- I RECEIVED AN EMAIL TO SAY YOU HAD LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY OPEN FLUXUS PAGE BUT I AM LOCKED OUT OF OPEN FLUXUS AS THE PORTAL DOESN'T ACCEPT MY PASSWORD. I tried to reset my password but it refuses to accept me so, as far as i am concerned i am out of the network. What with that and the problems i have had which led to me being twice on IUOMA I must admit I've just about had it with SOCIAL networks. Please leave your message on either of my IUOMA pages! or on my group rodsummersinvenice. best greets

- Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
- I'm involved to share my art and have an artist/poet support network which is more important to my creativity then institutional attention, which is often more stifling then supportive. Were I to be offered cash for a matted digital print or original art - or combination of the two - I do not have a 'manifesto' or 'anti-manifesto' reason to turn that down, given that I spend money on postage and computer supplies and occasionally enjoy matting and framing my own and other's visual poetry or artworks. When I do go out of my way to offer works or my handmade jewelry at the occasional one day art fair, then it does bring me joy to see strangers respond to my creative efforts. HOWEVER, mail-art is more the NORM and it is often best to create a postcard and mail it off to fellow mailartist rather then put the work up on a pedestal in a gallery. Try to avoid getting 'stuck in a rut' creating objects that one discovers is 'sale-able'. That's not art - it's 'commerce'. It would also not be good to conclude that only people with 'time on their hands' and a secure income from other sources are able to 'produce' mailart. Surely some people can be productive 'gallery' artists and/or writers and/or keep the 'day job-paycheck' and still churn out small works from 'off the cuff' to keep in touch with one's colleagues.... which is the 'networking' side to mailart. I, myself, found it difficult to focus on mailart when working full-time and raising two children. I'm still not good at 'instant' replies to mailart... not like I was back in the 70's and early 80's. It is good that my spouse is also a mailartist and is dicsiplined about keeping contacts. Often I get to enjoy his mailart - and hence am participating 'vicariously' through him. It is wonderful when we travel to be able to meet correspondents from other parts of the States and sometimes other parts of the world. We were able to meet Clemente Padin in Montevideo along with many other Latin American visual poets/ experimental writers, and to enjoy Paris France with Nicolas Carras and Alan Revich for a week last year.
I have a set at my flickr site just for "vispo events" where I keep photos from these trips. One day we would like to visit Italy, Spain, Germany, etc. while we are still young enough to enjoy it, and if the economy allows.
