Flowers for Jos Janssen (1956-2009)
Beginning of 2009 I heard of the illness of my brother Jos Janssen. He was diagnosed cancer and had little chance to survive this cruel illness. I started the project "Send flowers to my brother" in which I asked the Mail-Art network to send flowers by mail for the last weeks my brother would have. On March 11th 2009 my brother died. He saw a lot of the mail that came in from the network. To remember these signs of warmth and caring I post all the mail that got in on this blog.

Submissions Accepted: July 4th –July 18th
Closing: September 3rd, 2009
What can be sent in the mail? Who really sees those things en route? Think about the monotonous days that you could brighten for some bored postal employee. Last year we got an oar, $100 in pennies, a life preserver, dinnerware, and a special note from Portland to Seattle on an old frozen pizza box.
Ship your art Between July 4th and July 18th. Everything sent will be displayed. Nothing will be opened. Remember, if it has the right postage, the postal service will deliver.

Mail Art Research Project
The web exhibition in the theme of "What mail art means to me?" is now complete.
You can find it from here: http://mailartmeans.blogspot.com/.
I received lots of mail art and I´m very grateful for that. Altogether I
received 66 artworks from 11 different countries.
My recearch for my bachelors degree is also now finished. The subject for my
research was "How internet has effected to mail art and what meaning mail art
has to the mail artists." Unfortunately it´s in finnish. I was planning to write
a short article in english to the website but it has to wate for now, because
I´m going to travel the next two months. I will inform again when I have
completed the article.
Thank you for everybody who participated by answering to the survey or by
sending me mail art, it was very helpful for my research!

ARTISTAMPS call / STAMPS SHEETS
To see details and some of our works visit the new blog: http://artistampstz.blogspot.com/
At birth, stamps live all together in a sheet and they come away from it when they become adults...
Create one or more than one stamps sheet. Any theme, any medium.
The "Taller de Zenon" will send you some of his own sheets recently done and all the received stamps sheets will be exhibited in our web-gallery (www.eltallerdezenon.com)
Size: A4 or A5. Any medium. Deadline: December 31st. 2009. Any theme (See some suggestions)
Send to:
Miguel Jimenez - El Taller de Zenón
C/ Santa Maria de Guia 1 -
Suggestions:
Eroticism always had been one of the motors of human being ¿Is it still a motor at the present time? ¿Was it affected by the actual global crisis? Consider the option to work about eroticism as a theme in all the possible ways, the requiered size is suitable to develop it, and it will be interesting to prove how the actual crisis is affecting eroticism in connection with Postal Art.
