My method-of-madness is to put incoming mail art as a "blog", were I like to show details as well. Then the mail art that I make is posted in my "photos" section, and I don't reveal to whom I sent it. There have been times, like Heleen said, when I will wait for someone to receive it and then post it at "photos".

On the blogs, I usually blur out my address, not that it isn't public on my page, but I often find that it distracts from the sender's lovely art on the envelope or postcard :-)

Message from Bruno in English (thanks to online translators):

"Dear Mailartist Friends, I would like to know from you, if you are also a web artist .. Or if you do not want to mix the mail art with the web. As I already wrote, I believe that the web is a continuation of the mail art.
A fraternal embrace [from Bruno Cassaglia]"

Bruno, parlando per me stesso, non sono una mail artista del web. Anche se ho scoperto il software di pittura del computer e mi piace, in arte postale preferisco i processi postali e le aggiunte da parte delle aziende postali. Come potrebbe l'internet aggiungerli?
Ma ci sono molti artisti della posta che sono diventati digitali. Li troverai anche qui! Saluti cordiali!

Cari Amici Mailartisti,  mi farebbe piacere sapere da voi,  se vi sentite anche web artist  .. O se non volete mischiare la mail art col web. Come già scrissi, io credo che il web sia una continuazione della mail art. Un fraterno abbraccio .

G'day Artful Writer,

Welcome at IUOMA!

Good question, you're not the first nor only who is wary of posting personal addresses.
About posting addresses there are no rules either, apart from that thoughtfulness might be appreciated.

About addresses on the internet there is an almost similar question/discussion, see

http://iuoma-network.ning.com/group/askanything/forum/topics/safety...

Speaking for myself, I prefer to post sent mail after the receiver has received it, so the surprise is kept for him or her.

When a mail artist has her or his address clearly written on the public internet (for example here at IUOMA or on his/her personal blog), I would post the mail art completely on my blog, though on instagram I usually blur any address, or I put a paper, with the written single word 'address', over the real address.
When the receiver (and also senders) doesn't have an address in public I sure will blur or cover it when I post the mail art in the internet or instagram.

Howdy,

So I read same very loose rules. I posted a photo of my first outgoing mail art then removed it. It seems it's nicer for the receiver to post a photo of incoming mail. But what about putting up photos of what you send on your social media accounts i.e. twitter, instagram etc? Any rules about that? Bit wary of posting the personal addresses of others. 

Cheers

@Carl  I have been guilty of forgetting to sign a card or put a legible return address on something.  Never intended.  There are some people whose practice is to send anonymously sometimes.  I don't think it is meant as spooky.

i really dislike getting mail-art from ppl who do not identify themselves!

whats the point? i got an envelope today postmarked denver colo.with no return name/address. mail art is about exchange, its not about some anonymous spooky thing that some think it is, its frustrating, join the union and stop this nonsense please.

Is there anybody out there who is working as an art teacher in school and would like to start a mail art exchange with my group of five students at the local Montessori School here in Germany?
