1962-2012 – 50 YEARS of MAIL ART

1962-2012 – 50 YEARS of MAIL ART
in homage to RAY JOHNSON,
from the NEW YORK CORRESPONDANCE SCHOOL OF ART

From this lucky intuition of the american artists Edward M. Plunkett and Ray Johnson, that gave life to the international network more frequented of the art history (the MAIL ART), fifty years passed.
Relations, exchanges, meetings, interventions, projects etc. are alternate always in a climate of active and continuous participation, overcoming any political and ideological barrier.
This “dance” of artistic correspondence involved and still involves all the Nations. Now, these
are invited to celebrate together this important anniversary, sending a sign of renewed adherence, love and gratitude to a “School” that had been in position to join artists of all the world, in a kind of “artistic collective story”, testimony of “to make art” through the sharing, the gift and the absolute freedom.

Pelee Island Community Arts

Mail Art Project

Pelee Island Community Arts (Art Works) would like to invite artists to participate in a mail art project for Spring of 2011. Spring is a time of great activity on the island, the migration of thousands of birds visit Pelee on their way to more northern climates and cottagers and tourists arrive to take advantage of Pelee's isolation and natural beauty. Therefore, the theme of this project is FLIGHT. Art submitted for this project will be displayed at Pelee Island Community Arts gallery as well as online via their website. The deadline for the submissions is May 6, 2011. Please only submit entries that are postcard sized (4x6”). There will be mailed documentation for all participants, but please include a SASE with submission. Multiple submissions are welcome. There are no returns, no jury and no fee to participate.

Please remit artworks to:
Suzanne Friemann/co Pelee Art Works,
82 East West Road,

(ABAD) A BOOK ABOUT DEATH: The Ties That Bind

Bay Shore, New York
Reception: Saturday, 13 August 2011
Exhibition: 31 July–2 September 2011
Deadline to Gallery: 15 July 2011

Artists are invited to create their own book pages that illustrate their unique interpretations of THE TIES THAT BIND all living things universally through death. They may also choose to celebrate the ties that now bind all ABAD artists throughout the world (courtesy of Ray Johnson and Matthew Rose). Any interpretation is welcome.
All these pages will then be bound together in a handmade book. A BOOK ABOUT DEATH will finally become a hand-bound book produced by global artists.

This new exhibit will feature for the first time, work from worldwide artists that are actual pages
like Ray Johnson originally created in 1963, and NOT postcards

Create a one- or two-sided piece on a 5.5” x 8.5” (Digest Size) sheet of paper (PAPER–not card stock).

Format may be vertical or horizontal. It does NOT have to say "A Book About Death" anywhere on it.
Submit two copies—one will be hung on the walls of the gallery and the other will be bound into a handmade volume, thereby furnishing an Omega to the Alpha of the Unbound Book of the original show. The book will be handmade and bound by an original ABAD artist, LuAnn T. Palazzo (TheDesignDiva.net), and also displayed at the exhibition.

The exhibited book(s) will go into the permanent collection of the Second Avenue Firehouse Gallery. After the show comes down, I will also make books from the displayed pages in hopes that the MoMA, NY will want them!

Artists can include any information about themselves on the pages, front or back. The exhibition organizers only ask that you submit good work, worthy of an interesting and exciting page in this global book.

The two pages are then to be mailed to the gallery in Bay Shore, NY for exhibition.
DEADLINE FOR PHYSICAL PAGES TO BE IN THE GALLERY: JULY 15, 2011.
All submissions will also be posted on this blog. Please email those in 180 ppi jpg file format.

YOU project

APPEAL for “YOU project”
“YOUプロジェクト”とは?

APPEAL for “YOU project”

Living up to the Earthquake Japan!
「あなたへ あなたと」(anatae anatato) “for YOU with YOU” mail-art project.
“YOU project” implores you to give us your heart and power with your own words and creativities.

The enormous earthquake hit Japan on March 11, 2011. We could nothing but being shocked, being lamented, and praying. We would like to do something, no, we MUST do something. However, I’m afraid that we may be able to do only a small thing. The only thing we have come up with is “YOU project.”

“YOU” literally means “friends,” “being,” “bonds,” “mail,” and “you,” in Japanese. You, who are suffering from the earthquake; you, who lost your loved ones, ……; you, who are sunk in grief. We will collect messages from every one worldwide for YOU.

“YOU project” is a mail-art project. You may want to send a postcard that 「あなたへ あなたと」(anatae anatato)“for YOU with YOU” on to our office. The postcard can carry your messages together with illustrations and photos.

APPEAL for “YOU project”

We have not yet decided how to put those cards on display. To begin with, we update them onto our website in due order. We would like to exhibit, or, when it is allowed, to visit some people watching how things go. We will report what we are doing on our webpage at all times.

We hope that many people will take part in this project.

We hope that we can make a circle of thoughts from everyone worldwide.

Dear artist,

it's Rizoo, remember? The Mail Art Project Portogruaro 2010 which you participated last year?

Well, now we are planning for a new event in May dedicated to water and one of the participating artists, Marco Ceccotto (http://vimeo.com/marcocecotto)
is collecting audio files relating to water to make his sound-installation.

Would you help us with your contribution? If so, here's how:

- Record an original audio file (no copies or extracts from existing files or from files covered by copyright);
- The file must be in .Wav format (not. Mp3 or other, only .Wav format)
- The length of the file is up to you (Ceccotto will be free to change the duration and/or create loops)
- The subject of the audio file must be the water and it's use
- The context must be domestic or daily use of the water, i.e. the audio has to deal with the daily contact with the water, what we can do every day (eg. bathing, eating, cleaning, watering, etc.).
- Send it via e-mail and write clearly: sender name+surname+nickname/alias, type of action taken, number of people (or machine) involved in the action (if more than one), specific place of action, place of origin of sender
- deadline: 31st MARCH

BAUM


Today we invite you to become an envoy for peace.

Peace, is not only concern for this world, but also means peace in everyday life.Peace in its meaning is nearly identical with “life”.
Peace -the word is spoken million-fold every day, is whispered full of hope, and is deeply longed for in prayers.
Every chance should be used to point out the imminent threats of war and encourage peaceful coexistence.

For the initiative “Friends of the Trees”in Minden the 25th anniversary of the catastrophe of Chernobyl is the motive to address an appeal to creative people of all ages and nationalities and to motivate people to participate in a happening under the motto:
Peace in my town - A tree for peace. The tree as a messenger for peace.

Each work of art should be a postcard, any kind of format is welcome.
All postcards which reach us will be part of an exhibition on the 26th April in Minden at the Johanniskirchhof.Pino Fusaro, the founder of the aid organizations “Childrens’ Smile”and “peaceworkers.de" and Peter Küstermann, mailartist, author, and chairman of the cultural association “Wolkenstein e.V.” will open this exhibition at 15:00 hrs.
You are very welcome to take part in this event.
Together with children and guests the messages of peace will be draped in and around a tree.
