Call for Mail Art: Architectures of Harmony (Wa) at to programme

September 16, 2027 at 1pm to September 30, 2027 at 1pm
The Manifesto > "Still Life, Architecture of Harmony" > We invite artists, visual poets, creatives, and dreamers from all over the world to reflect on the concept of Wa (和) — harmony born from the coexistence of differences — through the form and spirit of still life, understood not as a memento of transience, but as an ideal micro-society. > Objects on the surface do not compete: they cooperate. The empty space gives breath to forms. Diversity becomes structure. Together, let us build…See More

Mr Gayer, You don't know me but I have a piece o' Mail Art ready to go to you if you will kindly send me your address. I need it ASAP as I am going off-island tomorrow---and off-island is the only time I can mail things.  My trips off are few and far between. The piece may not be to your liking---but it is something. Thanks. Cheers
