On August 16th 1988 the idea of the IUOMA was born. In November 2008 this IUOMA platform at NING became the home for members.

New Asemic Writing by Yayoi S.W. (Kirkland, Washington, USA)

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…

Happy to be Back

I'm happy to be back on IUOMA! I've been away for about a year, due to some personal issues. (All is good now.) I thought something happened to my account, because I couldn't sign in, so I applied for a new account. Then I found my login information and discovered I was using the wrong email address, so I cancelled my request to join, and updated this account.
I don't think I owe anyone anything, but if I do please let me know. I was using the name PJ Matilda. I've had a…

Somehow people always think that if a group of artists work together that then there must automatically be some kind of organisation that coordinates it all. Well, in mail art there are many groups working together. These groups themselves also work together, but there is NO organisation that arranges all the things that go on in the mail art network. The I.U.O.M.A. is the Union that mail artists can become a member of. The Union has no rules. Everybody who is active in mail art and hears about the Union can become a member just by saying so.
In 1988 the idea of the IUOMA was born. I invented this name and made forms for people to become a member of this (fictive) union. About 300 mail artists reacted in a year, and official membership cards were made, even a official Union Magazine was published. Anybody who was a member of the Union could also claim a special function within the Union.
Even today, people still join the Union. And somehow it gives power, to say that YOU are a member of the International Union too. The Main address of the Union is at the TAM-address, P.O.Box 1055, 4801 BB - Breda - Netherlands. It is just the center for archiving all the things that are going on. But I am not in control of the Union. I just invented it. And to make it official, I made myself General-President of this Union. Sure was impressive when I travelled to the USSR in 1991 and went to visit some friends there who were also members of this Union........
Today online on Ning there are over 4800 members....
