Mail from Gilles Le Corre - France

Because the ZIPCODE was not complete the first envelope was returned to Gilles. The second attempt succeeded. Without the zipcode the letter should have arrived as well. Some postal workers aren't that friendly it seems.

Outgoing Mail

Yes, as you can see I've been quite busy this weekend. painted a lot of envelopes and they all go out this weekend. It was about time that some people got an answer. I know al people that send me mail expect an answer somehow, but I get in too much to keep up with answering the mail. It isn't that nice, I know, but there are only that few hours in each day.

Box from Luis Filipe Gomes - Portugal

This is the box that Luis Filipe Gomes from Portugal sent me. Inside it several items including a box with content and a special designed tile on top of it.

Luis Filipe Gomes included this booklet explaining the concept of the box. The tile in the box is a funny one. It deals with all the artforms and than places the new forms and Fluxus as last.

Thanks for this wonderful surprise Luis! It is very much appreciated.

In his booklet where he explains why he wants to give me this precious box he ends with a statement:

"Mail Art is not what you receive. But what you intent to do from that. Mail Art is not what you've send, but the emotion you create in the people you've tried to reach."

very well said!

Mail to Roland Halbritter arrived - Germany

On: http://socks-stockings.blogspot.com/2009/06/arriving-mail-art-from-ruud-janssen.html I read that Roland Halbritter received my mail-art. The last weeks I have been sending these colourful papers inside the mail. He arranges them into a little flame. Probably they are set up to be burned in honour of his new project. We will see what happens....

Mail to Roland Halbritter - Germany

Will this envelope have the risk of being burned? Roland is doing a funny project where he is burning the mail-art he is getting in and returns the ashes sealed in plastic.

Mail to Torma Cauli - Hungary

This envelope has a title that refers to the FACEBOOK environment where a lot of mail-artists these days are gathering. Sometimes they forget to send out the regular mail-art, or even worse: they don't have time for doing that because they sit behind the screen all day. That is why I am sending out some of my acrylic painted envelopes again.....
