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.

    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.

    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

    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the standards are for posting on the general photo gallery, but I'm writing to ask that some of the current postings be withdrawn as inappropriate for this forum.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 I just feel that images that are not simply sexual, but grossly sexual be withdrawn or not posted in the first place.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

    Boa noite Ruud.

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

    Obrigada.

  • David Feingold

    Thank you for the welcome, Rudd!

  • David Feingold

    Thank you for letting me know about the change.  I think I did it properly this time.  Thanks also for your kind remark about my work! David

  • David Feingold

    Ruud, I tried it this time and the link worked for me.  Please let me know if you find it not working.

    Thanks!

    Hello Ruud, I am worried about Patricio if you know him. :( He has disappeared and not responded to messages for nearly two months time. Do you communicate with Patricio?

    http://iuoma-network.ning.com/profiles/profile/show?id=PatricioDupr...

  • 𝕊𝕙𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕚𝕖 𝕃𝕖𝕨𝕚𝕤

    Thank you, Ruud. That is a good idea. I sent him a private message tonight. If Patricio does not answer the new message, I will mail him a paper letter. ♥

  • Maria José Silva - Mizé

    Boa tarde Ruud:

    Podia dizer-me se recebeu a importância de dez euros, referente ao meu donativo e de Ana Garcia. 5 € cada uma. Fiz transferência por PayPal. 
    Eu penso que não consegui fazer todos os passos para receber.
    Por favor diga-me.

    Obrigada

  • Patrick Playter Hartigan

    Thank you for the greetings, Ruud. I joined under another email address a couple years ago then realized I had no ideas. haha! I have ideas now, though. I am tired of the argumentative nature (purpose) of writing and want simply to share images for a while. I expect to mail YOu something in the not too distant future. Cheers.

  • Miss Noma 2

    Hello Ruud! Thanks for the greeting. I'm glad to finally be here. I hope to write a book about Ray Johnson and the social relations of the New York Correspondence School. I saw your group about the history of mail art and it seems very relevant to my research. 

  • Patricio - The Celestial Scribe

    Ruud,

    I´m the curator of a mail art exibit which is part of the IX International Transpersonal Conference next september in Brazil. I was involved in another call and I thougt that by just publishing on "Events" the call would receive many contributions. Contrary to what I expected I received very few. The information about the call is already on "Events" but I want to succeed this time.  I started by sending invitation to newcomers because they are more connected and interested than olders.  Anything wrong with my line of thought?  Is there any problem if I´ll keep sending invitations on a one by one basis?  Patricio
