Shinsuke Aso: Postcard (SAPC)

Presented by MINUS SPACE

Atlantic Avenue ArtWalk08
Atlantic Gardens
Brooklyn, NY

June 2008

MINUS SPACE presented Shinsuke Aso: Postcard (SAPC) — part installation, part performance, part micro enterprise.  SAPC is a postcard company run by artist Shinsuke Aso as a long-term performance. He makes postcards with found cardboard, packages, newspapers, and magazines, and then sells them for 25 cents each. The idea for SAPC derives from the global market system, in which anything can be a source of business, as well as how small economies can depend on trust among people. The postcard is simultaneously an artwork and a communication device, all depending on how the audience chooses to view it.

Shinsuke Aso (b. 1979, Gunma, Japan) has exhibited his work nationally and internationally.  Recent exhibitions include Tobey Fine Arts, The Center for Book Arts, Flux Factory (all NYC), and Maebashi Cultural Institute (Gunma, Japan).  He holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, NYC, where he first began his SAPC project. Aso lives and works in Brooklyn.
