Collage by Pier Roberto Bassi with Mail-Art Call (Castel Mella, Brescia, Italy)

Mail-art by IUOMA member Pier Roberto Bassi (Castel Mella, Brescia, Italy)

August 1, 2014 - Pier Roberto Bassi is a very active mail-artist (and an IUOMA member) associated with Fluxus. He sent me this great post-card size work.

I like the stamps very much on this work, especially Fluxus-Brescia and the red asemics. When tape was removed, the card opened to a larger page announcing a mail-art call:

“From Zero to Infinity” seems like a very intriguing call. You might want to consider participating, especially those interested in the Fluxus network and becoming part of it. The page includes samples of work already received from well-known vispo and mail-art luminaries, highlighted below:

I see fine examples of work by Lancillotto Bellini (Italy); Dmitry Babenko (Russia); John M. Bennett (USA); and Claudio Romeo (Italy) – all faves! Here is a link to one of Pier Roberto Bassi’s blogs:

Many thanks for the mail-art!
