I am involved in mail art because of a mixture of causes.
Primarily I on this way can realise my dream of "freedom in love" participating pragmatically in the world affairs as creative human being by using the special artistic strategy of mail art.
I am a mail artist as mail artists express their cognitions, i.e. their feelings as well as their thoughts, communicating and interacting with each other forming altogether reality as Eternal Network.
I learned that mail artists are trustworthy creative partners and equals in the exemplary worldwide open durable self-organizing discourse of mail art commonly participating in each other and with that in the construction of reality by cognitions and communication.
Thus a holistic peaceful democratic community of a special kind comes into being, a cosmopolitan neighbourhood arises, a peace structure which contributes by a growing efficiency of the interacting spheres of mail art and the other spheres of culture leading to an enrichment of nature and thus altogether to a stabilization of the human technical world order standing at the abyss today.
beloved HEMI, I WANTED COMUNICARTI THAT FINALLY the PLAN WE COLOR L' HOSPITAL LEAVES AGAIN AND HAS FOUND THE FINANCINGS, HAS SUFFERED A LOT BUT THERE ARE RIUSCIO. I MODERNIZE AS SOON AS I HAVE NEWS, TO YOU I EMBRACE YOU WITH AFFETO MAIN BELOVED!

Ciao HeMi, it's great to find you here too. I think you'll have fun, and it's not as difficult as it may seem. You can take the word of a computer semi-illiterate. Electronically Yours...
Receive my biggest Mail Art PRIVET from Russia! I invite you to participate in my "ROAD TO LIFE / DER WEG INS LEBEN" project and to visit http://www.kyrlya.blogspot.com.
HeMi I have found the camera on top of this window, I knew it had to be staring at me in the face. So I have added a picture , I think.
Let me know if it gets to you.
How are you my dear Henning...! I am in Spain. I realized a conference in the Institute Cervantes of Madrid and now I am in Santiago de Compostela offering a Seminaire on Experimental Poetry. After I will go to Greece for a performance event in fall May.
Fraternal greetings, the best for you and your family,
Thanks for your support and the super picture, yes at our age methinks we should cultivate a Zen attitude, and simplify our life. I don't seem to be very successful but keep trying.

How are you mydear friend...! Do you remember Essen when we knew us...! I was working with Boris Nieslony at the2nd. Biennial of Tesaloniki, Greece. The best for you and your projects...Fraternal greetings,
Can I quote you on mail art in my upcoming mail art zine for the show Chromatophore?? You so elegantly wrote about mail art. Would love a piece from you also. Think about it... but not too long because the show is in August!
Hi well the mail art show accepts any artwork. THe theme is Chromatophore which is a cell that changes colors--like in the octopus, chameleon, cuttlefish, squid, and even some bacteria cells. I just wanted to quote what you in your portion, "Why I am involved in mail art" above. It would be nice to include it in my program/zine for the show. I would like an image of yours to include also. You could send me a piece of mail art for the show or email me something for the program/zine. Or both. My email is weeklyhoot@gmail.com and the address is Jennifer Zoellner, 665 Jasmine Way South, Saint Petersburg, FL 33705 USA. Thank you.
Dear Henning,
it is wonderful to see your extraordinary drawings! I like them very much!
I am glad you receive my Wire Memoranda with pleasure and you collect them. Thanks very much. We hope Angela and you return soon in Italy. All the best and happy summer!

Antoni Tàpies (born in Barcelona, December 13, 1923) is a Spanish Catalan painter. He is one of the famous artists of European abstract expressionism. After studying law for 3 years, he devoted himself from 1943 onwards only to his painting. He is perhaps the best-known Catalan artist to emerge in the period since the Second World War.
In 1950 he held his first solo exhibition, at Galeries Laietanes, Barcelona. In the early 50s he lived in Paris, to where he has often returned. Both in Europe and beyond, the highly influential French critic and curator Michel Tapié (no relation, despite the similar name) enthusiastically promoted the work of Antoni Tàpies.
In 1948, Tàpies helped co-found the first Post-War Movement in Spain known as Dau-al-Set which was connected to the Surrealist and Dadaist Movements. The main leader and founder of Dau-al-Set was the poet Joan Brossa. The movement also had a publication of the same name, Dau-al-Set. Tàpies started as a surrealist painter, his early works were influenced by Paul Klee and Joan Miró; but soon become an abstract expressionist, working in a style known as "Arte Povera", in which non artistic materials are incorporated into the paintings. In 1953 he began working in mixed media; this is considered his most original contribution to art. One of the first to create serious art in this way, he added clay and marble dust to his paint and used waste paper, string, and rags (Grey and Green Painting, Tate Gallery, London, 1957).
His international reputation was well established by the end of the 50s. From the late 50's to early 60's, Tàpies worked with Enrique Tábara, Antonio Saura, Manolo Millares and many other Spanish Informalist artists. From about 1970 (influenced by Pop art) he began incorporating more substantial objects into his paintings, such as parts of furniture. Tàpies's ideas have had worldwide influence on art, especially in the realms paintings, sculpture, etchings and lithography. Examples of his work are found in numerous major international collections.
My Experience with Art (an uncensored autobiography by an unknown art-lover) by Rafique Sulayman coming soon...
From Bangladesh art to Minden, from Malaysia to Thessaloniki...everything and you are there. Greetings to you and Mme. Angela. Ciao...
Thanks Henning ji and Angela ji. This is all about my art journey of 18 long years as curator, critic, reporter and networking. 'My Experience with Art' came from the autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi's 'My Experience with Truth'. And I took a subtitle : an uncensored autobiography of an unknown art lover. It means I am still in a learning process. You at the age of 72, me at the age of 41. we are all still learning the chiaroscuro of life (art).
