Smiles & Smirks

Information

Art with a measure of humour is required by Walmarth Corporation for its chain of supermarkets, located in the Queendom of Retailia and in Cascadia Artpost. Through this collaboration Cascadia Artpost and Mail Art Martha are continuing to give impulse to Trashpo, the artistic vision of Diane Keys.

‘Walmarth Corporation is an entertaining and witty parody of corporate, consumer culture. Cascadia Artpost’s painstaking realization of Mail Art Martha’s ideas through detailed, special effects style models makes Walmarth Corporation one of the crowning achievements of Trashpo in the half-decade that it has been producing a large quantity of art.’

In addition to Trashpo the Corporation has now expanded to include political satire, parody, comics, caricature and witty playfulness.
Your contribution is needed to fill the shelves.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 23, 2023 at 6:50pm: In these times of concern for the disposal of rubbish we should consider recycling our unwanted stuff, here is a list of items we could sell easily through the Sell and Buy Department at Walmarth, recently organized by the well known firm A1 Waste Papers Co Ltd.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on July 20, 2023 at 6:55am: Franny Wahinehae invite us to have a Depinking, the novel treatment to enjoy exclusively at Walmarth! Thank you Franny for making fun of Barbie. Well done, I hate the anorexic doll. I prefer plump teddy bears, any colour but pink.

Comment by Fleur Helsingor on April 21, 2023 at 12:00am: This one is definitely a smile: a "Cat on Tablecloth" card from Mail Art Martha. It was accompanied by the "Marpril" issue, "Foldi22", and an Easter greeting note.

Don't worry, Martha, I received your mail in time for Easter. I'm just slow!

Comment by Michael Leigh on April 8, 2023 at 6:27am: Order this one as well Martha - the Fish Finger Glockenspiel !

Comment by Mail Art Martha on April 8, 2023 at 6:16am: Thank you Sabrina and, Michael, a new model of the Anti-Gravity Bidet is on order.

Comment by Sabrina S on April 5, 2023 at 4:53pm: Haha, I LOVE the dishwasher!

Comment by Michael Leigh on April 5, 2023 at 10:04am: I don't see the "Anti-Gravity Bidet" in your supplement? Hopefully it will return in the future months?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on April 5, 2023 at 9:57am: And here is The Clutch Supplement. Double click to enlarge, I think...
