Greek Fe Mail art from Katerina: Matisse and Unicorns
Posted by Carmen Kennedy on January 26, 2020 at 2:14pm 2 Comments 0 Favorites
Katerina sends Happy 2020 wishes with her wonderful collages which remind me of Matisse's cut outs.
How cool is it that Greece issues a holiday stamp with a Unicorn?
Thank you,…

The last three months of 2019 were absolutely nuts for me, so my mail art output slowed to an absolute snail's crawl. I was but a tiny whisk tasked with an industrial sized mixing bowl!
The good news is that's all past me now and I am BACK BABY!
If you've sent me mail art at any point and still haven't gotten anything back, rest assured you're in my inbox and I am dreaming up all kinds of fun things for 2020. Also, I bought a light box and I have made the…

info IUOMA
Somehow people always think that if a group of artists work together that then there must automatically be some kind of organisation that coordinates it all. Well, in mail art there are many groups working together. These groups themselves also work together, but there is NO organisation that arranges all the things that go on in the mail art network. The I.U.O.M.A. is the Union that mail artists can become a member of. The Union has no rules. Everybody who is active in mail art and hears about the Union can become a member just by saying so.
In 1988 the idea of the IUOMA was born. I invented this name and made forms for people to become a member of this (fictive) union. About 300 mail artists reacted in a year, and official membership cards were made, even a official Union Magazine was published. Anybody who was a member of the Union could also claim a special function within the Union.
Even today, people still join the Union. And somehow it gives power, to say that YOU are a member of the International Union too. The Main address of the Union is at the TAM-address, P.O.Box 1055, 4801 BB - Breda - Netherlands. It is just the center for archiving all the things that are going on. But I am not in control of the Union. I just invented it. And to make it official, I made myself General-President of this Union. Sure was impressive when I travelled to the USSR in 1991 and went to visit some friends there who were also members of this Union........
Today online on Ning there are thousands of members. On December 2nd 2018 the 5000th member joined in.
