Hi to you, oh weird crowd of deviants and freaks,

as in your guts burns this insatiable desire to create,

I give you an opportunity to share the fantasies that

your tortured souls struggled to produce. Next year

in a small country called Taiwan, I will organize an exhibition

of art ( painting, photos, collages, mail art, etc...) and I want

here to humbly ask you to participate by sending me the fruit of

your sweat. The topic is " a perfect world" any format is accepted

but, being not the owner of a truck, I beg you, not too big.

As soon as I will start to recieve some masterpieces, I will

scan them or take photos and post them on a Facebook page

( yet to create) with your name, any message you want to appear

and if you want, your address so people can contact you.


artistically yours,

Cyril


And for you my friends the address of my cave:

project " A perfect world"
Rm2, 4F, No1.
Gongde 1st St. PingTung City,
PingTung County 90067.
Taiwan

Hello I am seeking collaboration on the theme of "TAOPOLIS", dealing with Tokyo and Japan. If anyone wants to join me in exploring this please let me know. I require audio, video, stills, text, mail art, etc.

From Italy for Ryosuke's 70th birthday:

Write and ask for an Add 'n Return:

Hi

my name is Theresa and I study Editorial Design at Kunsthochschule Burg Giebichenstein. Currently I work on a Projekt called PLACES EN RELATION. I have been thinking about this subject for a while as I have been living in a lot of different places within the last years. Sometimes I moved because of work or studies, or because I was curious about a certain city and sometimes because I was discontent with the apartment situation. I wondered how other people in other places think about that topic: If they wander around as much as I do or if they have settled in one place for a certain reason and if so: how did they decide for that one place and what ties them there?

For that reason I want to start a mail art project and I would be happy if a lot of people from different places would get involved! Send me a postcard of the town you are living in and on the backside write down your thoughts on: why you decided to live there? / What ties you there? / Does it feel like home? / Can you imagine living there forever? Please send your postcard to the following address before 15/12/2017: Theresa Peter / Ludwig-Wucherer-Str. 1 / 06108 Halle / Germany 

All postcards will be shown in a publication/exhibition at the end of the semester. If you want to receive further information on that, let me know by writing your address on the postcard. I am looking forward to receive a lot of cards and of course I would be happy if you spread this message to your friends, so that even more people can participate in the project! 

Thank you so much for participating!

Theresa

About Canton Museum of Art

With a collection of over 1,200 pieces of fine art, including both works on paper and ceramics, the Canton Museum of Art would have no trouble filling its 10,000 square-feet of gallery space on its own. Founded as the Little Civic Art Gallery during the days of the Depression and the WPA, the museum has evolved into an impressive collection of American artworks from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. However, the curators aren't interested in keeping things static. They dedicate portions of their museum to national touring exhibits, local artists, and community events. The museum also hosts the School of Art which features more than 20 studio art classes for students of all ages, scheduling sessions three times a year.

Mail-Art Opportunity - Hotel Drawings 

Are you an artist, curator or creative practitioner who travels—either for your work, or for pleasure? Or do you make work about travel, transience, stationary or the ephemeral?

Inspired loosely by the nomadic German artist Martin Kippenberger’s ‘Hotel Drawings’, 20-21 Visual arts Centre in Scunthorpe UK is seeking artwork on (real or imaginary/imagined) mono-graphed hotel note paper, or small works on paper, that use Kippenberger's drawings and the artist's transient lifestyle as inspiration or point of departure.

The work can be as detailed or ephemeral as you choose; notes, doodles, sketches - they can relate to a place you have stayed, your reason for being there, your practice, or quite frankly whatever you choose.
We anticipate works being unframed and on paper, sized A4 or smaller. A maximum of three works can be submitted per artist.

 
We aim to include everything that is submitted, however anything deemed offensive, unsuitable for our visitors, or straying too far from the brief may not be included.

 
This is a mail-art style project and there is no fee available for appearing in this exhibition - however we will aim to return all artworks to the artists after the close of the exhibition if a return address is provided.

Exhibition dates: 13 January to 24 March 2018. Full documentation will be posted online.

Deadline 9 January 2018.

All work should be mailed to Dominic Mason, 20-21 Visual Arts Centre, Church Square, Scunthorpe, United Kingdom DN15 6TB to arrive before 9 January 2018—and include any relevant information (artist name, return address, title etc).

Do you want to participate in CHECKPOINT?

Send to my address 3 equal original works in A4, standard paper of 80g /m2.
Theme: your poetics.

Deadline: The Birthday of Art 2018, January 17th.

Leave 2 cm free on the left side for binding.

Technique: handmade.

To all collage addicted artists!

I would like to work with you together on this new project. I have over 400 bookmarks with the heads of poets,narrators and writers on it.

I would like to send each interested artists 3 different pieces:

All three finished pieces of artwork are then supposed to be posted into this facebook group and I would also like you to send them back to me. I will send one of our collaborations back to you after I documented each collage.

International Mail Art Open Call

BORDERS AND NON-LIMITS

            Let us together think about what limits us, what does not limit us and the limits that can be crossed. Let us together think about immigration, about the wars that bind us, about the wars that drive us out. Let's think about territoriality, about the delimitations of the space in which we live, about the distances. Let's reflect on who we are, not just Eastern or Western, we are human.

Because for mail art no distance is so great.

Theme: Borders and Non-limits

Dimensions: Free
