Did anyone see this? Thoughts?

[Margaret Jeddry]

In Kolaj #42, “Bye Bye Mail Art” reflects on the global Mail Art movement and the fragile networks that have sustained it for decades. Rooted in the experimental spirit of Ray Johnson’s New York Correspondence School and Fluxus, Mail Art fostered low-cost, democratic exchanges across borders. The essay centers on Düsseldorf-based artist Sabine Remy, whose long-running participation illustrates both the richness of these networks and the growing challenges they face. Rising postage costs and postal privatization have made the practice increasingly difficult to maintain. For collage artists, the piece offers a timely meditation on connection, circulation, and the material realities shaping creative exchange today.

Perhaps it would be advantageous to consider what one will do once communication is extinct?

Good idea.  Can we keep IUOMA website going?

Rising postage costs... Oh, yes!

[Eduardo Cardoso]

Stamps are getting very expensive worldwide. I don't know how much longer I can invest in them. If I ever have to stop doing Mail Art, I don't know what I will do. It's part of my life. It changed my life.
