with these terms implies that the participant has read the Project Description, Notes, and Schedule, and finds nothing therein to interfere with their interest or ability to participate. Additionally, the participant agrees to abide the schedule, to complete the collage they started, and to make it available for exhibition, all to the best of their ability and according to prevailing conditions.
