Priceless, Yves! Perhaps we could consider handbag trash as a subcategory of junk drawer trash...a more gendered and portable variety, that is."
On August 16th 1988 the idea of the IUOMA was born. In November 2008 this IUOMA platform at NING became the home for members.

CALL FOR ROCKET PROJECT

hi mail artists…this is a call to send letters or mail art on the theme of what you would say to whomever might find your letter/art work after is has been shot into space by a rocket….although your letter/artwork won't go into deep space it will be a working rocket, be launched and fly pretty high into the atmosphere before coming back down to earth..your artwork/letter will be part of a collaborative project between Masters Fine Art students, myself and other fellow students at RMIT…

July 23, 2014 - I am deeply honored that Mail-Art Martha (Beckenham Kent, UK) chose me to receive this historic Add & Pass (a copy) being circulated by Ruud Janssen (Breda, Netherlands). As you can see, this document originated with David Zack (one of the founders of Neoism) in 1983 and was sent to legendary 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........
