Received MA - Elke Grundmann (Germany) - Danke!

Long overdue on posting this. So sorry, Elke. Got put in a different folder. EG is an artist whose work continues to facinate me. Her assemblages and typographic desconstructions are quite enigmatic and I do recommend seeking out her posted work.…

Tokyo snail being pernickety. Or moody. Or something...

Do my postcards look like envelopes?

I've send this postcard to Art who leaves in a neighboring area in Tokyo, putting 70 yen of postage instead of the 50 required for domestic postcards. He got it with a note from the post asking him to pay the 10 yen that are missing within 10 days (10yen=0.1UDS).

Wot?

Maybe they thought it was a letter, for which I should have put 80 yen of postage, but the reason they give it that it was too heavy, which it is definitely not.

Why they… Continue

Received: Mail art from Angie Cope and STAMMER FETISH anti-art recipe (Port Washington, Wisconsin, USA)

September 21, 2010 - Angie Cope sent me mail art - we're on round two - and it lifted my spirits in a very dark time. First, is the piece above which I think represents Angie's dog Snooky who is rapidly becoming a mail art icon. But I think it gets even better than that. The pieces below…

Received: Legendary missing White Rabbit mail art by Swinx (Greifswald, Germany)

September 19, 2010 - In the depths of summer, Swinx posted this mail art print at the IUOMA. It was very popular, and I requested a large signed copy - a real favor to ask indeed. Week after week, no White Rabbit in my mailbox, Then on Saturday it suddenly appeared. I am very grateful. What is the allure of this white rabbit art that caught my attention along…

Received: Post-feminist mail art from Jen Staggs (Dallas, Texas, USA)

September 17, 2010 - I personally appreciate Jen Stagg's mail art as much as her photos, especially shots from New Orleans I've seen elsewhere. I like receiving work from IUOMA friends that incorporates fabric, sewing, and weaving. In previous blog posts I've thanked Mariska van den Heuvel (Holland - sewn paper) and Tina Festa (Italy - woven… Continue

From South Africa....Cheryl Penn's Art

I've been looking forward to getting mail from Cheryl. She sent me a note with the piece but I very often can't read cursive so you guys can have at it, I love pieces with fiber a lot. always have. That's probably why I put cords on many of my own works.Cheryl's piece is about Pollack and IS wonderful!

Received: "Rosso Sangue" mail art from Ander Morlando (Napoli, Italy)

September 16, 2010 - From the first time I saw his mail art at the IUOMA a few months ago, I wanted to be Ander Morlando's friend. I like the clarity, vibrant color, and his mastery of technology to make art (which is better seen in his IUOMA portfolio). I've also been intrigued by the ideas Ander must have that inform his work. I especially like and ponder about his "Simbolicus erratus" series. In the piece he sent…

Received from Karen Champlin, USA--another masterpiece from Art Nation

Thanks much and thanks for acknowledging my penchant for hardware--love the key (and I do not take lightly the responsibility that comes with having the key in my possession). There are a couple of things that come to mind about a key: turn it one way and it locks something up, turn it the other way and it sets something free; a lock doesn't work without a key, and a key has no relevance without a lock. At any rate, great…
