Guido d'Arezzo (991 - 1050)

Artistically a mail art score
International mail art project by Angela Caporaso

It was Guido d'Arezzo (991 - 1050) who developed the system of musical notation introducing the modern principle of stave. The stave used by Guido included only four lines and was therefore called the tetragram.
The invention of the pentagram instead is attributed to Ugolino da Orvieto. Its name comes from the Greek words, penta, five, and gramma, line. The pentagram is the set of 5 parallel horizontal lines and four spaces between them, on which you write notes and signs of break. This system is in use since 500.
At the beginning of the pentagram usually you put a key, which, providing the position of a determined note, fixes the position of all the others.
More staves can be hold by a single score. The method of the score began to stand out at the middle of the 500 contextually with the development of the orchestral music. So, the score is a graphical representation of a music of different simultaneous vocal and instrumental parts.

To take part in this project
1) Download the picture : score.pdf (site:http://unapartituraartistica.altervista.org)

2) process it with any figurative technique, drawing, collage, painting, etc.
3) Send to : Angela Caporaso - via Roma 117 - 81100 Caserta - Italia

Deadline 30/ 6 /2014

The works will not be returned, they will be included in the website:

Pink and Blue - Germany

pink and blue – A Mail Art Project

The equality body of Paderborn invites to a special project

Mail art is art on a postcard that will be sent on postal delivery: so called good old snail mail. In contrast to e-mails, mail art devotes itself to deceleration.

"Compensation" for this intended reduction is offered by more sensuality because the sent art projects are all originals, that can be lead closely to your eyes or can be touched. Mail art is a democratic art: Participation is open to all, not only inside Paderborn: Women and men, boys and girls. All the sent works of art will be exhibited. There is no jury. This art is international. It is a small form of art that does without stir and nevertheless it achieves a surprising effect. Not least it is a stimulus for another imaginative creation.

Be captivated by our enthusiasm. Join in!

The theme "pink and blue"

"pink and blue" is the title of a mail art project of the equality body of the city of Paderborn.

"pink and blue" – these two colours symbolize the stereotyped expectations which boys and girls are still confronted with. When Franklin D. Roosevelt, who later became the president of the USA, was photographed at the age of two and a half years, he was wearing a white dress, shoulder length hair and distinctive leather shoes – an outfit that could lead us without batting an eyelid to the delighted exclamation: what a delightful girl!

In 1884 at the time of the shooting, this look was normal, it corresponded to the former convention for a boy. Every generation, so Jeanne Maglaty, produces its own definition of masculinity and femininity, which is not least manifested in the clothing and the toys of children. “Boys don’t cry ", The Cure played in one of their most famous songs…

When is a man a man, when a woman a woman? Typically male, typically female? Is there such a thing? What is the situation with the conventions of masculinity and femininity, with the equality of the sexes? Cliches only or prejudices? Can't women park? Do men not listen?

We encourage all women and men, girls and boys to concern themselves creatively and artistically with their own roles, because the realization of equality in society requires a change of role stereotypes. A gendered division of labour in the family and working life for example still characterizes the life of men and women, the man is still seen as the main breadwinner, the woman as the main responsible for children and household and in addition she is gainfully employed.

Take up the creative challenge! Describe us your artistic role. Let your imagination run wild. Pick up the brush, a pair of scissors, camera, cut out, write, glue, paint, print, tear, sew. Use pink, dip your brush in blue, juggle with other colours of the rainbow as well. Don't be afraid of the black and white drawing, perhaps to expose outdated black and white drawing?

Any method is right to approach and form yourself and us an impression of it.

The equality body relent on much contribution.

The conditions of participation

Participation is open to all people.

Minors must attach the written consent of guardian.

Take into account all exclusively by conventional mail sent, thematically by the sender for the occasion-made work in postcard format (approx. 14,8 x 10,5 cm).

All artistic techniques are welcome, the more versatile the better it is: drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, collage, literature etc.

Each work must have the full visible address, including e-mail-address of the artist.

The submitted works will be presented in an exhibition.

Organizer only accepts postage works.

There is no liability for any loss or damage.

Each artist is responsible for the content of his art postcard. Postcards with misanthropic, sexist, violent content or otherwise contrary to applicable law are excluded from the project.

Participation requirement is that the participant has all rights to the sent artwork.

The unlimited exploitation rights for all parts of the image is that the image is free of rights of third parties. Upon filing of the work he/she automatically ensures compliance with this condition. With a recognizable image of a person the participants add their written consent.

With the submission of the work the participants give the equality body of the city of Paderborn the use of rights and authorizes them to publication without fees, reproduction and dissemination in all relevant media for coverage and promotion of the equality body.

As it is usual for mail art projects that posted work remain at the organizers.

Please send your works of art by August 31st, 2013 to:

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on April 20, 2013 at 5:42pm: PHONE BOX INTERNATIONAL MAIL ART EXHIBITION

Please participate in an International Mail Art Exhibition I am organising in June on the themes of Phones, Post Boxes or anything to do with telecommunications.

My friends Eddy & Annette Duprey recently bought an old British telephone box and moved it -- at great expense and effort -- from the South of Wales to the South of France. And now this iconic traditional red phone box stands in somewhat isolated splendor in their garden.

To celebrate The Box's official opening on 14 June, 2013, I'm organising a Mail art Exhibition, as part of IUOMA's 25th Anniversary celebrations. Works received will be placed on and in the phone box.

Details of the Exhibition are as follows:

THEME: Phones, Phone Boxes, or anything to do with Telecommunications

DATE: 14 June, 2013. (It's a small phone box...and a small exhibition!)

SIZE: Anything -- but postcards preferred

TECHNIQUE: Free. Anything goes -- drawings, paintings, collages, assemblages...it's up to you (as long as they will fit in or on the Box).

VENUE: The British Telephone Box by the swimming pool, Chez Duprey, 9 Rue Jacques Prévert Emeraude, Sigean, France

DEADLINE: 10 June, 2013

CONDITIONS: No prizes, no jury, no returns, etc

PLEASE SEND YOUR MAIL ART TO/

Val Herman, 1 Rue de la Vieille Fontaine, F-11130 Sigean, France.

Comment by El Taller de Zenon on April 4, 2013 at 1:54pm: WE ARE OPEN YET...

ARTISTAMPS call / STAMPS SHEETS

At birth, stamps live all together in a sheet and they come away from it when they become adults...
Create one or more than one stamps sheet. Any theme, any medium.
The "Taller de Zenon" will send you some of his own sheets recently done and all the received stamps sheets will be exhibited in our blog (http://sheetsexhibition.blogspot.com/)

Any theme (See some suggestions)

Send to:
Miguel Jimenez - El Taller de Zenón
C/ Santa Maria de Guia 1 - 4C, ES-41008 Sevilla, España

Suggestions:
Eroticism always had been one of the motors of human being ¿Is it still a motor at the present time? ¿Was it affected by the actual global crisis? Consider the option to work about eroticism as a theme in all the possible ways, the requiered size is suitable to develop it, and it will be interesting to prove how the actual crisis is affecting eroticism in connection with Postal Art.
