IUOMA Rubber Stamp - You want one?
Hello Ruud,
You've inspired me once again...I'd like to do another run of the IOUMA rubber stamps which you already have in your collection. The same one pictured in your book, which says "Apply to become a member Become a member by applying" just like it is with the logo and the scalloped border, etc. I'm willing and interested in distributing it thru the mail directly to those interested, at least for a limited time, at my cost. it would be $3.00 (U.S.) for unmounted rubber or $8.00 (U.S.) for mounted, which includes first class U.S. postage anywhere in the world. Do you think there would be an interest/demand for this? Would you list it on your IOUMA and other web sites? Do you think that it's a good idea, or one whose time has passed? Of course I understand that you can only guess at these answers.
-Sticker Dude

Mail-Art project Russia
Open for per lustration
mail and public-art project
Curators: Andrey Suzdalev, Mikhail Pogarsky
Declaration:
(Through Black Cabinet)
Artists open for world always, and they make the art even from their private correspondence. That is why the attempt of decree about per lustration in Russia don’t compel to be more careful in our private correspondence. Art gain a victory over policy in this little single combat. The project slogan: "Open for per lustration" haven’t political aims. We are only informing about our civil position: "However hard you may try, you can't to infringement our rights!" And we remind about this in emphasize playing form, by means of mail-art.
History reference: In Russia the secret department (black cabinet) organized under Empress Elizaveta. This department opened private correspondence. The number of officials in black cabinets wasn't big. In 1829 it was 33 persons; in 1913 it was 45 persons. Of course under communist regime these activities mount to All-Russian scale. But always this department and all its decrees were secret, because these decrees broke All-world Post Convention, which was passed by Universal Post Union (Russia is the member of this union).
When we send our art-post works and run its through deferent black cabinets, we declare: "Open for perturbation! Now you know what we hid so carefully!" It is truth. Now, for example, you can know that some from us are birds, others say "Hello" to rain and wind, that our ideas fly in another space and we very like our good old post office.
In this concept we also have an interest to sources of art-collage, when German DaDa-artists John Heartfield and George Grosz sent collage post card to friends at the battle-front. If these post card world wrote, any censor confiscated its.
Work process
Project has 3 stages
1. Usual mail-art. Artists send post card, without any limited by themes and techniques.
2. Addressee, who receive post card, put it in envelopment, sticks the special sticker and sends to the address of museum. Addressee can supplement envelopment with new art details, if he wants.
3. After that catalogue will be published from the best post card, and post card from this catalogue put in some art places (museums, galleries, libraries ets.) and any people can send this card with these supplements.
Address for post card:

TWO Projects
Hello. I've got two mail-art calls going on right now, and I'd like to invite you to participate. Thanks - David Aronson
http://www.alchemicalwedding.com
Honoring the Shadow
The Shadow is a psychological term introduced by the late Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. It is everything in us that is repressed, undeveloped and denied, both dark and light. The shadow represents all that the conscious person does not wish to acknowledge within themselves. Jung emphasized the importance of being aware of shadow material and incorporating it into conscious awareness. Otherwise we project these attributes onto others.
Honor your shadow by giving it visual form.
All mediums are welcome.
Deadline: December 31 2010.
Artworks will be permanently displayed on my website.

Honoring the Shadow
The Shadow is a psychological term introduced by the late Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. It is everything in us that is repressed, undeveloped and denied, both dark and light. The shadow represents all that the conscious person does not wish to acknowledge within themselves. Jung emphasized the importance of being aware of shadow material and incorporating it into conscious awareness. Otherwise we project these attributes onto others.
Honor your shadow by giving it visual form.
All mediums are welcome.
Deadline: December 31 2010.
Artworks will be permanently displayed on my website.

Need help collecting
Hi,
Im currently doing a project on Movie Promotion and I am looking into how Mail Art can be used to affectively promote them. One of the films I am looking at is "Catch Me If You Can". Im concentrating on how the main character is always tearing labels off bottles etc.
It would be amazing if people could start tearing off any labels they find and sending them to me. I also thought it might be quite nice if the envelopes were decorated in some way.
My address is:
121c Liberty Park,
Malborough St,
Leeds,
UK,
LS1 4LA
Any help would be much aprectiated
Mail Art Project of the TUFA in Trier
Hello, and a warm welcome to the Mail Art Project of the TUFA in Trier.
Art by post!
Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the TUFA in Trier with the Mail Art Project!
In 2010 the Arts Centre of the City of Trier, the cloth factory (locally known as the Tuchfabrik, abbreviated to TUFA,) will celebrate its 25th anniversary. Earlier the TUFA was indeed a cloth mill, producing cloth. Now the TUFA is an arts centre, producing cultural assets with theatre, music, art, dance, literature etc. The TUFA has excellent exhibition rooms in which we would like to feature a jubilee display. You can join in!
Artists, painters, graphic artists, photographers, poets and those who would like to be, coming from Trier and its partner towns throughout the world: LET'S HEAR FROM YOU BY POST!
Please send us an artistic postcard on the theme of TUFA the Arts Centre, on the subject of cloth and/or celebrating our birthday. Any format that reaches us by post will be admitted. All original work signed and stamped reaching us by 31th May 2010 (no emails please) will be included in the autumn 2010 exhibition. Your postcards will be uploaded onto the internet and we hope to create an exhibition catalogue there. What will happen to the postcards after the exhibition? We would like to take care of the cards, perhaps to exhibit them in one or several partner towns, or auction them for charitable causes.
Send your postcards to:
Mail-Art-Projekt
TUFA Trier
Wechselstrasse 4-6
54290 Trier
Deutschland/Germany
Don't forget to include your address or email address. You may well hear back from us by post!
The TUFA Arts Committee persons:
Rainer Breuer, Martina Diedrich, Herbert Lauer, Gabriele Lohberg.
By participation in the Mail-Art-Projekt, artists cede ownership rights free of charge to the TUFA within the framework of its catalogue and poster print and internet media.
Our project is still in its infancy and lots more remains to be said by way of introduction, so we have no more info as yet. This will change in the coming weeks, as soon as for example, we can give you the exact date of the exhibition, when we receive the first postcards and answer any questions that you may have etc. We invite you above all to send in plenty of creative input (artistic postcards), which we would like to exhibit as creatively as possible.
Have fun!
From the TUFA Arts Committee.

Postal Project
We would like to set up a project that enables people to ‘generate’ a random address for them to write to. The big idea is to send people letters, and receive letters yourself. You won’t know this person but they may have something interesting to say, they may not.
We think it will be fun, who knows what will happen?
Aim?
We would like to create a website that anyone can join. When you join our website, this will enable you to generate a random address, this will be the address you will write to. When you join you can also create a profile on which you can upload/scan in your received letters.
From this archive of peoples post, we would like to create a publication, which could be in the form of a magazine or a book. If the project grows to be very popular, we would like to publish yearly annuals.
FIRST AND FORMOST!
We thought it would be a grand idea to have an event of address swapping, to start the ball rolling, and to begin our archiving of addresses.
WE NEED YOU TO SEND US YOUR ADRESSES!
START DATE; MARCH 2010
END DATE; DEC 2010
If you’d like to be involved, then send us a postcard with your address on!
Postcards can be of any size and contain any artwork/text/visuals but must have your postal address on them.
Your address will be exhibited at an event in York, England (date TBC). People who attend the event will choose an address from the exhibition-style event, and they will send you a letter!
We will document everything we have received, and the event via our tumblr page;
http://postalproject.tumblr.com
This project has 3 inventors, so 3 adresses for you lot to choose from!
