Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I love Mail Art and am inovlved with it and in it as it is the Eternal and Ephemeral Network simultaneously--in Mail Art is a Freedom a person may have no where else in this world--freedom from fees, freedom from judegements, freedom of expression. Mail Art celebrates communication and giving freely and being open to receive communications and to celebrate being alive among and along with other living beings--to give Thanks--to critique injustice, inequality, inhumanity--and to make messages, objects, images, sounds freely--unattached to any ownerships and controls. Mail Art is without saying it is, without planning "authoritatively" to be--it is with humility a way of changing life--in this world with other lives--
Peace, david-bc

    POEMAS DE FRANJA DE GAZA

    Juro que la tierra será ciertamente completa para aquél o aquélla que
    sean completos;
    la tierra permanece mellada y quebrada tan sólo para aquél o aquélla
    que permanezcan mellados y quebrados.



    WALT WHITMAN
    Abro los sueños con un brindis
    Un trago corto para una sonrisa influyente
    Con su potente veneno
    Como primera criatura subterránea

    La amabilidad nos hace mudar
    Hasta los ruidosos sonidos noctámbulos
    Y repeler los ataques

    Un camino que nos obliga a cambiar de estrategia
    A sufrir en nuestros pezones
    La relación que nos daña
    Y nos convierte en adultero de un dios pagano
    II
    El regreso- Ideas de poder y riquezas
    Finas lanzas miran al cielo
    Al toque de trompetas de ángeles
    Caen como lluvia de pétalos
    Como el maná de almas caritativas
    Como los saludos victoriosos del sacerdote
    Que muestra sus anillos

    SEÑOR DEL PAIS SAGRADO

    Le besaran la mano al paso
    Y lo construirán piedra sobre piedra
    Como su único profeta.

    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

    Hello David, thanks for linking as friends. I've come across your name before but it has been my negligence and subsequent loss that I didn't look into your work. What I've seen through this site is just amazing. I look forward to following what you're doing.

    Yes, that's a picture of Jack Spicer in my profile. I've just finished reading everything I could find he'd written - someone else I knew about and neglected for too long - and have been very impressed. Funny about Bachelard: one of the first essays I wrote was about a poet influenced heavily by Poetics of Space. I'll revisit Bachelard. You have ideas as well as art - look forward to learning. - De Villo

    Hello,
    I stumbled in on your page through helen aymes'. The mention of Lebanon and Gaza caught my attention as both locations hold a place in my heart. Are the photos of your work above part of the wall series that you mentioned?

    pois toca com perfeição o instrumento musical.

    Tema: Mago
    Técnica: Livre
    Tamanho: A4 ( no máximo)
    Inicio do Projeto: 2010
