No fee, no jury, no returns.

Any postal object, any technique.

Well Mark, this really is absurd. On IUOMA you ask to mail absurd mail art to Po Box 2372 while on the documentation site you ask to mail absurd mail art to Po Box 2373. Ah, this is more than great, this is absurd!

My bad I'll fix that. The real number is 2373. Thank you.
Wow I really must have been tired or something. P.O. Box 2373 Spring Valley, CA 91977.
Sorry for the mix up.
"Absurd" seems very subjective to me. How would you define it??
I was trying to use a broad topic for my first art mail call. I will have some examples up later today. I wanted to see what people subjectively thought was absurd. So far I have received 6 pieces and all of them are definitely absurd to me but expressed in ways that I never would have anticipated. So whatever you find to be absurd is A-OK.
Thanks,
Mark
Right on. Cool. Got some more stuff I need to scan and post. Soon.
This is ABSURD! Mark...
why was my mail art returned?
Address is correct, no?
It has taken 6 weeks to get back to me...
shall I try again?

Maybe they don't understand the European "7"? sigh.....
Maybe they don't like me at the post office. That's definitely the right address. Maybe they're afraid of the "weird stuff" I get in the mail. Ignorant bastards.
The fact that it was returned is "absurd".
Accept that this happening was part of mail art karma.
Ya gotta love the mail art karma! Kismet! Greek Fates!
Now I shall "absurdly" send it to you again....
with American "7"s! Let's see how absurdly long it will
take to arrive :-)
Thanks. I'll be waiting. Maybe put my name on it.
