Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I like communication, art, paper, painting and concepts. The ideal combination for doing Mail-Art. Worked with rubberstamps as a child and started sending out letters as soon as I could write. Discovered that it was called mail-art in 1980. Have been discovering ever since and in the last years also promoting this free cultural exchange.

    hey Ruud, recently I did a search on Robin Crozier and saw the Memo(random)/memo(ry) listed here, I don't know if I gave you details about that project? Feel free to copy and paste this into that group. I had visited Jean Brown's archive and she suggested to Robin to do something around the Random name of mine and that project is what he came up with, he used my name better than I ever have. Robin would mail out a filled form with each new blank inquiry, but along the way he would write down each sheet into a small black notebook and when full would mail them to Jean. If you go to the Getty Research center and type in Robin's name you'll see them listed as 'mail art notebooks'. Keep bugging me, I think I scanned in the ones I have and could add them to this group.

    Dag Ruud,

    Kan al een tijdje geen foto's meer opladen, geeft steeds o bytes, terwijl ik nog wel foto's kan posten op de groepen. Is er een technisch probleem of heb ik limiet bereikt van oplaadmogelijkheden?

    Probeer nog steeds te begrijpen dat ik 60 ben geworden, mijn vader stierf na zijn zestigste, zal daar wel iets mee te maken hebben.

    Groet aan Litsa 2

    Dag Ruud,

    Heb 2 nieuwe fotoalbums aangemaakt (mail art received en mail art sent since April 2014) en hier kan ik wel terug foto's posten want niet langer mogelijk via mijn foto's, dus probleem opgelost via een omwegske.

    Yes, I did get in touch with Ed eventually. That was about 6 or 8 years ago and I did get in touch with him although I am not sure which of the many methods I use actually got to him!

  • Heleen de Vaan

    Well, it was a pleasure to send, that stamp belongs to you :-)

    Glad to see it arrived safe and sound. Thank you for showing the picture of the envelope; I love the addition by the Mail Company: the wave-like cancellation stamps.

    Ruud, all three envelopes have arrived and what fun I've had looking through all the NOT BORING mail. I will blog it all soonish, but wanted you to know that it arrived and how much I appreciate it all. And I DID get a letter and it is very haptic. 

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Kalimera Ruud,

    Can ning please check why it appears that the "messages" are blocked?

    I am unable to send to "friend" a private message.

  • Drew Kinninmont

    Thank you, Ruud.

  • borderlinegrafix

    Thank you for the mail art, Ruud.  New IUOMA rubber is nice!  Love the artwork too.

  • Steven Bryan Bieler

    Dear Ruud: I'm new here so I don't know how to do anything yet. Would you like me to write to you through the mail about Rudi, or should we talk here on the IUOMA?

    Jack (Rudi) was my dear friend. I owe him a lot. His death has left a hole in my life that I am still trying to fill.

    Regards, SBB

  • Celestino Neto

  • Rebecca Guyver

    Hi Ruud, I'm organising another mail art event and hope you will be able to share the details with your network! 

  • Linda French

    Dear Ruud,

    I don't know what the standards are for posting on the general photo gallery, but I'm writing to ask that some of the current postings be withdrawn as inappropriate for this forum. I don't even really know how to ask for what I would like to have done. I just feel that images that are not simply sexual, but grossly sexual be withdrawn or not posted in the first place. I don't believe I have the right to say to another what he/she may create as art, but as a member of IUOMA, I want to feel proud of what is presented here.

    There are other subjects that may be called inappropriate, but at this time, current images are what concerns me.   --Linda French

  • Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)

    Kalispera!

    Thanks ...looks like we are ok with images

  • Terry Reid

    Ruud,

    Yes, it is interesting to stumble across our pasts in something like Niels Lomholt's online archive......cannot think of any other museum that is getting archival material up there where it can be seen.  In my experience, I can get a name and a title, but no visual.  What about your experience?

  • Terry Reid

    Of course, IUoMA on-line overcomes this shortcoming of museums.

  • Ka van Haasteren

    Ha Ruud,

    Dankjewel voor het boek!

    Er is post naar je onderweg.

    Groetjes,

    Ka

  • Steve Random

    Dear Ruud,
    Nice to look through Robin Crozier's "Memo(Random)/Memo(ry)". I have to get off my lazy ass and send you the ones I have. That project was a request of Jean Brown's to Robin, it was at the timme I ws visiting her often and she mentioned my name (Random) and Robin turned it into a project, I was not smart enough at the time to create such a witty and fantastic piece, just like Robin to have done such a mailart masterpiece.

    Bonjour Ruud!

    Thinking about what you said yesterday about IUOMA on Farcebook (did you delete that comment? I can't seem to find it), perhaps you could tell me -- and other people to who might not be on Facebook and/or even aware of the existence of IUOMA Farcebook --

    IN WHAT WAYS IS IUOMA FARCEBOOK DIFFERENT FROM THIS VERSION OF IUOMA?

    In other words, what, if anything, are we missing there that is not here?

    Regards, Val

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Thanks Ruud. But perhaps you could tell me in a sentence or two (no more) what is the difference between this and Farcebook IUOMA. I'd appreciate your views in these couple of sentences (especially as I'm not going to follow up 4 links)? Thank you in advance. Val

  • Maria José Silva - Mizé

    Por favor dizia qual a importância mínima que se deve doar para IUOMA?.

    Obrigada.
