LISTS / MAIL ART CALL 2006 / 2007
"Our Police / Prevent Crime."
Once a year in the district of Wedding, in Berlin, Germany, artists
organize and hold a mailart (art associated with postage stamps, envelopes, postcards, etc.) exhibition. The Wedding district
is one of the poorest in Berlin. High unemployment and poor
average family incomes often make life difficult for our neighbors in Wedding. However, Wedding's citizens have begun
grassroots initiatives to build a safer, more caring community.
Crime Prevention is one of our main goals, and building
a good relationship between the residents of Wedding and our local police is another major goal. We want to show Wedding's
policemen and policewomen that we care about them, and that we appreciate their work. That is the reason we have organized
this year's mailart exhibition. Children will draw pictures, and artists from around the world will create and send
their works. We would be very pleased if artists from around the world would show their solidarity with the people and
police officers of Wedding. Here is our request:
Please send us your piece of mailart or anything else related to
your station's police work.
All entries will be on public display at Osterkirche (the Easter
Church) Samostrasse 4, 13353 Berlin,
Germany for three months starting on Saturday October 28, 2006.
Deadline for entries: Sunday October 15, 2006.
Documentation (in black and white)
of the exhibit will be sent to every police agency/participant which participates, with the theme: "Our Police / Prevent Crime."
All
received items will be given to "Polizeihistorische Sammlung Berlin" (Police Museum) after the exhibition has ended.

Deadline for 365 Openings... Mail Art Submission is
JULY 28, 2006
Museo {i}menos is launching a mail art call for its official inauguration on AUGUST 8th, 2006 from
the geographic center of the
Rio Grande Valley and the bordering Frontera Tamaulipas with its first opening entitled 365
Openings... In which artists from outside the Rio Grande Valley
and the Frontera Tamaulipas (this could be you) send their art in the mail in exchange for mail art from the Rio Grande Valley & the Frontera Tamaulipas.
The
swap takes place at the inauguration in which attendees from the RGV & the FRONT. TAMPS can take the work that very night!
This will be an art exhibit that truly belongs to the people. It is a globalization from below.
The goal of this exhibit
is to expose artists/residents of the RGV and the FRONT. TAMPS to mail art and create a mail art /culture network between
this area and the rest of the world for future collaboration.
As is the case with mail art no juries, no fees, no returns,
no social control!
DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATE
*Museo {i}menos *is a different kind of museum without
walls, formal attire or admission fees. We pop up wherever we can and even in some places that we can not. *Museo {i}menos*
is a work of art. We are an independent arts museum currently developing mail art and stencil art events, collections and
workshops (but many more independent arts exist and need to be included).
Our goal is to make art public and the only real
way to do that is to have the public produce its own art. It is only through active participation that art becomes truly public.

WATER: BLUE GOLD?
I SAW magazine invites you to send your interpretation (graphical,
poetry, etc.) on the theme. Weather and chemicals that balance the ecosystem of the planet and that all the beings which coexist
here, are comprised of a chain. We are interdependent and WATER is one of those elements which we all need to fulfill
our lives. Without potable water due to the overpopulation, we run the risk of being forced away. Exaggerated consumption,
waste and contamination are exhausting our natural resources. Today, these realities are certain, but it is not disclosed
to us that the administration of the natural resources - among them the water, is in the hands of the great multinational
companies that direct the destinies of the planet. Neither is it reported that daily they are extracting millions of liters
of deep potable water and dumping it into contaminated streams and rivers, clear cutting forests, and contributing to military
actions in some regions when it suits their interests. We need to stop the necessary elements for life from being transformed
into a BUSINESS. In Argentina, like in
many other countries of the world, the water no longer belongs to those who have inhabited this ground for centuries.
It has been bought by the multinationals. Argentine waters are not Argentine. Companies like Nestlé, Danone, Cocaine Tail,
among others, are taking care of the management of the potable water and the mineral water in all the planet, which, of course,
offers numerous gains them. We must demand access to the natural resources to assure our right to the life, shared in common
with the other living beings and species that populate the planet and with the future generations. The management of the water
must be placed in the hands of each one of us and if we work individually and collectively we will be able to build this utopia.

“…Keep the ball on the move…”
Stemming from a snippet of a Quote by Ray Johnson I have proposed to do a Mail Art Project,
sending Marbles across the world. I will roll each marble in a performance in Cardiff,
Wales UK. Then send the marbles out by mail to different participants. From here I want you to roll the marble and record
this action; photo, drawing or simply noted documentation of where the event of the roll happened. Then… Send the documentation
back to me and the marble with instructions and details of the journey onto someone else. You will receive documentation on
the marble’s journey. If interested in this Mail Art Project please email me your name and address. Thank you so much.
Really hope you join the roll!

Snailmail World Postcard
Art Show
The 3rd Annual Snail Mail World Postcard Art Show will run from August 25th to September 29th,
2006 at the Artway Gallery.
http://www.visualartsbrampton.com/snail/mail.htm
We want you to exhibit in our
Third Annual Snail Mail World Postcard Art Show.
The organizing group of this exhibit, Visual Arts Brampton (VAB), is
based out of Brampton, Ontario, Canada,
a suburb of Toronto. In the past, VAB has organized The Great
Canadian Mail Art Show, which became its in the mail..., exhibited at the Art Gallery of Peel.In its second year, this new
exhibition introduces a twist to the normal mail art concept, by limiting it to common postcard size.
Explore all kinds
of ideas when creating your entries. The best 1000+ works will go on display at Artway. Artway is in Brampton's leading shopping centre, Shoppers World Brampton. Original or reproduced, as long
as it's *exactly* 4x6 postcard sized, we'll include it in our gallery full of international works.
Entries may be in any
medium, and be of any topic matter, but may not offend the public, nor include nudity, nor overly religious images, nor violent,
nor racist content. No entry may include full frontal nudity (either gender), nor may it contain overly religious images
(such as a crucifixion) , nor may it contain what may deemed by members of the public as explicitly racist content. These
conditions are due to the fact that Visual Arts Brampton is a community art group, exhibiting in a high-traffic area of a
public mall. While Visual Arts Brampton Artway (organizers of the Snail Mail Show) and Shoppers World (host of the display
space) want artists to have full creative license, neither party wishes to offend the general public. While only the front
panel of the postcard will be judged, entries may also have illustration on the back. It is advisable that entries be submitted
on card stock, or another rigid surface. Entrants may be enter up to 20 entries. All entries will be judged independently
of each other, and not as a body or collection of works. Entries must be created by or from the entrant's original artwork.
However, works created by the entrant's direct ancestors do qualify, if the entrant's relationship to the artist is clearly
noted. Posthumous entries are "okay" under these circumstances. No entry will be returned. Works that do not meet the above
criteria will not be presented to the jurors. Entries may be send as postcards, or sent inside envelopes as long as they conform
to the 4x6 inch size.,All entries must either be received through the mail system, or hand delivered. ,Deadline: August 15, 2006. All mailing arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the submitting
entrant. Visual Arts Brampton will not accept any collect mailings. Visual Arts Brampton will not be responsible for any works
lost or damaged before, during, or after the show.
Accepted Works: The juror or jurors' decision is final.
No
entry may be withdrawn from the exhibit once it has been accepted.
The artist, by submission of entry, grants Visual Arts
Brampton and the media the right to photograph the accepted work for publicity, educational and reference purposes. Sequential
artworks will be accepted on individual merit, not overall.
On the back, include your full name, your return address,
including city and country, and postal/zip code. If you are in a country that has a provinces or states (eg Alberta
or Arkansas), we ask that you include this. Include on the
left half of the postcard:mthe name of your artwork the medium of your artwork; if the entry is a reproduction, note the work's
original medium. We also encourage that you include an artist's statement or description of the piece, to let us learn more
about you and your work. If you, the artist, have an e-mail or website that you want listed on the Snail Mail site, you may
also include this in the left section.
Questions? visualartsbrampton@gmail.com
The Top 16 will win awards, and Top
75 will be published in an online commemorative book.

Recollection From 1987 to 2007
A mail art call for artistamps to exhibit at the Museum of Fine
Arts in Budapest in April 2007, from the archivists at the Artistamp Museum of Artpool. Júlia and György Galántai present
"Recollection".. the retrieval of memory. It is not a passive process; people employ metacognitive strategies to make
the best use of their memory, and priming and other context can have a large effect on what is retrieved.
No judgment.
Submitted
materials, after having been displayed at the exhibition in the Museum
of Fine Arts and documented on the website, will be stored in the Artistamp
Museum of Artpool. http://telematic.artpool.hu/Artistamp/default.html

1. Project description THE BICYCLE February 28, 2007
It doesn't
pollute, it doesn't make any noise, it's harmless. It's never in the way, it uses renewable energy, it's healthy. It's the
most rational, economical and fastest vehicle for short and medium distance in the city. Most of our cities' future is based
on the daily and the public use of the bicycle. Riding a bicycle it's a choice that could be far-seeing: looking to new energy
scenarios, to the cities of tomorrow and to the way our future generations will move and breathe. We invite you to celebrate
the bicycle in order to promote a sustainable future.

"LAUGHING & SMILING FOR PEACE"
I got the idea at the festival when Pete
Spence labeled him and me as the "last 2 laughing agnostics". Laughter is a serious weapon of resistance in the hand of the
poor verses the powerful. I invented the stamp "smiling is the rebellion of the poor", so it's a topic that is already a long
time in my head. The emperor is naked when you make fun of him. Everybody knows that. Why do you think that the Dalai Lama
is always smiling and not the Chinese leaders in their red free market paradises build on the corpses of dead miners?
Free
size and medium as usual.
You can send me fun stuff, laughing or smiling self portraits and portraits, red nose communications
(thank you Zois & Lynn), group portraits of smiling buffoons for peace, clowns united for peace performances, tape me
your laughter and mail it to me so I can make a compilation and so on... The danger of laughter was the essence of Eco's In
the name of the rose. I'm sure that you'll find many connections yourself if you reflect on the issue.
Deadline is April Fools Day 2007... April, 1, 2007
Exhibition and documentation in the form of another blog.
Have
FUN, as much as you can, and those who take themselves too seriously: beware! because you'll be hit by flying pastries (a

THE FISH FRANTICHAM MAIL ART CALL
As only water separates us, the fish has
become our symbol of missing and longing, of desperation and hope, of love, desire and union. Frantic lives just meters away
from the Atlantic and stares day in, day out at the horizon of the ocean.. Antic-ham,
when walking along her river in Seoul can feel the wind coming
from the west, and hear the message of the fish. Soon both will become fish and unite in the waters. Already in early
religions, the fish was a symbol of desire, union and fecundity, as well as a symbol of the power of the female sexuality,
through a multitude of goddesses with fish symbols, or mermaids, nymphs and water spirits.

Cesare Pavese: the hills and the sun
Cesare Pavese Foundation organizes a MAIL ART PROJECT titled Cesare Pavese: the hills and the sun... Inspired by the famous Italian writer author
of “La luna e I falo”, “Il diavolo sulle colline”, “Paesi tuoi”, and many others. The
sunny hills of Langa always remained in his mind... they melded with his mystical and nostalgic childhood memories. He was
always attempting to isolate himself from others, to chase butterflies and birds, to explore the mysterious woods….
We are glad to inform you of the great success of this project
