Smiles & Smirks

Information

Art with a measure of humour is required by Walmarth Corporation for its chain of supermarkets, located in the Queendom of Retailia and in Cascadia Artpost. Through this collaboration Cascadia Artpost and Mail Art Martha are continuing to give impulse to Trashpo, the artistic vision of Diane Keys.

‘Walmarth Corporation is an entertaining and witty parody of corporate, consumer culture. Cascadia Artpost’s painstaking realization of Mail Art Martha’s ideas through detailed, special effects style models makes Walmarth Corporation one of the crowning achievements of Trashpo in the half-decade that it has been producing a large quantity of art.’

In addition to Trashpo the Corporation has now expanded to include political satire, parody, comics, caricature and witty playfulness.
Your contribution is needed to fill the shelves.

Comment by DKeys on March 7, 2022 at 12:38pm: That is what they are called? So perfect ! but no, they are not mine but are at a local organic farm. Elgin lets people have chickens and bees. During the stay at home era, lots of people got chickens.

So was snow in the artillogical forecast?Because it snowed today which means it is a good day to make art or snow angels?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 7, 2022 at 11:23am: Sabrina, sorry, but a smile in your face is worth a hundred breakfasts spilled. As Catfusious said.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 7, 2022 at 10:18am: Alan!That would be better, you must have read my Marthafesto!

Comment by Alan Brignull on March 7, 2022 at 9:55am: How about 'Art-illogical' then, Martha?

Comment by Sabrina S on March 7, 2022 at 9:46am: Almost spilled my breakfast on the table, Martha. Haha!

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 7, 2022 at 6:13am: Saddlebacks! are they yours Diana? in Chicago? I had not seen any for a long time, to tell the truth i have not seen any real pigs for ages, human ones yes, all in positions of power.

Alan, I gladly go along with the dates but I think the word Arti is pejorative, I propose Art instead, therefore Artlogical, but I cannot decide. Too much brain effort.

Hmmm... I rather like Artilogical, it has a singsongie rythm.

Comment by DKeys on March 6, 2022 at 1:44pm: Happy Art Spring then! When I see my flowers poking through the hard frozen ground and snow I celebrate. Chicago winters are no fun at all. Now we are in the big thaw so maybe mud pie making with the piglets is in order.

Comment by Alan Brignull on March 6, 2022 at 11:18am: Meteorological spring begins on 1st March only in the northern hemisphere. Since mailart is worldwide, I propose Artillogical Spring begins halfway between March and September, i.e. 1st June.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 6, 2022 at 6:50am: Meteorological spring was on March 1st, I am told. Anybody can suggest a suitable date for artlogical spring?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on March 6, 2022 at 6:47am: Thank you Diane! And happy meteorological Spring to you!

I do not know what that means but it arrived here accompanied by rain. March 21 is the one to which I am used.

I googled it, none the wiser. Actually more confused as there is also astrological Spring. May be also artlogical?
