Looking for Canadian mail artists
Posted by Fraya McDougall on August 13, 2022 at 7:40pm 0 Comments 0 Favorites
Hey y'all,
I am hoping to connect with more Canadian mail artists, as I have many Canadian stamps that I would love to use up. If you know of any, send me their name/deets.
Handwritten notes
Posted by Fraya McDougall on August 13, 2022 at 7:30pm 6 Comments 2 Favorites
I've been collecting notes that I find around the house, on the street, at work etc. Any kind of ephemeral note: grocery lists, notes to self, journal entries, equations, scribbles. Basically, anything that was made in a fleeting moment, then forgotten.
I'm hoping to eventually make a project out of this, haven't figured out what it will be yet.
If anyone has this sort of thing, I would appreciate it if you sent it my way. snail mail or digital.

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 thousands of members. On December 2nd 2018 the 5000th member joined in.
