List of participants

Ultimatum! A rubber stamp correspondence art project with 38 authors from 13 countries connected by Vittore Baroni (related to BAU’s No. 4 issue).

This issue is related to a BAU project of the same name (No. 4), the theme of which concerns the contemporary condition of man continually subjected to media bombardment and a general state of alarmism that makes him experience life as a continuous ultimatum. For No. 4 of BAU, he requested 150 original works in UniA4 format, while for this issue of AP! he asked for the b/w design for an artiststamp. The artists' results are published here with the b/w image and a caption bearing the artist's name and a small description of the work: they range from a drawing of the monument of the Beaten Warrior (Peter Netmail) to two drawings on the precariousness of jobs by Silvia & Andrea Giusti to John Mountain's earthstamps regarding the climate change.
