Mail-Art Cafe

IUOMA mail artists, Mim Golub Scalin and Kemal Ozyurt...what a place for a cafe: roof top of Richmond Hotel overlooking Istanbul, Bosphorus and the Golden horn!

It is with great pleasure that I will outline and appeal, which is already available all information in the first Mail Art Call that im organized in partnership with the owner of the historic coffee "Cabana dos Parodiantes  " in Salvaterra de Magos, Portugal.

The Theme is "Planet Earth is a large island with a huge ocean around! " 

A new event was created here on IUOMA, where you can access all detailed information, or visit the attached link created for this Mail Art Call. 

I would like that the event become a great success, then I am counting on your participation and   would like on behalf of the organizers, to thank all those who choose to participate with your Mail Art pieces.

Eduardo, you did an amazing job of collecting textures for rubbings-frottage!

thank you so much for this asemic-minimal beauty!

And in today's mail, from TicTac, came a card reminding me to stop by the CAFE

....for a cup of "T"!

I've been participating in a market in which I'm selling some of my art.

Here's some pieces I'm selling there:

HAPPY EASTER, Happy Earth Day, Happy Second-Day-of-Easter to all!

Photobooth Book Photos Call

If you want to participate in the next photobooth book, mail in four photobooth style photos with dialogue bubbles documenting a photobooth performance by November 30th, 2011 to: PhotoBooth Book, PO Box 1424, Jupiter, FL 33468  For quality control, no electronic submissions please - original photobooth photos only - no copies! No returns. Future exhibitions to be announced to participants. Be sure to use the prescribed format - photobooth image size and include dialog bubbles. .

To understand the format fully see a preview of pages from a recently released photobooth book at URL: http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/a-day-at-the-races/10256119 allowing a slight delay time in loading the preview. The prescribed format files are also downloadable from http://ginnylloyd.blogspot.com/. (see book announcement) If you do not have access to a photobooth you can use clear photos of quality in the format. You can send in as many performances as you want but I can only guarantee space for one submission at this time.

Participants will be able to get a copy of the next book as a free PDF download or print copies at wholesale. Updates and announcements will be made on the http://ginnylloyd.blogspot.com/ blog, Facebook and here,

Thanks,

Ginny

July Full Moon today. Let's go-to-the-moon group, too! ;-)

New call in the year 2011:

" VII Annual Contemporary Artists", Pontedera (Pisa - Italy).

This year also, the annual meeting of contemporary artists, in Carrozzeria Rizieri di Pontedera with The MAIL ART exhibition ESSERCI SENZA ESSERCI 4 (“Being There, Without Being There" – IV edition)

Curated by: Enzo Correnti (poster and collaboration of _guroga)

The exhibition is part of the manifestation:

La FuGa NoN è Mai oRDiNaTa (“The elopement is not tidy”)

VII iNCoNTRo aRTiSTi CoNTeMPoRaNei PoNTeDeRa (PiSa) - iTaLia

Saturday 24 and Sunday, September 25, 2011

There is participation "free".

Send one or more mail arts to the following address:

Enzo Correnti Via Garella, 43 - 59100 Prato
(ITALIA)

http://esserci-senza-esserci.blogspot.com/2011/05/esserci-senza-esserci-4-being-there.html

La FuGa NoN è Mai oRDiNaTa...can also be translated:

"The escape is never planned"

or

"The escape is never orderly" (though "not tidy" is great!)

...and also the meaning of an "elopement" never planned,

or being spontaneous...if we start to stretch the meaning.

Fun to let our imagination be free to make mail art for this!

Thanks, thanks you, Katerina!!! Look here, your mail art!!!  Your art is very beautiful :) :) :)

Hug for you!!!

PD:

Hello Nancy, "thank you" (from Enzo Correnti) 

A hug ...

Thank you, Enzo, for posting it on your blog.

May you have great success with your project:

Escape is not always "ordinary"...my translation ;-)

...leave to the bird!

Cafe members...meet you at the Teahouse of the August Moon tonight!

Hey!  Finally IUOMA is sending me notifications again!

It has been a summer fraught with problems.  I'll meet you in the teahouse tonight and promise not to tell you about them.

Thinking about you a lot just lately Kate, hoping things were bearable (like a 40 degree sun and crumbling economy)

bestest greets

It's a Full Moon, Rod, and other friends...nothing is crumbling here,

all is "cool" tonight ;-)

Iets lekkers.  Today I harvested the first batch of the Sweet Corn from my garden and whilst listening to 'Disraeli Gears' by Cream I blanched them and put them in the freezer.  Sweet?  I should say so!

Greetings from Paul Tillia

Paul is an artist, gallery owner and mailartist in Palkane, Finland who has been with us for years.  He always send a great holiday greeting painting and I tried to copy it to the cafe for the walls but it didn't work. He was also involved with a group of artist selected to put art work at the Olympics in Bejing.
