Trashpo Nuevo by Yvonne Kettner (Duisburg, Germany)

 

"Aah Trashpo" by Yvonne Kettner (Duisburg, Germany) (2020)

The original "movement" that made Trashpo a leading force in mail art of the last decade seems to have subsided. The gathering of artistic & poetic geniuses now known as the "Legends of Trashpo" have moved on to evolutionary chakras beyond Trashpo. They have committed themselves to spiritual quests or - as in the cases of Queen of Trash Diane Keys & Lucky Pierre - simply vanished from the public eye. 

Stop the presses! Just when you thought it might be safe to dive back into the dumpster, a new generation of exciting, brilliant mail artists at IUOMA-Ning are exploring Trashpo & re-defining & re-newing it!

Your ever-vigilant culture workers here at the Glam Faction are committed to bringing you the freshest news in terms of Eternal Network doings. So we will keep you abreast of the Trashpo new wave beginning with these breath-taking works by Yvonne Kettner of Germany. 

Yvonne posted these (what we'll call) Trashpo Nuevo pieces at the IUOMA-Ning gallery, where - of course - they are a FAB hit!. Yvonne Kettner kindly provided these elegant scans for us to share with Glamsters! Tney are beautifully united by the eternal Trashpo theme of pizza. Yet Yvonne has added her own aesthetic stamp to the tropes of traditional Trashpo.

Welcome to Yvonne Kettner. We look forward to sharing more of her art in the future as well as Trashpo Nuevo by other emerging networkers.
