Artist in Seine.Paris

A wayward piece of art arrived after a long journey. In Seine mailed this piece July 23, 2014 to the USA. Coincidentally another piece coming to the USA got attached somehow and both pieces ended up on the far East Coast....after being rerouted, I now have in my possession "1000 Ribbons and Champagne" which arrived October 27, 2014. The original mailing was shipped "bare", so am amazed that it got to the USA. The rerouted package was carefully wrapped so no further mishaps could delay it…

While we have here rain, snow and cold weather, I needed a bit of sunshine and that is what landed in my mailbox! Thank you Petrolpetal for your beautiful card. I love it. Nice detail was that the stamp was a little loose when it arrived and at my touch fell of. I think totally exhausted from the long journey ;-)…

i've had a terrible cold that's kept me close to the couch/bed since thursday afternoon, but i've been taking the opportunity to do a lot of collage work and make postcard bases while comfortably nestled in, resting... bins of papers and supplies within arm's reach (guess it isn't so bad) :) (also blogged here)…

Thank you, Kathryn!
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........
