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?

NO Jury, NO Selection, NO Returns and NO Entry Fees are the few basic rules all Mail Art shows/projects/exhibits have in their participation Calls.  Even when some shows stretch them to a deadline or to a particular format, the basics is never changed and it has been this way since decades.

I now ask myself why in IUOMA's Mail Art Projects blog is allowed a proliferation of Calls that use the Mail Art word but have nothing to do with it, as they request Entry Fees, have Jury, do Selection and give Awards, creating confusion for new Mail Artists and deforming the nature of Mail Art.

IUOMA, as International Union of Mail Artists, plays an important part in promoting the right information, specially its projects blog, that is reference to a huge audience.

please, don't post nor promote Calls that mislead the concept of Mail Art unless their rules are changed. give a chance to educate ignorance and eliminate slyness. 

I understand the costs involved in some projects where there is documentation sent out that can produce a request for money, but it should be as donation and kept free not as a rule for entry.

This is probably really obvious and I just don't see it...but how do you flip a photo once you downloaded it?

I say mine: Mail Art, can not, should not remain firm, since it was born from Fluxus, so first of all we try not to fossilize. In my small way I avoid using collages, artistamps, etc. and I try to create a Mail Art-process art, and performative ... and I also try to use the web without separating it from Mail Art ... I would like it to be an evolution of M.A. but do not abandon shipments! rather I send several times a week ... and I bring the atmosphere M.A. in my performances, which at the moment are few. a hug . b
