On August 16th 1988 the idea of the IUOMA was born. In November 2008 this IUOMA platform at NING became the home for members.

I like the tissue paper envelope. Im surprised it did survive the mailing system as it does have a delicate fragile feel to it, but it must be stronger than it feels. nice colours too.
inside, I recieved my card return from a duo I sent out to her, I like how it turned out once she completed my art on it.
Also included was a trio jam started by…

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.

Mail art by Atte Ourie (Helsinki, Finland)
"Like the use of multiple pens/pencils in these. I'm a fan of 'scribble' art which I dabble in from time to time. Good to see these versions from Atte...and thanks for the background info about this mail artist."
"Did a bit of re-organizing and clean up after I did my Katie Porter portrait, using my Derwent Inktense pencils and my favorite 9B water soluble graphite from Sennelier (years ago visit in Paris.)"
"Had a quiet morning - well they all are sort of, these days, aren't they? Spent the time in my studio altering old postcards found when re-organizing my work table yesterday. "
"I'm amazed that arrived already! I mailed it last Monday (21 Sept) right before half the city flooded from Tropical storm Beta. Seems like it arrived before some others I mailed the same day to other states here."
