Thanks, Ruud. I have the basic premise written out with where I would like to see it go; could I forward it to you to have a look at it before I go ahead and post it, just in case there is something I may have overlooked?

If you start a mail-art project. Think it out well, and document the things you want. You can then:

1. Publish it as an event

2. Send it to me and I will publish it on http://mailartprojects.blogspot,com (and it becomes visible on that blog but also on many RSS-feeds that reaches thousands of people).

3. Starting your group for the project is an option when you need a discussion during the project or want to document things there.

So, many options, just get the word out in several ways. Also remember that IUOMA is just a small fraction of the bigger Mail-Art network. Reach out to other platforms as well.

Hi! I have a mail project I would like to start. My question is do I post it in the Events section or do I form a Group? What is the best way to get it out there? Thanks!

Stempel / rubber stamps of HRF ca. 1975-1995 Im Kunstmuseum Thurgau. Warth TG

 

the specific stamp is now on display in a museum....!

The text is also documented in some of the books H.R. Fricker published in the 80-90-ies. Have them in the TAM-Archive.

Comment by Ruud Janssen on November 9, 2011 at 6:17am

"I METANETWORKER IN SPIRIT" is the text of a rubberstamp created by H.R. Fricker. It had nothing to do with Internet that time. The nerwork is the connection of mail-artists worldwide. The META word is to indicate that everybody is connected to eachother. Also to the personsn the actually do not write or communicate to since the communication is tranferred through the network.

So it is actually a statement from one of the wellknows mail-artists (just google him, he has just a wonderful exhibition in Switserland to cellebrate his work.
