Erni's small package of EAT ART

Yes, Erni can even strike again with a small package.  As children we always thought that Ausland was our German grandmother's kitchen.  She would always smile and say; "AUS KINDER, Aus out of my kitchen"  or maybe she said raus.  Yes, I remember, it was RAUS KINDER!

But in the end, before we went home, she would always give us gummi-bares just like Erni sent.  He knows everything, and this was a great package with lots to eat.  Thank you.…

Limner Mail Art #21, Sexy Back

There's nothing boring about mail art. So, the front of an envie should be just as sexy as the back. I want to push the envelope a little bit more, so I've decided to add a short story or story bits to the backs of mine, once in a while. Then I can say, "Um, the post office published one of my short stories." Then, too, maybe recipients will be less inclined to toss my letters. Well, maybe.…

GOTIJ "ETHER" from Marie Wintzer in Japan

Yes, today, Tuesday was a GOOD Mail Art Day at Glinou 20!

(Note that postage stamps had fallen off, too slick was the paper? But my post gal kept them in her hand and delivered them to me along with the mail art from Marie...thus NO postage-due ;-)

Well, for sure, Marie sends amazing hand-crafted envelopes of fine Japanese...ads.

And while she…

GOTIJ Mail Art from Torma Cauli in Hungary

This most beautifully layered--textured-trash poetic card arrived in Greece today from Torma Cauli.

There are many layers of "stars and stripes" it seems.

And a softer textured material in Greek blue and white.

Folded, over…

A Question of Language - Ruud Janssen, Marie Wintzer, Katerina NIKOLTSOU

From Ruud Janssen - a new FLUXUS word - which brought me to the question of language - YES I KNOW - AGAIN!!!

I read somewhere that language can be seen as the ‘signature’ style of conceptual art.  From the late 1960’s there was a  breakdown in distinction between the space of the publication and the space of exhibition.  Words flew from books, publications and the…

Striking way to visit and come home from Mont Blanc, eh? Most original--the ice cube kills me--as we've come to expect from Dean. Thank you, Dean, this mystified and…

Mont Blanc via Bar code - from ... you know who

It's a Dean of course :-) Dean is making mail-art even when on vacation and having his birthday. This is a thank you card for the birthday wishes, which is so very nice of him. Dean went on a skying weekend during which he met the banana family, who made a big impression on him, so I am a little bit concerned about the Bar Codes. Am I holding one of the last Bar…
