FROM ARTS-IN ISTANBUL... Istanbul Mail Art Project is OVER:(((

[İlknur Akman]

Today at ARTS-In Istanbul we had a different day. Generally we have a very cheerful atmosphere in the gallery and we are always in a very very positive mood. Bu today was somehow different. You could feel it!!!  We were happy-cheerful  and sad at the same time... We were happy because our gallery had been enlightened with precious artworks from all over the world for more than two weeks. Seeing all those beautiful, clever, shocking, unique, classical, modern, abstract, conceptual artworks around us, on our walls, pouring upon us from our ceiling has been an incredible experience for all of us. But we were sad at the same time because it was all over!!! Meral carefully took down all artworks from their places. She collected them, one by one in a very beautiful dossier. That is going to be our ''mail art archives''. That even can be the first corner stone of our dream ''mail art museum'' :)) So here are some pictures from this special day of ours. I wanted to share some of our moments with you because you have been part of our experience and definitely part of our day. Thank you to all!!!

You had a good run and made IUOMA proud! Thanks for the blogging updates and what a great idea to collect them all in a book! This has been a great 25 year effort.
