Anna Banana: Bananapost (Twenty Years of Fooling Around with A. Banana)
“A long-time player in the International Mail-Art Network, her current work focuses largely on the stamp as an art form. For this, her 20th anniversary of ‘going bananas,’ she has created a special limited edition stamp sheet and book, Twenty Years of Fooling Around with A. Banana. These publications offer visual highlights and a brief ‘itinerary’ of her activities, year by year, since 1970. A Master’s Degree of Bananaology will be awarded to all ‘graduates’ of her talk and screening sessions, or to contributors of banana anecdotes for her ongoing, work-in-progress, the Encyclopedia Bananica.” (grunt press release,1990)
“Ms. Banana battles the forces of opression as ‘Banana’ is banned on personal license plates in in BC & Saskatchewan, due to its ‘sexual connotations’.” (Twenty Years of Fooling Around with A. Banana, 1990)
