    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:

    1st one : starter by me for you to finish

    2nd one: solo collage from you

    3rd one: starter collage from you for me to finish

    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.

    If I manage to find a sponsor, I further want to document our collaboration by compiling a book containing all the pictures.

    In case you’re interested just contact me and I’ll send you three different pieces. Since I can provide plenty of material for interested artists, feel free to spread the word and encourage others to participate.

    I’m looking forward to working with you (again) on this new project!

    You’re all amazing artists! K.G.B.

    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

    Technique: Free

    Deadline for posting: 03/31/2018

    No jury, no selection, no return.

    What comes into your head when you think about Denmark – Hamlet & Elsinor Castle? The stories of Hans Christian Anderson? Danish blue cheese? Lego bricks (there are about 62 for every person in the world!)? The Tivoili Gardens in the centre of Copenhagen? The Little Mermaid statue? Carlsberg beer? Danish bacon?

    We all have different images of the country, and we would like you to send us an Envelope with your visions of Denmark on it.

    Envelopes can be any size, but should be no bigger than A5 -- 2.3 x x 1.6.cms/8.3 x 5.8 inches.
    The front of each Envelope should include your view of what 'Denmark is....', for example a painting, drawing, collage, etc.
    On the back of the Envelope please include your name, contact details and any other information that you think might be relevant.
    Only the front of the Envelopes will be displayed in the Exhibition (so there is no need to put anything inside your Envelope).

    Please send your Envelopes to:

    Tureby alle 29a
    2650 Hvidovre
    Denmark
