I know. I was surprised actually, because she's always been supportive of my ideas. How ironic though that an art performance is not 'appropriate' for a reception celebrating art. Snobbery has no place in art yet it's all over it. That's why I like Mail Art. Fuck the poseur art snobs you know? I will still do my sale, but like my original laundry line, the audience might only be one or two squirrels and some ked and capri wearing suburban jogger-bys. I just had to post it because at first I felt utter rejection on all levels, but I took a risk and then it dawned on me how absurd it was. You could just feel her bristle up at the thought of it. Well, thanks for reading my blog. I always think I' m in some kind of vacuum and you and others help me feel I'm being heard on some level. Miss seeing you around--good to heard from you AND Dark Wall. Ramone and Stubbs said they would contribute an empty tequila bottle and tamale wrappers to the sale.

Monkey Mania setting in?? Summer is on the way, that means the monkeys will be too. I'm setting their breakfast table as we speak ;-) X

Dear Bowling Pin. Life could get worse - you could be set up as Monkey King. Its VERY difficult to be the boss of Asemics AND monkeys. Did your D-Koder come with a manufacturing guarantee? Or instructions in some foreign language? That can certainly slow up a venture to The See. Sea? :-) XX

Thanks! I am now officially an Old Man -- but don't feel it, yet.

I'm young enough to be a Mail Artist -- just.

And hopefully we can continue being IUOMA Friends, 'cos I value your friendship.

Hey DVS!! Was this the show that was here in Chicago? I read the description-no pics unless I missed it. Love the idea. that was way back when i first met you I think.

I'm thinking what's happened, is there are some faux DVS pants circulating. I feel certain of this. I'm not sure what you can do about this, but it could definately start some less than tasteful rumors. Of course scandal is free publicity, so I'm glad the piece is a success. But why again did you do it? I forget what led to such extreme action

Oct 17, 2011
DKeys

you know what? I have no idea. It was so long ago and I can't figure out what I would have sent. I know I sent a sweater postcard to Lisa. Maybe it was coat tails? I know it makes me want to see the results of so many amazing artists that submitted. I specialize in futile and useless--someone has to root for the underdog

Yes, although it was Steve Lowe. Steven had an interesting literary pedigree. He started out in Manhattan writing pornography, a tale he never got tired of telling. A huge room filled with typesetting machines (not the old linotype but phototype) and over each workstation was a pornographic subject category: Bondage, Lesbian, Gay, Montana Sheep Farming etc. For Steven it was a chance to deploy a stream of consciousness type of writing. James Joyce in the gutter. I can't remember how he and Burroughs crossed paths which is odd because I'm sure he told me countless times. As I said he loved telling the stories over and over but you never got tired of them because he was such an engaging storyteller.

It was a thrill and a half to receive the Elgin Shroud pocket shred AND authentication certificate from you, DVS--wow--and a few other types of shred to boot! Thank you! Is it ok with you if I blog the whole package?

Oh, I certainly sent you a pregnant print! If it doesn't arrive soon, I'll send another. No problem. It's made it to Greece by now, I don't know why yours is missing...weird.

OOh!! Elgin Shroud!! I had to go back and research the thread in the trash-po world to make sure I was in the know. Eagerly awaiting any snippet of joy from DK's trashy garment.

That is the only time I think this will be the complete image. Its the beginning of A Case for Aesthetics. From the only apparent member of A.C.E. Interesting you used Nancy (Drew?) in this regard.

Bonsoir! I posted another 8 Silly Stampphotos earlier today that might amuse you. That's the end of the series for now (not the least because I've had to return the digital camera I borrowed). Liberté, Egalité et Art Postal

Bonjour!

Probably like wine, and possibly like women, my (mail) art improves over time, so while the 'earlier' stuff was young and fruity with a delicious bouquet and a subtle taste of licquorice, the latter works are full, mature...etc, etc,

Yawn.... and pass the bottle, please.

Just a thought: if you start a 'serious' discussion like I did the other day, *you get a handfull of replies, but if you start a silly one -- like 'DVS wears odd luminous socks' * --you'd probably get swamped by funny messages, photos, etc. Now what does that tell us about, well, us?

Regards, Val

* Don't worry, I'm NOT going to launch this one on the IUOMA world!

Hello DVS! Today I have received your asemic *5 so you do not have to send it again!

I have had to travel towards another city but when I return I will publish the photos.

I value ver yvery much your art and everything that you contribute in IUOMA.

At the Asemic *5 I have been employed with the idea of the signs that are accumulated forming a thick matter, condensations, clouds, the sky, a window, the space,, architectural structures .... arquiteXture architext, it has been a tour, a flight, I have been a pilot...

Thank you very much for everything! I am preparing an exhibition that it inaugurates on January 13 and after that I will continue with my new asemic.

All the best for you!!!
