VisPostal Opening Event - Performance by John M. Bennett and C. Mehrl Bennett
Two videos made by Josh Kaukl document a performance by John M. Bennett and C. Mehrl Bennett during the opening of VISPOSTAL, a mailart exhibit installed by Chris Wells, who put out the call for visual poetry mailart contributions, and arranged for video documentation of the opening performance. The Upstairs Art Space owner, Annalisa Ventola, is also to be congratulated for hosting the opening and the exhibit at her space in Columbus, OH. Part One video begins with "The Eternal Circle" as performed by Jeff Chenault (an audience member) and C. Mehrl Bennett. Both are wearing penny stoles as part of this ritual. Those penny stoles were previously worn by CMB and Diane Keys at this Chicago Fluxfest event documented at dadabloge - http://dadabloge.blogspot.com/2018/06/score-by-diane-keys-and-c.html in which "The Eternal Circle" was also performed, but with less LUCK generated that time, due to pennies disappearing into the grass at Portal Park. Part Two ends with another "Cents" or "Penny" piece called "Have Some Common Cents," for which CMB had circulated among the audience to gather their "two cents worth" in the piggy bank before the performance began.
