    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

    Convidamos voces para participarem do nosso Projeto de
    Arte Postal
    Mago ou Magi, plural da palavra Persa antiga magus,

    “maha". Mago usualmente denota aquele que pratica a magia ou ocultismo;
    no entanto, pode indicar também alguém que possui conhecimentos e habilidades
    superiores como, por exemplo, quando se diz que um músico é um "mago dos teclados",
    pois toca com perfeição o instrumento musical.

    Tema: Mago
    Técnica: Livre
    Tamanho: A4 ( no máximo)
    Inicio do Projeto: 2010
    Término do Projeto: 3 / 11 / 2013

    OMG Jim, you're the 101st person on my IUOMA "friends" list.* I've tried very hard to keep it at 100 or below, but I couldn't say no to you and there's nobody on that list that I want to nix [today] . . . I've 86'd a few folks over the years because that's the way I roll, no correspondence [never, ever] coming in and, well, there they go. Maybe more so on Facebook than here. But still . . .

    Is that bad of me? No, don't answer that question, I prefer to remain blissful in my ignorance.

    *Although, my [personal] mail-out list is huge; of which you've been on for a long while . . . and I constantly send out to random people [not on my mail-out list]. It's just that there's so many mailartists out there [thousands!], this solitary-soul just can't keep up with them all . . . I mean, I have to stop and eat sometime . . . okay then, chin up and feet forward.

    Onward and upward . . . be seeing you in the mail.

    k.
