Orange Is A Difficult Color

For our third annual mail art show we have two themes:

Orange Is A Difficult Color

A restaurant owner once told me that orange is the color of hunger, which is why fast food establishments have orange chairs. I told an art school professor about this. She was silent for a moment, then replied "Orange is a difficult color."

Send your mail art on the theme "Orange is a difficult color" to:

The Transformative Vision

The laughing Cow - Project

About the project

La vache qui rit, The Laughing Cow, Die lachende Kuh, البقرة الضاحكة, Veselá kráva, Krówka Śmieszka, La vaca que ríe, A vaca que ri,Văcuța veselă, Весела Корівка, Весёлая Бурёнка, Den Skrattande Kon, Den leende ko, Η Αγελάδα που Γελά, Gülen İnek, 乐芝牛, 笑牛牌, Ilay omby vavy mifaly, ラフィングカウ, La Mucca che ride, Con Bò Cười, Sapi Ceria... Do you know her?

I like sending and getting postcards made of these little boxes of spreadable wedges of cheese. I have received only one so far. I know it is not the best cheese in the world (but it is still good). It is just... well, I confess I am in love of this cheerful bright red cow. So I would be utterly happy if you could send one of these to me, as a postcard (better) or in an envelope. I would like collect one or more than one from every country. Difficult? I hope not!

And the reward? Ok, you'd have eaten a great cheese sandwich. Isn't it enough? And you could be proud to have been so kind. And I will be grateful forever. And besides this I will send you some snail mail in return, from Morocco or from Spain. A letter, a postcard or a mail art work (as you wish). 

Please, consider have a cheese sandwich for tea today! Contact me if you want to help me in this project.

The Middle Finger Project - USA

As many of you may know, artist and political activist Ai Weiwei enjoys flipping off the authorities from time to time. True to his vision, I'm establishing this group and mail art call in the spirit of Weiwei's middle finger.
Please send a photo or drawing of yourself flipping off a location or landmark that you find appropriate. You can include (or not include) your face.
All work received will be documented on the  Google blogspot below.
Please send your middle finger mail art to:
The Middle Finger Project
PO Box 360
Tamworth, NH 03886 USA

2D ARTWORK NO LARGER THAN 8.5 X 11 INCHES. Video work is also acceptable; simply post your videos to YouTube and they will be embedded on the blog.
NO DEADLINE, ONGOING PROJECT.
Because this project is lo-fi in nature, please feel free to send your photos or drawings printed on plain printer paper. It will be good enough for me to scan and post to the blogspot.
If you'd prefer to print on photo paper, please feel free to do so. If you prefer sending a jpg, you can send it to: liketelevisionsnow (at) gmail.com, but because this is a mailart project, please send a print in the mail if you can.
Any weiwei is fine!
