A NEOIST RESEARCH PROJECT / A TRIP TO AKADEMGOROD: Jan / Feb 84 [Arte Postale No. 46]
Neoism - equal parts parodic art movement and subcultural affiliation - drew electic inspiration from the Fluxus, Dada, conceptual art, and Language poetry movements, reaching a peak of activity in the early 1980s followed by schism and decline.
This collection is one of a long-running series of limited-edition mailings organized by Baroni beginning in the late '70s: "This tourist portfolio commemorates the first international flight to Akademgorod (the Promised Land of Neoism) as organized in January 84 by Agenzia Neoista Italiana." Contributors include Jurgen Olbrich, Clemente Padin, Henning Mittendorf, Emilio Morandi, David Zack, Carlo Pittore, Boris Wanowitch, Eva Lake, Ginny Lloyd, Al Ackerman, Pete Horobin, and "Monty Cantsin;" the latter was an "open pop star" identity initiated by Istvan Kantor and used freely and widely by various Neoist artists, as were later iterations "Karen Eliot" and "Luthor Blisset."
