A **Bookmarker** Show

An Open Call To all International Mail Artists:


You are invited to participate in an International Bookmarker Art show.

The Plainsboro Library of Plainsboro, New Jersey, USA, is sponsoring an arts festival called Cultural Crossroads.
We are asking mail artists from around the world to submit a decorated bookmarker (or two!) to help us celebrate the connection and community that mail artists create by sharing their work.

We expect many participants of all ages to come see this show, and to make their own bookmarkers as they are inspired by your amazing creative addition. Lots of children from our very diverse community will both see your work, and create their own at our festival. We are thrilled to be building bridges of connection from all over the world to our corner here in Central New Jersey.

Since this theme of Cultural Crossroads represents diversity, we are especially delighted to have an international representation in this bookmarker show.

Please decorate the enclosed bookmarker in any way you would like – drawing or painting, collage, words, or whatever moves you.
If you like, you can incorporate our theme of Cultural Crossroads.

Please mail back the bookmarks no later than June 15, 2008 to:

Cultural Crossroads Bookmarkers
c/o Emily Townsend
19 Sapphire Dr.
West Windsor, NJ 08550 USA

We must receive the bookmarkers before the end June, 2008, in order to be included in the show.

We will be selling all the bookmarkers to help us raise funds to build a new library.

Thank you so much for your creative participation – and if you cannot help, please feel free to pass this letter and bookmarkers along to someone who might want to!

MAILART /// VISUAL POETRY . Calls 2007

The mailbox from all that it comes for this way. El Taller de Zenon tries to classify it, but not always it coincides with the author. The border between the different artistic fields every day is mas diffuse and the theoretical ones do not put in agreement in the limits of every field. After years of study to discover the differences, we have decided that only the author is authorized to decide where to fit his work.

Link to Plexus removed

On my IUOMA-site I removed the link to the oneworld forum that runs on plexus. Moderator of this forum is Honeria. After not being on the forum for a year, I checked yesterday the link and discovered the forum is used to exhange porno-links. I do not want to link to such a site. I informed Honoria about the state of her forum. She confirmed that this is so for months already. She now asked the organisation Plexus to remove the content. I also discovered a lot of older mail-art sites still link to this forum. I advise them to remove the link as well.

Call for Work - Calling all Artists.

The making of mail as art, “mail art” has a history stretching back at least to the 1950s. Mail art has in the past rooted in a rejection of the commerce and exclusivity of the gallery show. The making of mail art, “mail-art” continues to be a common practice in an age dominated by electronic communication. This exhibition will continue to break down the division between the mailbox and the gallery. To that end, Niagara County Community College Art Gallery is seeking submissions for an upcoming exhibition, aiming to display the myriad manifestations of mail art. Artists working in all media are encouraged to participate. The topic and content of each piece is solely the choice of the artist. Artists are asked to produce one piece of mail art and send it to guest curator Becky Moda. Your work will be displayed in a cataloged group exhibition in the Spring. After the exhibition closes, each participating artist will receive via mail the work of another artist. “Senders receive,” as mail artists say.

The mail art movement is uniquely populist and non-commercial, involving non-traditional distribution methods and the potential for global reach. Let's breathe new life into this fascinating movement, which predated and in some ways predicted the artist networking boom enabled by the internet.

It is asked that the artists adhere to the following guidelines: 

1. Please send one piece of mail art to: Mail Art, NCCC Gallery, Niagara County Community College, 3111 Saunders Settlement Road, Sanborn, New York 14132-9460 by February 14, 2008.

2. The mail art can take any shape, in two or three dimensions. Pieces can expand when opened, but must be easily re-mailed for less than five dollars. 

Email any questions to beckymoda@gmail.com

Anything Goes

THEME: Anything Goes

I run an online art gallery at http://www.theemergenceproject.com so what I would like to do is collect as much mail art as possible and then show it on my website. I will send mail art back to everybody that participates. Thanks!

For my exhibition please send me any medium that deal with any technique.

Deadline: 31.03.2008

Psychic TV

PSYCHIC TV MAILART CALL
OK, hands up who remembers the great 80s band Psychic TV ? Founded by the legendary Genesis P-Orridge it's fanclub TOPY (Temple Ov Psychick Youth) became a kind of modern day cult, exploring the boundaries of Chaos Magic and Thelema. The Psychic Cross symbol (trademark wholly owned by Genesis P-Orridge etc etc) intertwined with the synchronistic number 23 cropped up everywhere from album covers to tatoos to the necks of other musicians such as Sleep Chamber.
Ironically Genesis was involved in mailart himself (together with Monte Cazzazza) and suffered at the hands of the British postal service for the items they sent through the mail. Interestingly the primary medium Genesis employed was collage. This later developed further into the Sigils of TOPY which were more aligned to works of collage than the traditional sigils of hermetic and solomonic magic.

Send your art (closing date January 31st 2008) to PTV MAILART, Planet Dada, 11 Menin Road, Allestree, Derby DE22 2NL, UK.

Email submissions can be sent to planetdada@yahoo.co.uk with PTV MAILART in the subject. No jury, No returns, Online Documentation.

Nanking

MAIL ART CALL - In memory of the Rape of Nanking

The Rape of Nanking was an infamous war crime committed by the Japanese military in and around the then capital of China, after it fell to the Imperial Japanese Army on December 13, 1937.The extent of the atrocities is debated between China and Japan. A number of Japanese researchers consider 100,000 – 200,000 to be an approximate value. Other nations usually believe the death toll to be between 150,000 – 300,000. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East stated that 20,000 (and perhaps up to 80,000) women were raped.(more informations at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanking_Massacre )
