Seattle Artist needs promotional credit cards for art projec

Post by Mars Bar » Mon May 26, 2008 7:20 pm

I am trying to build a giant gown out of credit cards. The title of my piece is "Miss U(sed)SA." It's a statement about the lure of more; the seduction of commercialism in America. I need your help to accrue more material for this project. I am specifically looking for promotional credit cards that come in the mail (of the "your name here" variety), although expired gift and credit cards are also great. I hope someone out there knows someone who has been hoarding these things, but I am happy to recruit the assistance of many helpful Burners. I need about 1000 to complete the project and I have about 100 so far. You can send them to me at:
6310 Phinney Ave N #2 Seattle, WA 98103.

Please know that I am committed to everyone's security so any expired credit or gift cards that I receive will be effaced so that no personal information will be discernible.

Please forward this appeal if your have any leads or resources for source material. Thank you thank you.
