My Website (without http://):

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
Mail-Art is a most amazing way to democratize art, activism, subversion, and networks.
As a cultural anthropologist working with postcards in times of upheaval, mail-art immediately caught my eye. It's fun, it's serious, it's punk, it's mundane, it's a beautifully open network, it's the misfit child of the bourgeois art scene.

Hello Florian Abgrund,

I'm sorry I didn't see your call for mail art changing the world until a few days ago. (I use this site https://mailart.pt/ to find mail art calls and such & didn't see it there.)

If you're interested in mail art exchange I will add your PO Box to my list.

Several years ago I wrote "Misreading Mail Art" as part of my MA art history thesis at SUNY Purchase - http://www.spareroom.org/mailart/mis_intro.html

best, mattf

Postal forecast: A rant on mailart is closing in on Berlin from the West.

Expectations are that it will reach the area in several days ;p

P.s. Since you are interested in postcards in times of political upheaval, maybe you will like these https://www.vredesmuseum.nl/winkel/wens.php This is the website of the Dutch Friedensmuseum (as you would call it in german), the cards are all related to protests for peace, nuclear disarmament etc. They range from cards from the eighties up to 2024 and you can order some of them if you like, or just look at them offcourse...

Hi!

Like you, I do not show my address on this site, but I tell people my address in a private message instead to exchange mail art. Are you comfortable with it in a private message? If yes, please let me know your address, so I can send you my works soon :-)
