IUOMA logo's

I collect all logo's that were made for IUOMA (see http://www.iuoma.org). They are published on a blog (see:http://iuomalogos.blogspot.com/ , but I intend to use them also in a book that is being prepared. If you have any logo's (and add the name of the creator), I am most happy to receive them at info@iuoma.org or you can also send prints and designs to:

IUOMA

The IUOMA started in 1988 and has it's own Social Network at: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/ where almost 2000 members arrange their activities from that place. We expect two celebrations soon: The 2000th member, and also in November the 3 year on NING.

Thanks for your sendings!

THE BOOK OF ANN

THE BOOK OF ANN is the 12th FRIOUR project.

Who is Ann? Well for me she's a great gall and a good friend.

For you she's a mythical femail. Let's construct together the book of Ann. Tell me how you see Ann. What's her story? What's her life? How does she thinks? How does she feel? How does she act? Is she a rebel? Is she a mother? Is she the salt of the earth?

Free size and medium. Deadline is 31 December 2011. All your contributions will be united in a book presented to Ann on Valentine's Day or on her birthday (but that's my business and not for you to know). Documentation on a new blog:

http://thebookofAnn.blogspot.com

Mail your contributions (text and poems are also more than welcome) to:

The book of Ann,
c/o Guido Vermeulen,
Thomas Vinçottestreet 81,
B-1030 Brussels,
Belgium.

Note that all unfriendly femail mail art will be banned! Please mail such rubbish to Sarah Palin, queen of the T party.

Description:

B&W Version of Statements Collection on Mail-Art by Ruud Janssen. Reprint of statements written in period 1993-2008 on the subject of mail-art. These statements were first published as pamphlets. Later on the Internet, and now as a collection in one book. Some statements and texts were also published on the Internet first and later as print-out sent into the network. The last part of this book contains visual statements made when the Millennium came about and most recent is an overview of the slides used at a lecture at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam explaining the concept of mail-art. In the past 28 years Ruud Janssen has intensively written about how E-mail and Internet would change mail-art, and it has.

A colour-version of the book is also available. See an overview of all publications at:

Because I know some people don't want to order online I will see how I can help there. When I order the books myself and send them out, postage is paid twice. Cheapest way is to order straight from LuLu. But when I have stock here in Breda I can determine how heavy a package is and what the extra postage is. Next month I will give the details.
