Mail from Mark Bloch - USA

Mail from Mark Bloch. He sends the lovely envelope to both Ruud Janssen and Litsa Spathi. In the artworld we work mostly in seperate fields and different productions. Only in Fluxus Heidelberg we have our art-collaboration. We treasure our independence in art. We produce quite different things and have our own lines. So who should answer an envelope like this? Does he expect two letters? We both can't just write one single letter since we would not react the same to a mailing like this......

Mail from Amo Mao - Shanghai - China

There was a nice surprise in the P.O. Box this new year. A card from Shanghai - China. Seems my mail-art project "where are the Chinese Mail-Artists" is succesful. I am now in contact with a few already and with a first mail-art project in China, there is a new change ahead!

Happy new 2011!

Happy new year to you all! With most outgoing mail-art this year I will include a IUOMA membership Card 2011. Surely they will become collectors items one of these days.


Can't send out mail to everybody out there (there are now 1427 registered IUOMA-members!), so the best I can do is make the original design available for all of you. A D.I.Y union can ask from it's members to print their own membership card?
