Greetings from Portugal,

COMA mail art collective, would like to invite you to be part of the second Mail Art Call
organize by us, here is the information for this new event:

THEME: THE BULL, MAN AND THE MYTH


" From pre historic age, man has demonstrated profound admiration for the animal kingdom,
and It has been represented in Rock Art. This interest is directly in relation to hunting,
an activity from which man obtained part of its sustenance.
The bull being an animal of great being and bravery, belonging to the astrological wheel of
the zodiac, is a good example of this veneration and respect, being rooted in the Lusitania
culture( Portugal and Spain) through the “Festa Brava”, with many admirers and opposes.
Independently of the role that the animal may have in man’s life, in many archaic and
present civilizations, it is considered to be a divine manifestation, also associated with
the mythological concepts.
The myth of the Minotaur is maybe the most well-known which represents a man consumed by
his own desires. In essence this corresponds to our interior conflict between our human
and animal instincts.
This Mail art Call has as its main objective to explore the triplicate between the bull,
man and the myth."

DEADLINE: June 4, 2013

All works must be sent by normal post (snail mail) with postage STAMPS to:
