<p>THE MAIL ART COMMUNITY IN EUROPE: a first hand view <br/> Editor's note: Ginny Lloyd last July began a trek through the United States and Europe. First in Cleveland, she produced artwork and lectured on copy art, under the auspices of the Image Resource Center. Then in New York City, she met other mail artists and collaborated with them on some film and audio works, but the goal was Europe, which she visited for the next four months. The following is her report for Umbrella. <br/> SAMPLE below<br/> The collection at Stempelplaats was unbelievable to see: rubber stamps from all over the world, some carved by artists whose names I recognized, the artists' rubber stamp books and the published catalogues of the exhibitions held in the gallery made the October closing of this space a great loss. At the Other Books & So Archive, I was able to pour over files and files of catalogued documentation of artists' activities, artists' books, mail art, sound tapes and magazines. After days of visual overload, I realized it would be impossible for me to see everything. I did more research on my return to Amsterdam, but did not completely go through every file that interested me.</p> 1983 shows and events for a y…tag:iuoma-network.ning.com,2017-01-12:2496677:Comment:20752322017-01-12T18:21:30.418Zginny lloydhttp://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/ginnylloyd

<p>Mail art is so highly individualized that learning the experience of different people from different eras gives an overall picture. For instance, the Blaster Al interview was a true revelation to me and gave a picture of the era of Neoism and zines.</p>
<p>I definitely suggest the interviews.</p>
