AFTER ANN LET US REBEL REBEL

NEW MAIL ART PROJECT: AFTER ANN LET US REBEL REBEL

The deadline for The book of ANN (Friour project 12) is 31 December 2011.

The past year was great on a MAIL ART and KITTY level, so THANX to all who contributed and exchanged art and ideas.

I now present the successor for 2012 and already email my season greetings to YOU ALL.

FRIOUR project 13 is on rebellion, contestation, protest in all its meanings: artistic, political, social, cultural, historical and present ones.

I dedicate this 2012 project to all mail artists who have told me they like my art but PLEASE Guido stay away from politics! They are forgetting that all the great art movements of the modernist past (Dada, Surrealism, Cobra, Situationism) were involved in attempts to change society. So REBEL REBEL aka the essence of art expressions by artists living in society, rooted in all the social and cultural contradictions of the world. Because after all it is not only Wall street we need to occupy because the public domain is our space. Reclaim the streets indeed!!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE, TO THE ANIMALS, TO THE TREES AND TO THE ASTONISHING STONES OF OUR UNIVERSE (it is OUR universe: not belonging to banks, corporations, dictators, the state, the police or other self proclaimed authorities: we are the world, the world are we, so REBEL REBEL till you drop, don’t shop, burn all billboards down, spit on your local flag and embrace humanity as a whole, for XXX sake, REBEL REBEL till the end of time, REBEL against death and REBEL against the way we live or against those who impose us how to live.

Take responsibilty of your own life and destinity, this means also taking responsibility of our planet and existence in our own hands. Don’t depend of power, create your own power, or refute power altogether!

Schooldays in Artlife

MAIL ART CALL Invitation / Reminder

---

Dear mail art networker,

From time to time the Netherlands are hyped up with the Van Gogh fever. In particular the region where I live is flooded with interest in every spot, where Vincent van Gogh printed his footsteps. Van Gogh was born here, grew up and went to school in several villages around me. With mixed feelings I am happy to be in the eye of the hurricane. No strong whirlings yet in Van Gogh’s schooldays. He attended secondary school in Tilburg. The school is named Koning Willem II College after a Dutch king and in Van Gogh’s days it was located in his former palace. Van Gogh was one of the very few students at the time - from 1866 to 1868 - good marks. Suddenly Van Gogh vanished from the schoolrecords into his wandering life, leaving us behind uncertain. There is only a school photo left with Vincent van Gogh in the foreground.

Is your schoollife traceless in your artlife?

I am a teacher of history of art at this school. Art education at the school where I teach young people is a very old tradition. Van Gogh had his first drawinglessons from my predecessor. In 1990 I based a mail art project on this fact.
I am very proud to be an art teacher in this particular historic environment.

Now I want to reanimate the project
