Beginning of 2009 I heard of the illness of my brother Jos Janssen. He was diagnosed cancer and had little chance to survive this cruel illness. I started the project "Send flowers to my brother" in which I asked the Mail-Art network to send flowers by mail for the last weeks my brother would have. On March 11th 2009 my brother died. He saw a lot of the mail that came in from the network. To remember these signs of warmth and caring I post all the mail that got in on this blog.

BRULESQUE
Burlesque Mail Art Call by Kat van Trollebol *Netherlands*
What is burlesque?
a literary or dramatic work that seeks to ridicule by means of grotesque exaggeration of comic imitation a mockery usually by caricature theatrical entertainment of a broadly humorous often earthy character consisting of short turns, comic skits and sometimes striptease acts
Burlesque is a direct descendant of the Commedia dell'arte where principal characters would carry a "burle" - a stick with a padded end - with which they would slap the other players for comic effect *the origin of "slapstick" comedy. Burlesque performers often create elaborate sets with lush, colorful costumers, mood appropriate music and dramatic lighting. Burlesque is a style of entertainment that encompasses pastiche, parody and wit. Send me some Burlesque mail art!
Deadline: July 2008
