This week I've gotten mail from Luis Filipe Gomes, Carien Van Hest, Vikki Johnson, and Ana Kawajiri. I've had little time to scan things recently but I will throw up from photos soon enough :)

Thanks for this Ilya, 

I've become a little obsessive with documentation. Not just with mail art but everything that I create/find. It's probably a good idea to let go of that, a little bit at least.

Hi Fraya.

I understand you very well, I too have found it difficult at times to photograph everything I received. Can I give you some advice? It would make sense to give up the practice altogether. It's enough to keep everything you receive by mail in your heart and that's enough.

This is no longer a problem for me, as mail from the US and Canada is no longer delivered to Moscow, and I receive almost nothing (although I do send something by post).

Let's think, how did mail-art begin? Back then, there was no internet, there was no blogging, no one was taking pictures of anything, but mail-art existed perfectly well.

This IUOMA platform on NING has no advertisings, so the funding is completely depending on donations.
