mail art from Susan McAllister

Posted by Diane Keys on May 24, 2013 at 7:37pm 4 Comments

This arrived as a testament to the downfalls of online communication. Without the tone, inflection, and facial expressions to help us interpret things, it can be very easy for miscommunication to happen. It also gives us a chance to clarify and become closer when we clear it up. So I received this wonderful mail art with Susan's classic/signature style--both psychedelic and straightforward at the same time. yippee!!DKultCA has formed in Berkeley--Thank you!…

...I have been away again, this time for 10 days in Maastricht, the Netherlands, where I had a mini-exhibition of my Aboriginal-type art. (Photos of that follow later). When I got back home last night the mail box was stuffed full of goodies, and I just haven't got the time right now to send everyone an individual thank you, so here is a collective one.

I hope to be able to send all the people below some Mail Art back soon, but I will have to pawn the children so that I can get some…

Everything started last autumn.

I started to join ARTS-IN team for my activities and MERAL, the motivator, told that there was this project of art in MİLANO. It was my first ''THING''... The good thing was that every single art work sent there, was going to be displayed at an art gallery in MİLANO. The place was of ASSOCIAZIONE CIRCUITI DINAMICI... If you google them, you'll see that this is a very active art and design projects association. I love them. They are honest and serius about…

Another Day in ARTS-IN ISTANBUL

Posted by İlknur Akman on May 23, 2013 at 8:38pm 1 Comment

Well...It's been a while that we, four of us, didn't come together at the gallery. We all had our reasons... First of all Türkan's brother, who lives in Izmir, had an operation and Türkan was naturally busy to take care of the patient and the rest of the family. Hilal, who has a very talented son, is always busy, she runs here and there to keep everything in order. She was at the gallery on Tuesday BUT I was not there... I had a ''GIRLS BREKFAST'' at my best friends house, with 5 other…
