Fluxus IUOMA celebration pizza footprint by Moan Lisa (Iowa City, Iowa, USA)

[De Villo Sloan]

Mail-art by IUOMA member Moan Lisa (Iowa City, Iowa, USA)

Documentation of our extensive Moan Lisa Collection continues at MinXus USA. We are thrilled to share with you this recent acquisition, which we find exciting for several reasons. First, this is an authentic Moan Lisa footprint, the chronicle, no doubt, of a Moan Lisa action art performance. The occasion of this performance appears to the the 25th anniversary of the International Union of Mail Artists (IUOMA) created and established by Ruud Janssen (Netherlands).

We are becoming increasingly familiar with Moan Lisa’s complex, fluid and sometimes cryptic forms of expression. We venture to interpret this piece, with some certainty, as a very positive contribution to the ongoing IUOMA celebration.  The reverse side is also very interesting:

Moan Lisa is a visual poet and currently generating an epic cycle of lyric poems. The work shown here relies far more on found material than many other current pieces. Indeed, we also think this work qualifies as Moan Lisa Trashpo.

It is a great thrill indeed to have this unique work by Moan Lisa!

Hi Helder, thank you for posting your footprint art. Congratulations on the exhibition!

I think these footprints are very good, especially as they capture a performance as you create the art. Marie Wintzer in Japan sent me her footprint too:

Thank you again, Helder. Maybe I will receive one of your prints.
