Flowers for Jos Janssen (1956-2009)

http://flowersforjos.blogspot.com/

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.

Ship It II

www.ouchmyeye.com/2009/shipit
Saturday, July 18th, 2009 – 7:00 PM
Submissions Accepted: July 4th –July 18th
Closing: September 3rd, 2009

What can be sent in the mail? Who really sees those things en route? Think about the monotonous days that you could brighten for some bored postal employee. Last year we got an oar, $100 in pennies, a life preserver, dinnerware, and a special note from Portland to Seattle on an old frozen pizza box.

Ship your art Between July 4th and July 18th. Everything sent will be displayed. Nothing will be opened. Remember, if it has the right postage, the postal service will deliver.

Mail Art Research Project

Hi!
The web exhibition in the theme of "What mail art means to me?" is now complete.
You can find it from here: http://mailartmeans.blogspot.com/.

I received lots of mail art and I´m very grateful for that. Altogether I
received 66 artworks from 11 different countries.

My recearch for my bachelors degree is also now finished. The subject for my
research was "How internet has effected to mail art and what meaning mail art
has to the mail artists." Unfortunately it´s in finnish. I was planning to write
a short article in english to the website but it has to wate for now, because
I´m going to travel the next two months. I will inform again when I have
completed the article.

Thank you for everybody who participated by answering to the survey or by
sending me mail art, it was very helpful for my research!


Yours Miina Ruokonen

Overview Mail-Artists - Lutz Wohlrab - Germany

Two years ago my son Konrad had the idea to set up a Mail Artists' Index on the blogging platform Wordpress. Some problems cumulated beforehand when we were using Wikipedia to publish biographies. Entries as well as images had been deleted.

Using http://mailartists.wordpress.com/ gives us a lot more opportunities and space. We are able to present short biographies and three representative images for each artist featured in our list. We link to address lists, new projects and to the artists'

websites. We furthermore present some bibliographical material and a news site. Up to now 104 entries were produced, on average one per week.

Statistics show 36 000 clicks - with increasing interest. Birger Jesch has been supporting us from day one.

For the future we wish for some correspondents from abroad who will compile biographies of the most interesting Mail Artists of their respective countries.
