Recycling Mail Art

Eu também adoro fazer isso; etiquetas de roupas são lindas, não dá pra jogar fora, então, reaproveito, faço arte postal com ela, dando-lhe uma nova face e função. Estou elaborando um minilivro de artista com essas etiquetas...são o máximo mesmo...

I like to recycle with the purpose to make mail art. For example I recycle museum tickets (archived museum work alas I cannot get :-) ), train tickets, pictures on cardboard packaging, etcetera.

It's an excellent way to get rid of unusable ephemera which are too beautiful to throw away into a paper-recycling-bin.

 

But to recycle my received mail art, ay!... That's hard!

And I think I can't, at this moment. Because I consider each received original self-made work of mail art as a Treasure, and treasures should be Treasured.

The only exceptions are 'add -and-return' pieces of mail art, or for example original pictures sent to me for pimp-my-photo projects (although I must confess I still have two nice photos at home waiting to be pimped for already over a year...)

 

But in fact I think recycling Mail Art is one of the characteristics of Mail Art!

So I have to withdraw from my hesitation and start to cut and paste...

 

(PS for all people having difficulty reading other languages: google.translate and babelfish might help! - they provide in different translations, so that's fun, too!)

Olá...estou feliz em participar do grupo. Adoro reciclar, reutilizar, transformar...isso tudo. Há tempos faço isso, e agora trabalho com reciclagem na Arte Postal. Vamos trocar ideias? Abraços a todas e todos.

what is the criteria to recycle or not?

There is so much to recycle, but sometimes you want to hold on to things....

Gran trabajo por delante Samuel!!! Muy interesante para explorar y documentar. Este sitio es un excelente espacio... lástima que la mayor parte está en inglés

Hola

Debido a los traductores no comprendo bien su pregunta, pero igualmente me permito contarle que estoy tratando de generar un registro importante de los artistas invisibles del correo postal - comunicacion a distancia - de ahi que intento registrar los detalles utilizados por los artecorreistas, como ser sellos, estampillas etc.

El ultimo libro de mi querida Graciela Gutierrez Marx y las charla mantenidas con ella me dan una idea de como continuar el camino.

Cuento sin duda, con la ventaja de este sitio IUOMA, para agilizar y difundir lo que intercambio con otros artistas ya no tan invisibles del arte correo.

 

Saludos

Samuel.
