Publication IUOMA for November 2011

[Ruud Janssen]

There are already 5 books published about the IUOMA. In the new publication I need some serious texts that explain the current status of the Mail-Art network. If you are interested in writing about a specific subject or topic, let me know, and I will see if it fits in.  Texts can vary from 2 to 10 pages. Text: English.

[Ruud Janssen]

Suggestions for authors for the new book are welcome too.

Already many reactions from writers for the new publication. The deadline for submissions in November 1st 2011. Besides a text / article I also need a short Bio of the author which will be included in the book.

 

Subjects I am looking for / Authors searched who can write about this:

 

1. Which way is Mail-Art heading?

2. What is the position of IUOMA in the Mail-Art network?

3. The unwritten rules in Mail-Art

4. The global history of Mail-Art

5. Mail-Art and Art (taken)

6. Digital communication and Mail-Art (taken)

7. Article about a project run on the IUOMA @ NING platform (one is ready)

8. The connection of Mail-Art with Fluxus and DaDa (taken)

Just a rough idea of directions the book will be heading in.

Ruud would you be interested in specific projects -  the process and results of collaborative art practice using specific topics? A more reflective type writing?

[Ruud Janssen]

The results of a projects that was run on NING / IUOMA would also be a good article. I've been thinking of some projects (like yours) that would fit in perfectly.

[cheryl penn]

Ok - there are two types too I suppose - the collaboration organized by the individual - for example (talking about what I have tackled) The World is a Town project and then the type that is much more structured, closed and the processes of which are continually documented in a group. An interesting topic.  Ok - will think hard about this, and let you know this weekend.  You would want the article to preview of course?

[Ruud Janssen]

yes, a preview. Would love to see what you would come up with.

Looking for authors? I would do something for this.

[Ruud Janssen]

Would welcome a good article. What subject?

[De Villo Sloan]

I get to choose? Usually someone tells me. Let me think and see who else comes on board. Wonderful opportunity. Thank you.

[Ruud Janssen]

It is an IUOMA book. So the text has to fit in. I have several suggestions that are now open. When someone takes a theme, I will start to develop the structure of the book. I a special discussion the content will be formed and eventually the new authors have to fit in with themes and articles. Not the usual book, but a joined effort. When you choose a title and global content, please inform me to see if it fits.

[Ruud Janssen]

Published the request on Facebook to. When more details are available, I will make a special place for them so everybody can see the development.
