Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:
1980
My Website (without http://):
http://www.aillet.com
Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
For the Art project "Le Solitaire... des marées" : "Solitary…of Tides".

It has been the intention of Jean-Francois Aillet to invite 7000 people from every corner of the world to collect as many samples of sand from as many beaches. A major portion of the sand collected will be merged into a large Solitary to be situated atop his project: “Le Solitaire …..des marées” ("Solitary….of Tides”). This unique monument will be erected in a public place somewhere in the world in the future.

The artist Jean-Francois Aillet invites you to collect your sample from a moraine, from next to a waterfall or beside a river. along the shore of a lake or a stream, in a desert or on the border of an ocean. One should not, however, send him sand from a construction site. You are asked to document your collection of the material with a photo, taken as you are pouring the sand into a container. For an example, kindly visit his home page at www.aillet.com.

To date Jean-François Aillet has received 1160 samples. One may view these in a stable near “Pegasus Bridge” next to his residence. You, your friends and acquaintances are invited to see his project through to completion. Your name will be mentioned in connection with your sample. So please go out at once and gather sand, or bring it back from a beach where you vacation.

"Peace-Gun Action = Cut-Up. Working Memory & Action Peace"

What a wonderful "cut-up" project Jean-Francois! Thank you for the link.

My father was in the US Army there in France, then 1944-45, and returned home safely.

Great project, love to participate, but am really SWAMPED with other things I need to do just now; complete my Mapping Banana Culture on the Sunshine Coast, including a report on my findings, and get International Art Post into production toot sweet. . . . and proceed to find presenters for my next PechaKucha event.

Life is full!

best wishes,

anna

Earthling, this is the last but certainly not the least welcome message to IUOMA you receive. I’m a celestial mail artist living in a heavenly corner of the faraway universe called Republik van Patland. When you joined IUOMA on 31 July  I was unable to welcome you on board.  At the time I was in a celestial journey far beyond the Milky Way. Now, back to planet Earth, I´d love to be the other end when you decide it’s the right time to start trading snail mail art. If this is the case at the time your envelope should read as follows:

The Celestial Scribe

Terrene Embassy

Republik van Patland

Caixa Postal 24827

Curitiba-PR

80510-970

Brazil (a sandy country)

I look forward to see a piece of yours in our terrene mailbox. I will do my homework after receiving yours. This is nothing less than a Celestial Promise. I’m Patricio, Celestial Scribe & Republik van Patland official envelope provider.
