circle, hole, point, poem, dot, map, mandala, short letter… you can call it as you wish.
The project, started in 1992 and entitled as “... circular things”, was now reactivated as a daily and non-stop edition in holeart.blogspot.com.
To participate just send a single 10cm diameter paper circle work by normal mail (please do not send by e-mail because of technical problems).
send to: César Figueiredo / apartado 4134 / P-4001-001 Porto / Portugal
