Send mail or not send?

I read this, Ilya, and wonder if you're getting mail again, and is your mail being received?  I would love to share out with you.  My experience, lately, is I send out mailart regularly, actual drawings and paintings, and receive very little in return. I would love to find faithful artist friends who love art, either sent or received.

Dear friends,

I am delighted to see this age-old discussion revived once again. It is the right thing to do. The panellists touched on the thorny issue of rising postal costs. The issue raised by honourable Carien van Hest could be the subject of a separate Mail Art project, an independent exhibition. 

I have a philosophical attitude towards those facts that I define as non-lethal (that which does not threaten us, does not offend us, does not humiliate us, and does not kill us). These non-lethal things just have to be neighboured with - we can't change them. So I stay on the mailing as much as I can, although I don't send as much or as often as I used to. That is my approach to this problem. 

hi ilya,

this will not solve the problem, but it will give more facts to the discussion and will help to rise attention for mal-function of this postal services.

i will try to send you this type of mail art too.

join it if you like it.

best
