Mark Pawson on his 1980s mail art archive

"Still can't quite believe that he is gone. Tragic loss to the many that knew him. Nice to hear him talk about his mail art practice. Strangely I can see videos on IOUMA but not photos? Still can't figure out why!"

Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:
1980
My Website (without http://):
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ruud-Janssen/126853977330127
Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I like communication, art, paper, painting and concepts. The ideal combination for doing Mail-Art. Worked with rubberstamps as a child and started sending out letters as soon as I could write. Discovered that it was called mail-art in 1980. Have been discovering ever since and in the last years also promoting this free cultural exchange.

Dearest Ruud, I haven't sent Mail Art for a while now, if you think my groups are too off topic tell me, and I'll stop posting images, and if you want you can delete them. A fraternal hug. Bruno Cassaglia

Hello,

Not Dutch, but Belgian. I've lived in Tokyo for over 30 years.

I can guess there have been a lot of changes, very interested to find out!
