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
Documentation: on Flickr and a blog
(please include your email address for notification of documentation)

* 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:

Fondazione Arte Invisibile - cas. post. 163 - 17014 Cairo Montenotte Italia
