Flowers for Jos Janssen (1956-2009)

http://flowersforjos.blogspot.com/

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.

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.

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

Hi!
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!

Overview Mail-Artists - Lutz Wohlrab - Germany

Two years ago my son Konrad had the idea to set up a Mail Artists' Index on the blogging platform Wordpress. Some problems cumulated beforehand when we were using Wikipedia to publish biographies. Entries as well as images had been deleted.

Using http://mailartists.wordpress.com/ gives us a lot more opportunities and space. We are able to present short biographies and three representative images for each artist featured in our list. We link to address lists, new projects and to the artists'

websites. We furthermore present some bibliographical material and a news site. Up to now 104 entries were produced, on average one per week.

Statistics show 36 000 clicks - with increasing interest. Birger Jesch has been supporting us from day one.

For the future we wish for some correspondents from abroad who will compile biographies of the most interesting Mail Artists of their respective countries.

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.

Vrite me your suggestion about Luigi Baccino




Letter of Mimmo Lovanio to Bruno Chiarlone (4 May 2009) 


I read in less than two days, your book. 

The initial interest for the history of Luigi fellow Baccini, has increased from the early pages of a personal curiosity, highly nostalgic. 

As you may know I was born and raised in Cairo and I have lived places where you set part of the story. I was born in the house of Loppa soprana (Fontanina) and, after a few months, my parents have fallen in the house of Loppa sottana, then settled for a share, from John (Giuan) Carlini, a character a little 'misanthropy, from altar, who lived alone and was never married. 

My childhood, free, with all its discoveries and adventures in rio Recoaro, in the woods and meadows surrounding the valley, is spent there, in the micro world that goes from the hill of Our Lady of the Wood, with its church, a Camponuovo, by serving as the Brichella and, further up from the house of GRENNI to Ravagni towards Dego from Montegoso to slopes, woods Montenotte. 

In the house built for asylum by Luigi Baccino, the current Palace of the city, I attended the elementary school and averages. I will always remember the first day of school. I was six years old and I was accompanied by my mother to teach me the way. The day after I went there alone (with their friends then Bruno e Renato), because my parents had a store of "edible", as it was called in those days, and a tavern, and my brother who was only two years. 

In that school I learned Italian as a language, because until then, I had spoken only the dialect of Cairo. Maybe some teacher has spoken of the benefactor L. Baccino, but did not find trace in my memory, perhaps for the distance and the years passed. 
Sometimes I am again in a classroom, sitting at the fixed seats, the inclined plane and the hole for the ink on the central staircase or in the paths of the courtyard, with trees, where we played at marbles. More rarely, I think the storage of bicycles, which was on the back, towards the square Abba, in which, the third media Testoni, fumavamo hidden, the first menthol, which bought loose. 

High schools began in the former barracks, now demolished, via Colla. I found that a fallback, in a temporary structure, as was the current school year. In fact, he was transferred two years later, in the palace of OPES. Even the old building of te University, in Via Balbi, with the lions of the steps, he was able to reproduce those emotions in children. 

Shared in those years, the readings of Steinbeck, Hemingway, Pirandello, Pavese, that you wanted to arbitrarily put in the history of L. Baccini, with a transposition from future to past. Or maybe you wanted to add suicide to the hypothesis of a story already charged with mystery? And a final death designed by the same L. Baccino? 
Even as an adult, rarely, I had the opportunity and the push to deepen the knowledge of the characters who lived and who wanted to enter, with their works in the history of Cairo and its inhabitants nell'anima more careful. 

That is  success through the magazine Liguria Val Bormida or some story of my mother, relatives and friends, and now, through your book, engaging even for those not Cairesi, I am sure. 
Allowed me to awaken, that curiosity, steeped in nostalgia, trying to go deeper in the substrate and far, some ramifications sopite or unconscious of my roots.

Any technique may be used – collage, photography, drawing, painting, artist's stamps, sculpture, assemblage, etc. Size:free

Documentation will be provided online and all art received will be posted at: http://dangerousart.blogspot.com/
