    thanks karen! I need to take pics and post them I just haven't gotten around to it did you have a good christmas? What got you started in mail art?
  • Samantha Bragg

    Yeah, I'm not sure what I'll be doing for new years yet but we'll see! I actually found out about mail art by total accident- I was at borders in the art section and saw a book called good mail day.. all about mail art and It got me turned on to it and I've been reading on it ever since.. I'm wondering how do I get plugged in to mail art workshops though like you did?
  • Samantha Bragg

    Oh! So your familiar with it then? I wasn't sure if too many people knew about it.. It's really cool I'm glad I came across it because there's so much you can do with mail art! I just got my first pieces yesterday and they're amazing! Did you have a good new years? I ended up falling asleep!

    LIMITE, SCAMBIO, SEGNO
    LIMIT, EXCHANGE, SIGN
    A tribute for the city of Portogruaro through a project involving art through mail. The keywords chosen as the theme are the motif of its foundation, joined in a common flow.

    Limit
    border between earth and water,
    the river harbor and the trade routes,
    the channels and the gardens of the palaces,
    a constant reference to a change in system, material and colour.

    Exchange
    not only of goods but also of colours and scents,
    artistic and architectural influences,
    mutual knowledge, therefore culture.

    Sign
    a condition of consent expressed in gesture, the conclusion of an agreement,
    a trace superimposed on many others:
    whose meaning is beyond the sum of the parts.

    Project by Rizoo Group, Tiziana Baracchi and Pro Loco di Portogruaro
    Format and dimension of work:
    square of maximum size 21 X 21 cm
    No e-mail

    No returns, no jury, no fee, no sales

    Exhibition in Portogruaro, 2010
    documentation online: www.rizoo.altervista.org
    info: daliobaracchi@hotmail.com – aurogentile@tiscali.it

    Deadline to be received March 31, 2010
