1952 (when I sent a "Thankyou for my Birthday Present' to my Grandma, and illustrated it with a little drawing). Since then my Mail Art history has been, well, interesting
I found your perfect destination Val! Internet is frustratingly slow where I am.. back to mail art business in the new year. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. x
Ciao Valentine! siamo tutti belli noi mailartisti perchè siamo generosi e regaliamo la nostra arte! W LA MAIL ART E LA PERFORMANCE ART ...E IUOMA!!!! ;) poetamailartfluxus !
Valentine, I don't know how close you are to Paris, but I couldn't help but think of you when I heard about the terrorist attack in that city on the news this morning. Hope that you and your family are safe and well!
I received your latest card on Monday, and it is awesome. Sorry that I haven't contacted you before, but I haven't been feeling the best the last few days. We've had lots of cold weather all over the United States recently, so lots of people here haven't been feeling the best. - Gail
hello, the PUNNEKINs arrived and I send you the thanks by Casper and Piccettino. I was sick but now I feel better and by Monday I'll send you something.
Got your postcard quicker than mine got to yours!!!Its a tri-color motif w/ green,blue, and orange... also a very cool example of an old royal mail add,with a punch magazine ad!
As I mentioned before, I cannot meet the deadline for your exhibition (due to circumstances...) but I am posting a photo to you so you know what my bit will look like when it comes. Just the sketch, of course, as I have some layers to do to get a white surface. Although, now that I think about it, maybe I don't want a fully white surface. I did, however, fill the hole with a homemade modeling compound. It will be too late, but I did promise to send one to you.
I just realized, i don't know how to send the photo into messages. hmmmmm
OK. Figured it out.
I apologize for not getting it to you on time for your exhibition.
Hi Val, I can't believe I failed to write your full address properly, I send lots of parcels all the time and I'm usually really thorough... Anyway, I sent it originally on March 18th and it made it to where in France I don't know and was returned to me Mon 30th in the morning. As it hadn't been franked, I replaced wrong address with right address and put it back in the post in the afternoon at no extra cost. I'd completely forgotten about Easter as I eat chocolate all the time. Fingers crossed it's half way there already.
On Facebook the complete world is active. On IUOMA the ones who have chosen for this specific social network. So IUOMA is a small island, while Facebook is the complete world with all kind of subgroups that play together. On Facebook the company decides on the rules (and also the censorship and thise things), on IUOMA the moderator and groupowners can make their rules (and censor what they want).
Another difference. facebook is a commercial market. They earn on your interests and advertisings. IUOMA is a non-commercial activity (I don't get paid for the moderating the thing.....)

I just remembered I saw an installation of Jenny Holzer's art years ago. I think it was at the Walker Art Canter in Minneapolis. It was super. Linda
