Mail-Art Books

The famous book "The paper Snake" by Ray Johnson. Collectors Item. Something Else Press - Dick Higgins

The IUOMA-book - 20 years celebration is being mad. First text are coming in. Illustrations are added. Deadline is beginning July when I hope to publish it. When you have suggestion for texts and visuals to be included, please contact me.

The Mail-Art Statements Collection book is a quite rare book. Only 4 copies were printed so far. One I ordered myself. Three others bought the book (you are one of them Wilma). One even bought the colourversion of this book (he wanted the colour-reprints of the lecture and other things).

So I appreciate your possitive words Wilma. Not mant mail-artists seem to be inerested in historic facts.

soon it will be not so rare anymore since I plan on ordering sets to send to museums, libraries and archives. Yje MoMa in New York has also a lot from me in their archives.....

For our Fluxus Heidelberg Center two more publications are now in preparation. First test prints are ordered. When they are o.k. the information will be published here and on http://stores.lulu.com/fluxusheidelberg

There is already one interesting book, the performances Litsa & I did for the Fluxus Heidelberg Center. The colourversions is the best, but expensive. The B&W gives a good view of What Litsa & I did in several countries......

Yes, ordering more books makes the postage cheaper. last time I ordered 5 books and the postage was only 18 euro's. For one book they sometimes even charge more.

A beautiful book on Artistamps. Gift from Jim Swanson. Large full colour book with historic material. A treasure to see and go to.

Yes, you are right. It is good to have such frieds and to realize how generous they are. Things like this I never forget.

Thanks for the kind words Wilma!

There is a need for theory books on Mail-Art. Should we not just make them?

Hi Wilma,
A generous offer. If only mail-artists would be willing to write down their stories. For the 20 Year IUOMA I received 5 offers for texts. Only two got in till now. The others seem to be too busy.

Will people write down their stories?

Great Wilma,
I think you can write quite a story. I will include it in the 20 years of IUOMA book that will be coming out autumn of this year. Your story will be credited to you off course. Looking foreward to read it.
best wishes,
Ruud

Hello
They are Walter, do not speak English and write with the help of a translator, I like the idea of the book, where we write our own experiences and to whom we send?

glad to know that!

"von des mail art zur E mail" DIETER DANIELS in NEUE BILDENDE KUNST - oct 1994- is a very acute topic

glad to know that , yves ! ça doit etre interessant , mais introuvable ! tu devrais faire une copie !

There are several catalogues issued by the Central Museum of Communications from St.Petersburg. I shall be glad to demonstrate them to you.

The books from Central Museum od Communications from St. Petersburg are not in the collection of the TAM-Archive, so I would be happy to see them.

Every year since 2004 the museum prepares Christmas exhibitions so called "Mailartissimo". We also issue the catalogues to these exhibitions. And I didn’t find any images of our books in your professional group for books on Mail Art. This is not right. I shall try to improve the situation. I'll be happy to give some new information to your society.

The book printed for exhibition and meeting, 2009 June 6-7, Venezia, insideoutsideBiennale WORLD PAVILION.
pages 96, cover, euro 12.

Dear Ruud, if you like them, I shall provide forwarding copies to that TAM Archive.

That would be very much appreciated and make the archive collection completer

Thank you for your message. It is very nice that you are interested in our catalogues. Please, give me the mail address to forward. The other thing is that I can place some images from the book to the site of the group.
What do you think is it a good idea? Because I cannot send them to all members?

Le catalogue du INTERNATIONALES ANTI KRIEGMUSEUM 1930 Berlin a été réalisé par Ernst Friedrich par un Mailartcall . ( there is some document about this in my Openfluxus page photos . I collected some other experiment in 19th century mailart , one is related to my participation at Bismark Hallbritter blog

this exhibition?

A marvelous graphics! I like the poster's manner.

I have written about these grafics.

Mail received from Lyucinda - A.S. Popov Central Museum of Communication - Russia

The catalogue Mailartissimo dates from 2004. A wonderful catalogue printed in colour and includes texts in English and Russian. Lots of illustrations, addresses of the participants and historic statements about mail-art from several sources. ISBN 5-9900363-1-0 - 177 pages. To my surprise I find my own name on page 169. Thanks to Gik Juri three of my artistamps sheets were part of the exhibition.
The package with 9 books arrived in Breda. A donation for the TAM-Archive. I will scan the covers of the books and will publish them here as well for you to see.




Thanks for this wonderful addition to our collection!
Labels: A.S. Popov Central Museum of Communication, Konstantin Kalendaroff - Russia, Mail to Ruud Janssen, Netherlands, TAM-Archive

Yes, it was huge exhibition of artistamps there, half of exposition was in artistamps from my archive!

Dear Ruud,
I am very glad to know that you found the own works there. The question is that if you are one of the participants, you should have got this catalogue in 2004. Just after the exhibition we provided mailing them to all artists!?!

In 2005 I moved to Breda. So maybe the catalogue got lost? Glad to have it in the TAM-Archive now.
