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standards are for posting on the general photo gallery, but I'm writing to ask that some of the current postings be withdrawn as inappropriate for this forum.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 I just feel that images that are not simply sexual, but grossly sexual be withdrawn or not posted in the first place.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

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?
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
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?
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. ♥
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.
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.
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.
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
