Kids and Mail Art
Hi, some of you know me from my blog Visual Influence and The Emergence Project. I do a lot of Mail Art, and I have a six-year old son who has recently become very interested in it. He has done a whole ton of Mail Art and we need other kids to exchange it with. So if anybody has children who would be interested, please send him something! Or even if you are an adult that would like some of his artwork, feel free to send something. Personally, I love children's artwork because it is so fresh and original, kids have none of the preconceived notions about art that some adults have:) Any questions, e-mail me at sarah@theemergenceproject.com

fluxkit project HELP!!!!
the contemporary museum in St. Louis is sponsoring a studio tour on
sunday, July 19th which will include a tour of FLUXUS/ARTFARM - my
studio/farm by the river. They're telling me to expect about 200
visitors, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to put together
a small "FLUXKIT" - envelope - sized, that people can have to keep.
I'm looking for Images, Scores,fluxus bucks,artiststamps, poems,
etc... that I can print out on a 1/4 sheet of paper. sorry for the
short notice, the Idea just hit me.
*****If you're intersted, just send me an image, today if possible****
( sorry again about the rush ) and I'll print them up. make sure that
the work contains your name, signature or stamp so that we know who
it's from,
and I'll print up enough to send one to everyone who contributes, along
with a list of participating artists. If this works out well, maybe I
can start doing this every few months - It could be a fun project, and
a way for us all to connect a little more.
send your submission to : keith9963@...

Particulates Matter
Particulate Matter (PM) in the air can cause or worsen lung disease and heart disease, especially in the elderly and very young. In the USA, tens of thousands of people die prematurely due to PM every year, and countless more suffer. PM is a much more serious problem in developing nations with fewer pollution controls. Please help increase awareness about PM by participating in the mail art exhibition "Particulates Matter".PM is divided into two categories - PM up to 10 microns in diameter (PM10) and PM up to 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5). As a play on this, artwork for the mail art exhibition should be approximately 10 cm2 or 2.5 cm2, any shape, or approximately 10 cm3 or 2.5 cm3 for 3-D artwork. Artwork will be exhibited along with a scale model of a human hair (80 cm diameter) to emphasize how tiny these particles are.
Art can be on the theme of PM itself (depicting or made with PM), PM sources (diesel exhaust, wood smoke, industry, etc.), the health effects of PM (asthma, heart attack, stroke), or artwork can simply be 'a breath of fresh air' (no theme, but still meeting size requirements). Any technique may be used ? collage, photography, drawing, painting, artist's stamps, sculpture, assemblage, and so on. All art received will be posted at:
http://scottrayrandall.blogspot.com/
An exhibition is to be held in Sacramento, CA on Earth Day 2009. Documentation will be provided online. Other exhibitions and future publication of material is possible depending upon opportunities and the response to this call. No jury, no fee, no returns. Please send art with your name, address, and email to:

Mail Art Call - Queer EQuality
Mail Art Call - Queer EQuality
So, here’s the story. Besides planning to get married with my beautiful male lover of almost three years, I recently signed up with zazzle a company that puts your design on things like mugs and US postal stamps, t-shirts etc. I designed a stamp commemorating the California Supreme Court decision to allow gay people to get married.
The stamp was rejected by the US Postal system for their policy which
reads:
Policy Violations:
Incorporates material that is primarily partisan or political in nature.
Incorporates material the primary purpose of which is to advocate or protest any particular religious, social, political, legal or moral agenda of any person or entity.
That’s quite a lot of censorship. Who decides? I just sent another design in and they accepted it. So now we have a queer/gay postage stamp in America. I am selling the stamp and giving half the proceeds to a non-profit called Equality California. You do not have to buy a stamp to participate in the Queer eQuality mailART call, but if you'd like to help support the arts and equality, then buy all means :-)

The LAST BOOK
Hi all: So far it seems that the opening of The Last Book will take place on November 18th in the National Library of Spain in Madrid. I have 530 collaborations and it would be nice if there were even more. I extended the deadline until October 15th, so, if you have friends of interest for this, please share the call for collaborations with them. I'll keep you informed of any developments. Thank you and all the best, Luis

The Last Book- Open call for collaborations A Project by Luis Camnitzer, sponsored by the National Library of Spain
The Last Book is a project to compile written as well as visual statements in which the authors may leave a legacy for future generations. The premise of the project is that book-based culture is coming to an end. On one hand, new technologies have introduced cultural mutations by transferring information to television and the Internet. On the other, there has been an increasing deterioration in the educational systems (as much in the First World as on the periphery) and a proliferation of religious and anti-intellectual fundamentalisms. The Last Book will serve as a time-capsule and leave a document and testament of our time, as well as a stimulus for a possible reactivation of culture in case of disappearance by negligence, catastrophe or conflagration.
Contributions to this project will be limited to one page and may be e-mailed to
lastbook.madrid@gmail.com
or mailed to:
Luis Camnitzer
124 Susquehanna Ave.
Great Neck, NY, 11021
USA
The book will be exhibited as an installation at the entrance of the Museum of the National Library of Spain in Madrid. Pages will be added during the duration of the project, with the intention of an eventual publication of an abridged version selected by Luis Camnitzer, curator of the project.
This call is open and we hope that it will be resent to as many potential contributors as possible.

THUMB!
Thumb! Update: Exhibition Announcement!
Thank you for all of the great contributions so far to the Thumb mail art project. There is about a month left to the June 30th deadline.
There will be a three-day exhibit July 25, 26, & 27 at the Odd-Fellows Hall in Kernville, California, USA. Kernville has a rich history as
a historic mining town during the California Goldrush and was also frequently used as the site for old silent western movies-- think Roy
Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry, and others. This will be the first time an international mail art show is to be held in Kernville.
At the exhibit there will be a world map indicating the country and city of the artists. Many countries are not yet represented…hint! hint!
Thumb!
Theme: This call invites your creative visual responses to the theme of the “Thumb,” that thick first digit of the human hand. Whether it’s thumbs up, all thumbs, or pull your thumb outta your, this art will explore the various connotations of the thumb, with irony, with humor, or in all seriousness.
Open Media: collage, photography, painting, drawing, printing, etc.
Format & Size: postcards from 4”x6” (or 10 x 15 cm), up to A5 size about 5 ¾” x 8 1/4” (or 14.8 x 21 cm) maximum.
Documentation: All received works will be exhibited and the artists listed on http://thumbingthrough.wordpress.com/. Please include your name, mailing address, and email address for acknowledgment and correspondence purposes –we will send a list of participants, and copies of any press coverage of the exhibition.
All works must be sent via normal postal route.
Organized by: artist, Joan Desmond, http://www.joandesmond.com
and writer, Ann http://www.annbeman.com/ and http://thumbingthrough.com
No fee, no returns: The postcards will become part of the collection of Thumbing Through.
Remember: WE LOVE MAIL ART! We love the concept, the images, the sense of community and feedback it inspires. We look forward to your participation in this project. Questions? joan@joandesmond.com
Deadline to be received: June 30, 2008
Mail to: Thumb!, c/o J. Desmond, PO Box 2287, Lake Isabella, CA 93240 U.S.A.
