Convidamos voces para participarem do nosso Projeto de
Arte Postal
Mago ou Magi, plural da palavra Persa antiga magus,
significando tanto imagem quanto "um homem sábio",
que vêm do verbo cuja raiz é "meh", significando grande, e em sânscrito,
“maha". Mago usualmente denota aquele que pratica a magia ou ocultismo;
no entanto, pode indicar também alguém que possui conhecimentos e habilidades
superiores como, por exemplo, quando se diz que um músico é um "mago dos teclados",
pois toca com perfeição o instrumento musical.

Tema: Mago
Técnica: Livre
Tamanho: A4 ( no máximo)
Inicio do Projeto: 2010

thanks for your friendship!

The list is arranged alphabetically & it seems that everyone whose last initial began with P (partial list) to Z  in the USA list was inadvertently omitted. FYI: I'm one of the omitted. I'm sure anyone who was omitted would appreciate an erratum page or other 'fix'. Thanks!

John---the magnificent catalog for the Gutai exhibition arrived. Unfortunately some of the USA contributors to the Mail Art response were mistakenly omitted. My thanks to you and your team for an otherwise flawless production.

Thanks for the mail; click any of this for the post. mailed you long ago but once more recently... have fun

I enjoy watching your progress becoming the historian of note.

John, 

Congratulations on the wonderful exhibition at SFAI! I was delighted to be included. I spent time several weeks ago perusing the mail and was overwhelmed with the number of entries, large and small. Thanks for all your effort (and that of your collaborators) for a classy installation. I look forward to receiving the the documentation.

PS: I posted a photo of the exhibition on the IUOMA's Shozo Shimamoto page.

Gutai documentation arrived in Thessaloniki, Greece, John.

Thank you...and you are always welcome to come by for a visit!
