Jon was a very active IUOMA member, now he's a little quiet. But I guess the beginning of the year stuff gets everyone on the trot. This FAB tape transfer card of the Alexandrian Crowd - its SO going into the book Jon, so you DID contribute :-)
OF COURSE there's later - thats one of the wonderful gifts of…

Mail Art Received Second Week of February
With great elation I received Susanna’s beautifully crafted Letter Q contribution to Project 26 – a mythological artifact. It even carries the fragrance of a mythological order of Flutterby. Susanna is a fellow Alternate Realitarian I can see.
Negotiating a borderless reality, Planet Susannia is a place of special, exotic … ContinueAdded by cheryl penn on February 14, 2011 at 3:08pm — 4 Comments
Mail art from Iona Bennie, Cape Town
Iona Bennie in Cape Town, a fantastic artist in her own right sent me this contribution to The World is a Town Project. Made of recycled novel paper and what could be telephone book paper/newspaper , words lie within the frail skin surface. Layering of many, many words, a recontextualisation of that which has already been written. Is that not the essence of a hyper-palimpsest?

Mail Art from Eduardo Cardoso (Paranormal Mail Art)
Received second week February 2011.
An Ardent Zalopist, Eduardo made the FIRST ZALOP video in the whole world! Imagine that? He sent me a ZALOP trading card from a Duel Masters game – ok, I’m wading in the dark here??
AND another ANOMALY. People being wheeled through the sky pursued by flying tanks…

Mail Art received second week of February 2011.
Pieces of my dismantled book The World is a Town have been sent into many corners of the globe. Sometimes I despair at receiving answers. But then, a piece like this one from Skybridge Studio's arrives and the world is rose colored again :-)…

Mail Art Received first week of February 2011.
I have seen Satu’s vispo posted at IUOMA and thought that she concentrated mainly on digital mediums. These pieces I have received are a visual and tactile delight.
Satu has used extant text (a hint at altered book practice) - rewriting the world that is already written. Imposing a more subtle form of meaning on a…

Mail Art Received Last Week of January 2011.
How fantastic to place a codex sticker for The World is a Town project on Indonesia. And it came in my favorite format - a boekie. A small book made of beautiful paper - do you know that one of the tests of good paper is the sound it makes? This paper has a wonderful timbre.
Within the stamped paper folds are tiny…

Its a heart wrenching sight let me tell you. When I wake on a strange Monday morning in deletist Thought Police mode, all my books scramble for cover. They KNEW, just KNEW today was the day. Selected for recycling and make over is Bones of Contention.
This book was over 10 months in the making believe it or not. It began life as a treatise on bones used to support…

Mail Art received third week of January 2011
I ‘met’ Lindsay through Project 26 – an excellent place to be :-) She posted me my first zine – exciting! It is made from a book recently bought from a second hand store. The Book was called Charlie Farquharsons Korn Allmynack Lindsay writes further - “obviously in satire, most words are spelled incorrectly. One section, Madame Farquharsons Dream Alfabit” was perfect. Yes, another sort of 26 project - the cover says its all – speshully…

Mail Art Received today 21 January 2011
I had to blog this, because its just a fantastic. I quoted from the Love Song of Prufrock earlier this week. I have to do it again when confronted with Alfonso’s work :
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
T S Eliot
“I have seen them riding seaward on the waves
Combing the white hair…

Mail Art received now now.
You all know what Val's envelopes look like - right? Most of us at one or another time have had the pleasure of receiving his square missives - to be opened or not.
BUT!!!! I dont think any ONE of them has had a package like this. Except mine.…

Mail Art Books
Just in case some of you were wondering what happened to your art once it reached the bottom of the world, here is the latest mail art book I have compiled with mail from all over the world. It was begun in July last year. Titled 19th July 2010 – 31 December 2010 it holds many of the mail art pieces I have received during that period which are of similar size. If the artwork was A6 size and the envelope bigger, the envelope was cut to fit. Other than…

Mail Art Received second week January 2011.
Judith has contributed three beautiful photo montages for The World is a Town project. As many of you know, The Novgorod Codex, dating back to the 11th century resulted in an artist’s book The World is a Town which has slowly been fragmented into the world. The writer so long ago laments his own personal position - a surprisingly postmodern global village lament. All the contributions I receive will form Volume 2 of…

Mail Art received 13th January 2010
You know, I dont know how she does it! That Jen ACTUALLY gets her envelopes to my door! In real life, here, these excellents would NEVER make it. So I'm guessing she has some sort of enveloped control?
Jens distinctive, well made, thoughtful work is always a real pleasure to receive. 1913. That was long ago. That was First…

This is the first mail art I have received from Lancilotto Bellini - of Recycling Art fame. How glad I am it is for the World is a Town project.
May I just quote you some words by T.S. Elliot?
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a…

Mail Art received first week January 2011.
So here's the thing. You DONT want to meet a chrysalis like this. But, whats the point of a pupa? To change - to move from one form to another. In Julian's World Town I'm guessing that people could be born in Pupa's :-) And, living in Africa means I get an immediate connection to masks. This takes me to Picasso's 1906/07 period too, where he was influenced by African masks and Iberian sculpture. Julian is America, and Picasso was Spanish…
