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........

Erni Bär commented on Dean aka Artist in Seine's blog post Dharmadada Erni Bär: Berlin Wall"You're right. What's the difference? I just learn from listening to Frank Zappa that sometimes Jehova prefers to speak German."
"Well what a story. All that just to get a piece of the Berlin Wall mail box. But I can tell you, it was well worth it."
Mail Art Martha left a comment for Michael Orr"I did this all by computer for a mail artist in France, the theme was Angels Vomit Demons and I thought that angels are demons and demons are angels. I think we are all split, more or less, and that friendship and art makes us whole again."
Mail Art Martha left a comment for Michael Orr"Michael, you have friends who will be very sad if you were to hurt yourself, remember that and that we all value you, you are a good friend and a superb artist. Hang on there, kid!
