The Katerina Nikoltsou Series: Number 1
Posted by Dean aka Artist in Seine on July 22, 2014 at 5:00pm 2 Comments 1 Favorite
As I know that many of you are excited to finally see number 1, well here it is:
Now number one doesn't mean that it is number one. It simply means that it is the one after "before one" which arrived yesterday. Hold your hand up if you are still following.…

The Day of German Unity is not until the 3rd of October, but Erni seems to have started to celebrate already with apricot biscuits. Personally I like to cut apricots in half and put them together again. I know this might sound strange, but it's just one of those little joys in life. Try it yourself next time you eat an…

I understand that a full Katerina Nikoltsou Series is heading my way. I just received the first one which is actually numbered; "Before number 1"

ERNI BÄR FAN CLUB DAY CASTS A LONG SHADOW FROM THE CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS

Is this the EBFC Day aftermath? Not exactly. The package that cost the sender 35,25 $ US went to Main Customs Office of Saarbrücken, close to the French border. How long did the inspection take those guys nobody knows but at least a couple of days. Having been posted on July 1st it should have made it in time to Hamburg - well, the vicissitudes of life! Who doesn't know about them?…

Amy Irwen sent me this CD with a duality all its own. On one side dire straits: time bombs and menacing shadowy figures, on the other the Fear No Art mandala, emerging from the center of a Frank Zappa vortex, all hand-made, which means many hours dipping into the gigantic vat of Mod Podge Amy keeps by…

Mail-art by IUOMA member Not Hi Ng (San Pablo, California, USA)
July 19, 2014 - In my ongoing archival efforts, I came across a box of mail-art received in early 2013 that was never blogged or documented. Some real treasures…

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........
