it's done: the mail art exhibition FAKE OR ORIGINAL takes place
at the bookstore "the times of XMU" at the Xiamen University.
the opening was on 2011 january 6th and will continue till
february 3rd (chinese new year).
maybe it's the first one in China.
the exhibition was organized by Ma Wen, a teacher for new media
at the art department of the Xiamen University.
he is on one of the 2 pictures.
the photos are not the best and only show a part of the
exhibition. they were taken by ma wen's assistent.
however it's a documentary of it.

so once more, thanks for your participation.

p.s.: happy (chinese) new year

It seems that finally mail art from Greece has arrived in China..."in the future" ;-) YAY! This is mail art 52/365 for January 21, and it has made it to China before the "expiration date"! Actually it was an "in advance" creation sent out on December 23, before the holidays. I am happy it has reached Chiina...24 days air mail, and lots of extra postage, but it has arrived! amazing.

Seems some postage went on during the travel, when I see how the envelope arrived....

two! two pieces of mailart appeared in my postbox today!

 

the first from Ruud - a splendid handpainted envelope...

...brimming with mail-art ephemera

next, a paranormal piece from Eduardo Cardoso in Portugal. enamoured of his name-stamp and the scrap poem, 'ta cket of kness bisecti wrapped rded man alley and dney. The he could old of the a graffiti an's eyes wa again, thi bled over, but found n. asked'....

everything arrived in remarkably good condition for having travelled such a distance. the top of Rudd's envelope was slightly mushed, but i think i complements the texture of paint he applied there. postal serendipity!

 

thank you, Rudd and Eduardo - i award you a certificate to be seen in the mind, for being the first mailartists to officially reach me in China.

Found this o Torma's Blog. Since you can't read blogs in China, I posted it here. So plenty of things on its way already....!

Steven got a clear one!!

i am so happy to meet you guys too. you are so cool, especially your hairstyle and your hunsband's unique fashion style, he looks super cool in the old Chinese army wintercoat.

Hope more people in China can enjoy the mailart!

i was delighted today to finally meet up with Amo (of Mail Attack) and her friend Steven. after much trading of thoughts about our current projects and the future of mail art in Shanghai, we've decided to merge some of our ideas and expand Mail Attack to include themed calls in the future. more about this later: i need to write some copy for the first theme when the free moment finds me. i also received the wonderful treat of browsing through Amo's sketchbook of fascinating and immensely skilled illustrations! whomever receives her postcards will have a lovely treasure. Amo, it was great to meet you and Steven, and i can't wait to see how Mail Attack grows and progresses!
