FOR NO IDEA'S MINI MAIL ART GROUP
Posted on March 28, 2020 at 4:03pm 0 Comments 0 Favorites
Hi!
Please look at the Arty Slide International Group which I started in 2012. It was as Mini as I could think of then. We held 2 good Slide Art exhibitions in France. I still have the Arty Slides (somewhere!) that IUOMA colleagues contributed. Bianca has died, alas. I have gained a Stidio and moved to bigger bits of art.
Here is the text that started it all:…

Posted on March 19, 2020 at 5:03pm 13 Comments 3 Favorites
I wonder what is happening to your national mail system?
In my small village in the South of France, there is sporadic delivery of mail. The local Post Office is closed, and people are directed to one about 10 miles away -- but there is a 'lockdown' on almost all travel, and it's far from clear that a trip to this Post Office to send off some Mail Art would be accepted by the authorities (and, if not, would result in a €135/$150 fine).
The only shop that sells stamps in the…
ContinueNeil Innes, RIP. Doo-Dah and Dada
Posted on January 2, 2020 at 6:35pm 1 Comment 2 Favorites
Neil Innes died just before Christmas.
He wrote the music and many of the lyrics for the Monty Python TV series and films.
He also played in a number of groups, one of which -- a group of art school students -- was the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (which I remember seeing in a three-quarters empty Civi Theatre in Darlington, England, in the 1960's).
The Band was originally called the Bonzo Dog Dada Band, but no one got the reference to Dada, so it was renamed the Bonzo Dog…

1. Heathland Caravan Park, Lowestoft, England -- a remarkably composed Boring Postcard, lots of fields, a bit of sea, but all you can see (if you are in a plane or a helicopter) of the caravans are some white dots
2. Staircase at Hotel de l'Avenir, Heyst-sur-Mer, France -- this hotel obviously had a future as it boast its electric lighting…

What's also odd about the Amsterdam church postcard is that I bought it when I was visiting!

HI Val, nice to hear from you! I never did anything about the bus stop idea - so many other things got in the way. I was developing this idea for a mail art exhibition in Vienna, which would have been a great venue, 25 meters of shop windows, and there is bus stop too coincidentally. https://diewandzeitung.wordpress.com/ I had contacted them with a proposal. Unfortunately, just today I got their response and the news that they are going to discontinue the project Wandzeitung. So unless they change their mind ... maybe I will contact some other venues, but I had my heart set on this one as it is right on the street corner, so I have to see how I feel. I guess the bus stop in the village is still a possibility. These books about sovjet bus stops sound interesting! You had a mail art exhibition in a phone boy, I remember!
