Phone Box - FRANCE

PHONE BOX INTERNATIONAL MAIL ART EXHIBITION

Please participate in an International Mail Art Exhibition I am organising in June on the themes of Phones, Post Boxes or anything to do with telecommunications.

My friends Eddy & Annette Duprey recently bought an old British telephone box and moved it -- at great expense and effort -- from the South of Wales to the South of France. And now this iconic traditional red phone box stands in somewhat isolated splendor in their garden.

To celebrate The Box's official opening on 14 June, 2013, I'm organising a Mail art Exhibition, as part of IUOMA's 25th Anniversary celebrations. Works received will be placed on and in the phone box.

Details of the Exhibition are as follows:

THEME: Phones, Phone Boxes, or anything to do with Telecommunications

DATE: 14 June, 2013. (It's a small phone box...and a small exhibition!)

SIZE: Anything -- but postcards preferred

TECHNIQUE: Free. Anything goes -- drawings, paintings, collages, assemblages...it's up to you (as long as they will fit in or on the Box).

VENUE: The British Telephone Box by the swimming pool, Chez Duprey, 9 Rue Jacques Prévert Emeraude, Sigean, France

DEADLINE: 10 June, 2013

CONDITIONS: No prizes, no jury, no returns, etc

PLEASE SEND YOUR MAIL ART TO:
Val Herman, 1 Rue de la Vieille Fontaine, F-11130 Sigean, France.

SUMMER IN SIGEAN/L’ETE A SIGEAN


Sigean is a small and beautiful village located in the South of France mid-way between Narbonne and Perpignan, and close to the Corbières and Pyrenees. (see www.sigean.fr)

There is a thriving Mail Art community in the village, and les Envelop-Pistes de Sigean will be holding an Exhibition of Envelopes in the local Médiathèque in August 2012.

The theme of the Envelope Exhibition is “Summer in Sigean”/ “L’Etè à Sigean”

You are invited to contribute an Envelope to this Exhibition.

Envelopes must be 16.5 x 16.5 cms /6.5 x 6.5 inches. (Sorry, but that is the standard format for the Exhibition, and only Envelopes of this size will be accepted).

The front of each Envelope should include a painting, drawing, collage, etc on the theme of “Summer in Sigean”/”L’Etè à Sigean”.

On the back of the Envelope please include your name, contact details and any other information that you think might be relevant.

Only the front of the Envelopes will be displayed in the Médiathèque (so there is no need to put anything inside your Envelope).

Please send your Envelopes to:

Médiathèque Municipale,

37 rue du Commerce,

F- 11130 SIGEAN,

France

before Monday 30 July, 2012.

There will be no jury, no fees, and no return of the Envelopes. A blog will be set up on which the received Envelopes can be seen.

Futher information can be obtained from Val Herman, care of IUOMA, and at billytulip1956@yahoo.com.
