The poem is a metaphor for the situation we're living, in my city. People are lazy, and no one seems to have interest in art, or other rich things for the mind. Only a few people I know are involved in art. The city's galleries don't promote that much the local artists. And everything is made with a certain elitism, which sickens me.

The young people just care about drugs, alcool, and futile things. It's a sad situation. And people look indifferent to that... Like ghosts in the walls of a coffin.

Sorry for the flu Kate, but it's a good excuse to be extra kind to yourself.

My archive has a large ammount of Cavellini... he was .... generous.... he even appears in 'Mail Art Dada Skank' on my page although... apperently... he wasn't to pleased with the verse we made about him;~)

Happy new home , Judy! Be sure to let us know when you move beyond the Capitol...into that white house, there....;-)

Judy Skolnick

The move takes place Feb 7th and ends Feb 14th. I will be schleping stuff the first week then the guys with a truck come the second week, then I have to find where I put all my stuff. No way do I want to be near the White House much less in it, all those protesters are a pain.

Super partying! I was along with you gals, "in spirit", right? They say in reports made about us "baby boomers", that we do NOT feel our age, and "seniors" are those kids in 4th year high school or college! ;-)

I will soon organize a New MAIL ART CALL with a friend here in PORTUGAL, the exhibition will be in a historic and well-known coffee which usually organizes Art Events I hope to count on your participation. Soon I will give all the detailed information, stay tuned.

"Is mail art good?!" — it all comes down to a grain of sand and the eye of the beholder, yes?!

Mar 7, 2011
Judy Skolnick

Whatever makes you turn on it does!!!!!

Mar 7, 2011
Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

It all comes down to a grain (or two or three) of sand! Yes indeedy.

I have been making "sandpo"...sand poetry.

Is mail art art? I dig it!

Mar 7, 2011
Rod Summers / VEC

It depends how you perceive 'good' when related to any art form. Who decides? Artists? Art Critics? The public? Time?

It might equally be asked "Is music good?"

Also: Good for Whom, and/or Why, and/or Where, and/or What, and/or When?

(Some Good Music is playing here at the moment: early Bowie. Good for me here, 'cos i lik it, Diamond Dogs, and right now)

Wonderful, I have allergies to tree pollen and I am sneezing all day.

Mar 19, 2011
Eduardo Cardoso

:) Same thing here. I sneeze all day when I get tree or flower pollen. And once in awhile I get an asthma attack. But I'm used to it.

Mar 19, 2011
Judy Skolnick

Take care of the asthma, that is hard, here we are getting covered in yellow pollen on cars and everything outside
