Mail by Stephen Perkins (Madison, Wisconsin, USA)

 

July 19, 2018 - Stephen Perkins using the moniker Janet Janet was a central figure in the great mail art surge of the 1980s. Those who participated or have studied correspondence and zines from that era are likely to recognize the Janet Janet persona even if they are not familiar with Perkins, who has also achieved a distinguished career in the above-ground art world.

Mail art by IUOMA member Yayoi S.W. (Kirkland, Washington, USA)

 

July 18, 2018 - Yayoi S.W. is creating wonderful art and sharing it via the Eternal Network. She is receiving rave responses. Because her work is often image-text and/or asemic, she has captured the interest of the vispo and asemics communities as well.

I’ve already been thrilled to include her work in the Asemic Front mail art call. Her asemics are becoming, in…

Mail art by IUOMA member Bonniediva (Gurnee, Illinois, USA)

 

July 15, 2018 - To be honest this lovely collage with verses was never “lost” as much as it was “misplaced.”  But making lemon juice from sour cherries, I squeeze this into an opportunity to share a hitherto unseen piece from mail art friend – the ever-exceptional – Bonniediva! The collage is vintage October 2017. And a fine harvest indeed!

Mail art by IUOMA member DharmaDaDa Neil Gordon (Torrington, Connecticut, USA)

 

July 10, 2018 - Trashpo (and the accompanying DKult of trashpoets) has been a network activity for about a decade. (Opinions differ – of course – about where and when Trashpo started.)

The popular consensus is that Trashpo began with postings by visual poet Jim Leftwich (Virginia, USA) on Fluxlist in 2007. Diane Keys (Illinois, USA) brought Trashpo to…

Beans zines (issues #3 & #4) by IUOMA member David Alan Goldberg (Charlotte, North Carolina, USA)

 

July 4, 2018 - Prophets of doom in the 1990s announced the birth of the Digital Age marked the death of mail art. Here in 2018, mail art is thriving and defying the old prediction. The current network requires integrating the digital and the snail mail postal system. A few Old School folks object (see the Retired Mail Artists group on…
