Repertoire

X. International SpanishFlu Mail Art Biennale

The SpanishFlu Webjournal of Art, which will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024,
the Hungarian Mail Art Society,
the Herman Ottó Museum and its member institution the Miskolc Gallery
Are proud to organize the X. SpanishFlu International Mail Art Biennale titled Repertoire.
 
Co-organizers include:
  • The Cheerful Peacock – Tompa Mihály Cultural Garden and the House of Creators,
    The Art Treasury of Ferenc Pávai Vajna,
    the Hungarian Electrographic Art Association.
The event is an open exhibition, all participants are welcome.
The artworks are to be featured in a curated exhibition celebrating the bicentennial of theatre in Miskolc, in manner that is appropriate to the tone and concept envisioned for the event by the organizers, which will be held in the Veres Attila Hall of the Thalia House of the Herman Ottó Museum – Miskolc Galleryon World Theatre Day, 27 March, 2024.
 
A repertoire is the culmination of works an artist or community (e.g.: a band or theatre troupe) had learnt, rehearsed and is able to perform at any time. It is a set of programmes, a schedule and a series of stunts as well as the totality of works that are to be presented. In a broader sense, it can refer to the skills and knowledge accumulated by the individual.
 
In the spirit of World Theatre Day, participants are expected to submit one or several artworks primarily related to their own theatre experiences by using their own repertoire of experiences through the language of mail art and submit it by post. Alternatively, participants can also submit writings or films about the topic via e-mail.
 
Only artworks sent by mail that were specifically made for this occasion can be entered to the exhibition. We consider any bare two or three dimensional items or works of art wrapped in envelopes or any other kind of packaging that were sent via mail as mail art. We will display any piece that relates to the theme of the exhibition regardless of its shape, material and techniques used. Participants are encouraged to incorporate as many postal accessories and services (special stamps, priority and registered labels) as possible as organic decorative additions to their mail art submissions. A curated exhibition based on the submissions will be held in the Thalia House of the Herman Ottó Museum – Miskolc Gallery until-August 2024.
 
The exhibition opening will be documented via photographs and published by SpanishFlu (www.spanyolnatha.hu). The submitted pieces will become a part of the Marcelland International Art Collection. The SpanishFlu Mail Art Awards of Excellence will be awarded at the Biennale: the grand prize winner can host their own exhibition at the Thalia House in Miskolc during the following year while other awardees may do so in the webjournal.
 
Submission deadline: 29 February, 2024.

Sources of strength - Mail Art Project Germany

 


Sources of strength - we live in a rather broken world, characterized by environmental destruction and pollution, climatic catastrophes and war conflicts, not to mention the personal and work-related problems that many people have to deal with. We are asking: Where do you get the strength to go through life upright despite all this? What brings you joy, what creates hope and confidence, what puts a smile on your face, what brightens your heart? Whether it is friends or family, art or music, religion or philosophy, sports or meditation, whether it is the smile of your neighbor or the chirping of birds in the morning - whatever makes you strong and powerful, let us know!

We want to focus on the positive and empowering aspects of life as we need them to survive in this world. We are curious and looking forward to receive your answer!
