CENTRO ITALIANO FEMMINILE MACERATA (CIF)
CIF, like every year, wants to honour women with an important demonstration meant to awaken the citizens' interest and to leave a tangible sequel to the day.
The intent is to honour them in the Arts, both visual and gastronomic; CIF is aware of the increasing attention of so many people taking part in concrete experiments during which they can learn useful and pleasant things.
To such intent the Association wishes to organize a Mail Art exhibition and also practical cooking sessions to teach how to economize, how to use good quality ingredients (biological produce), how to create new recipes and to use old ones which gratify the people who devote themselves to the art of cooking with pleasure and love.
To complete the project CIF will also organize a meeting in order to explain the basic principles of Mail Art and also the importance of using biological produce.

GREAT ELIODORO SPECCHI - MILLESIMO
Amico di Cesare Abba e Giuseppe Garibaldi
Notizie sulla morte del tenente colonnello Specchi.
da una ricerca di Luigi Ferrando
Dal giornale: “L’armonia della religione colla civiltà” di mercoledì 27 giugno 1866, anno XIX, n° 149
NOTIZIE VARIE
SUICIDIO
Un telegramma particolare in data di Molfetta, 23, reca la notizia che il Tenente Colonnello Specchi, nel reggimento dei volontari di Garibaldi, si uccise la mattina con un colpo di pistola, lasciando scritto:
“Nessuno si occupi della mia morte; l’onorevole posto affidatomi è superiore alle mia forze. Prego il bravo maggiore Tasca inviare a mia sorella Adele tutto ciò che mi appartiene. Augurando vittoria agli Italiani, prego il mio amato Generale Garibaldi a non dimenticare il suo povero Specchi”.
Il colonnello era da più giorni assai preoccupato della gravità dei suoi uffici. Le parole degli amici non valsero ad infondergli coraggio.

For Mailart Call And For Mailartists
On my site, there is a page (http://denis.charmot.free.fr/projets.htm ) on which I puts all the projects of mail art that one sending to me or that I find (your project is there). Its projects are in the source language. As much of mail artists wishing to take part in some of these projects did not understand them, I translated the page into French (small flag) . In order to diffuse these projects with the greatest number; in collaboration with Greg Bird (the USA) for English, Tiziana BARACCHI for the Italian, Ivan Zemtsov in Russian, Rene Z Garza for Spanish and BACIU OANA RALUCA in Rumanian; we created mirrors pages in the various languages (click on the small flags to see the different page).

Blue String Drawing
Mail Art Project: Blue String Drawing #1212
There will be three sets of 10 small envelopes. Each set of 10 is the same. So we will have the same thing three times. Each set of ten will be bound by a blue string, forming a single unit.
They will be MAILED: three packages going to three different places at the same time.
The people who receive the packages only have to take a picture of the Blue String Drawing in some particular location that is easily accessible to them. These will be Reference Points, which we will plot on a map. When they have taken the picture like they are supposed to do, then they email the picture to us and MAIL the package to the next person who is going to receive it. Once we have the picture we give them the address to where they are supposed to send the package next. Once the package arrives there the process is repeated until finally...
Each package will in the end arrive and be photographed at each of the Cleopatra's Needles (Paris, London and New York City) on Dec 12, 2012 at 3:35 pm.
We will document this journey at each stage.
We are looking for people all over the world who will receive the packages, photograph them, and forward them to the next person. The express interest and learn more please reply to:

Bizarre Cities tom VII: Spring 2009
Dear friends and mail artists,
I like to announce the new theme for next year's edition of Bizarre Cities: This time I like to explore the theme of "surveillance". All the global conspiracy theorists, CCTV collectors, state security lovers and street art activists among you are cordially invited to contribute.
The rules are the same as always: please submit 25 copies of a visual artwork in the format A4 (21x29,7cm or 8,27"x11,69" or something close to this). Please try to remain creative and avoid the "I want to be in" b/w photocopy, please. Bizarre Cities always contains a good number of "traditional" art techniques, like etchings, woodcuts or drawings. Texts are most welcome and could be submitted electronically.
For this theme I could also imagine receiving some short videos which would be burned on a CD and published together with the magazine.
I would suggest that your contribution should arrive not later than 31 December 2008.
As usual the copyleft and right remains with the authors and each contributor receives a copy of the assembling.
In case you are interested, please contact me. This makes it easier for resource planning and will avoid surprises at the censorship offices.
Regards, Mailworks@Bruxelles

Mail-Art Responses to TRENCH ART
MAIL ART CALL: MAIL ART RESPONSES TO TRENCH ART
Next year the Roanoke Marginal Arts Festival will include an exhibit of Trench Art.
Trench art is commonly defined as any decorative item made by soldiers, prisoners of war or civilians, where the manufacture is directly linked to armed conflict or its consequences.
Common articles that this includes are decorated shell and bullet casings and items carved from wood and bone.
To the uninitiated, all trench art, by definition, was made by a soldier sitting in a trench in France during the First World War, in the midst of a bombardment. To the cynics, it was all made in the 1920s by enterprising French and Belgian citizens. The reality is, naturally, a mix of these extremes, and everything in between, and spans conflicts from the Napoleonic Wars to the present day. (from the Wikipedia entry)
We will have an exhibit space in the building next to the gallery hosting the Trench Art exhibit.
Deadline: February 1, 2009
Exhibit dates: February 20 - 24
Size/Medium/Technique: Free
No jury, no fees, no returns

* Why Lisbona? Luigi Baccino's secret papers - A R T - P R O J E C T - FLU X US * LUIGI BACCINO - PERCHE' LISBONA?
Ritratto ad olio di Luigi Baccino fu Cirillo - 1887 (Felice Serono pinxit)
[vai al blog ARTISTAMP 2008 - Canada]
A Genova, nel febbraio 1895, Luigi Baccino nominava suo procuratore generale il signor Giacomo Queirolo che era stato suo amico in Sudamerica. Poi sparì. Interrogato Queirolo, egli disse che Luigi Baccino si era stabilito a Lisbona in Portogallo.
Perchè Lisbona? Luigi Baccino era già andato a Lisbona in precedenza?
Ma non si ebbero più notizie di Baccino. Si fecero varie ricerche in Portogallo interpellando anche l'ambasciata italiana e altrove fece indagini la polizia, ma del benefattore cairese nessuna traccia. Si seppe che presso l'Uffico Centrale delle Poste di Lisbona vi erano giacenti cartoline e lettere indirizzate a Luigi Baccino, ma lui risultava sconosciuto.
Fu ritrovato un orologio d'oro nel porto di Marsiglia e si disse che era l'orologio di Baccino...
Chi era Luigi Baccino?
------------->vedi blog: http://gasparebuffa.blogspot.com/
Ma dove sparì il Baccino Luigi fu Cirillo detto il Goggio?
Dopo cento anni dalla nascita (1825) il Comune di Cairo Montenotte ebbe il possesso di tutti i suoi beni in quanto curatore dell'Asilo Baccino che è il beneficiario, per testamento (18881), di tutte le sostanze patrimoniali e rendite varie.
Quest'anno a Cairo Montenotte è stato inaugurato il Palazzo di Città, opera fatta costruire dal Baccino, terminata nel 1893 e ristrutturata ad arte negli ultimi anni.
Ma sugli ultimi giorni di Luigi Baccino nessuna risposta...
Anche su suggerimento di amici artisti, ho pensato di lanciare un progetto di mail art per chi capisce l'italiano: dalla fantasia degli artisti può arrivare, forse, qualche indicazione utile per continuare la ricerca.
Scadenza del progetto: 31 dicembre 2008.
Elaborate la foto qui sopra riprodotta e spedite i vostri interventi a:

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - Falco subbuteo subbuteo (The Hobby)
FALCO SUBBUTEO SUBBUTEO (THE HOBBY)
This is mail art in that it uses mail, but it's different from most of the calls for mail art that I've seen, as follows:
a) it's for an existing artwork rather than a mail art show per se
b) it's directed and therefore compromised
But this still involves postal mail, rather than e-mail, because a made mark on a piece of paper is de facto required. I suppose you could do this digitally by altering/wrecking the pdf if the fancy so takes you, but... Here goes - I would positively welcome mail response to add to an ongoing artwork called Falco subbuteo subbuteo (The Hobby). It's about birdwatching (and art). And football.
This also features on www.mcgoldrick-art.org/7.htm. A bird may or may not have been removed from the picture. You are invited to print off a pdf (here or see link on the web page above) and then use your skill and judgment to mark the exact center of the bird on the picture. If you then send it back to me at the location quoted on the pdf, supplying your name and address where shown, I’ll cut it out and put your contribution on a table in front of an enlarged version of the image. And put it in two art exhibitions, one in London in Nov 2008, the other in Plymouth in Feb 2008. And more shows, as the piece grows.
If you are really up for it, by all means make a number of marks on the paper, at no cost to you beyond your time and inclination. Or make just one (mark). Or whatever. And if you're really worried about identity, just make up a name and address. But I need people to enter some sort of details there or the work begins to disappear.
For those of you interested, this work will feature in a large group show called The Animal Gaze that I've also curated (full now, I'm afraid), alongside a university symposium on the subject. Mail art or not, I'm always interested in looking at new ideas/work from artists whose subject is animals. So if you know of anyone like this, contact me from The Animal Gaze website...
For those of you with the time, here's a non-academic, non-art-theory text about figuration and animals. It's published on the back of some of the completed mail-pieces currently sitting in a pile on a table beneath the image in my studio.
And if you do complete the pdf and send it to me, well - thank you for your time and generosity.
Regards,
Rosemarie McGoldrick (Shacklewell)

For those of you with the time, here's a non-academic, non-art-theory text about figuration and animals. It's published on the back of some of the completed mail-pieces currently sitting in a pile on a table beneath the image in my studio.
Taken from an appendix to the wildlife guide Birds & Mammals of Crete by George Sfikas (1989), under the heading ‘Problems of Illustration’.Mr Sfikas sums it up - as good a guide as any, I think.
The greatest problem that I had to face in order to complete this book was the illustration. Unfortunately, I had in my hands only a small part of the necessary photographic material mine or borrowed by my friend Triantaphillos Adamokopoulos. To collect photos for covering the needs of such a book would demand plenty of means (telephocus etc.) as well as some years of work in the country. But the necessity of issueing a book for the birds of Crete the soonest possible, made impossible, at least for the present moment, the following of this method.
The case of buying some slides from Greek or foreigner ornithologists to take photographs of birds since many years was excluded from the very beginning as the cost of the book should be increased too much and its issue should not be profitable.
Naturally as a painter I could find refuge in the solution of the painting illustration. Although, it would demand work of at least three years, which should be paid, increasing again the cost of the entire issue.
In front of this impasse, I took refuge in the only realizable solution, under these conditions, that means the solution of photomontaz. I cut very carefully pictures of birds and mammals from different books and putting it on a suitable background photograph, looking like their natural environment I photographed it again with slides. I achieved in this way an enough satisfactory result. The most important is that this result cannot be considered to be “robbery” as there is a reformation and a creation of a new photograph.
The 90% of the pictures in this book are result of photomontaz system. The rest of the pictures are real photographs of alive or embalmed mammals or birds. The name of the owner is referred under the photographs that are not mine.
And if you do complete the pdf and send it to me, well - thank you for your time and generosity.

Rosemarie McGoldrick (Shacklewell)

NO! To Prison Planet! No to Walls! No to Panopticons! No to being a Living Dead! No to being a Prisoner!

NO! To Prison Planet! No to Walls! No to Panopticons! No to being a Living Dead!
