"Jennifer, Carmen, Mary Ann. I found that Roberto Scala is also a member of IUOMA so I challenged him. I am getting ready for the storm!"
On August 16th 1988 the idea of the IUOMA was born. In November 2008 this IUOMA platform at NING became the home for members.

Hannah Höch's Birthday!!!
Posted by Chorianopoulou Maria on October 23, 2019 at 10:38am 0 Comments 3 Favorites
On Nov. 1st (1889) would be Hannah Höch’s 130th Birthday!!!
She has been a collage / photomontage pioneer. She was part of the Dada movement and also became involved in the De Stijl art movement.
By the end of November, I will post a photo of my Hannah Hoch Birthday Box. I will create this box to contain all the mailart I'll receive from fellow participants in the project … [Initiated by Mary Anne, famous mailartist from the UK].

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.

"That is a shame that a fellow mail artist would try to profit on the work of another mail artist. Bad karma, for sure. "
"I see that Noriko - not Nioriko - accompanied Ryosuke on his jaunt to Greece. I wonder if it can be spelled both ways?"
"Just checking - Heleen thought it was Noriko not Nioriko Shimizu?"
"Hi Heleen. I hadn't recognised Ryosuke's address - shame on me - but Visual Mom gave the name I have on the list Nioriko. I will double check."
