Dear Artist,as you surely know already, Quiliano’s SACS keeps organizing events, involving more and more Artists from all over the World. At the moment, we are working on "Artepace", a net-art project requiring Artists to express their own Art through a digital work, focusing on the peace/war theme. On the on-line magazine Peacereporter we are cooperating with, (www.peacereporter.net) you can find a lot of information and datas on the ongoing wars throughout the World. All the works will be published on line on the SACS website(www.sacsarte.net/page68/page68.php), as well as on www.peacereporter.net on the Hebdromedario weekend session.Therefore, here we are inviting you to take part to this event and send your own work of art to info@sacsarte.net, no later than April, 30th 2009.

M O N E Y mail-art call


Money appears to be disappearing at an alarming rate, so I am challenging Mail-Artists everywhere to pick up the slack and make their own. Of course I'm not encouraging anyone to counterfeit cash, but to create bills that would exist in a world run by artists instead of bankers.

DEADLINE 12/31/09
RESPONSE TO ALL
INCLUDE ADDRESS

Mail to:

6 Degrees of Seperation

"I am working on the basis of the ideas behind 6 degrees of separation. I wish to make connections with people I have no previous or any form of connection with already. Other things I will be exploring are the possibilities of strangers remembering you after making brief eye contact in the street and other such brief encounters with strangers that you know nothing about.

I therefore would love to be able to send disposable camera's to you for you to take photographs of things, whatever you like, and then send them back to me I will develop them, and then put the pictures onto flickr so you can view them. If you are interested in taking part in this mail-art experiment, please email me at: tizzz-htid@hotmail.co.uk "

We would be very appreciative if you would be able to spread the word as I know it would be greatly appreciated. You do a fantastic job with your site, by the way. I have had the opportunity to get involved with a few great projects through it.

Kind regards

Alice Ralph, on behalf of I.F.
