description
Please Mail To Home is a digital exhibition portraying the theme of “Recovering A Sense Of Place.” This theme can describe a reconnection with a physical location, a space within oneself, a passion or a community.
After completing my Master’s degree in Curation (and wrote about Mail Art for my thesis) I moved to the UK to join the corporate world and now, after two years, I am returning home to Ireland. I was inspired by the sense of rediscovery I have felt during this process. While it is as much about reconnecting with the familiar feeling of home, it is also about reconciling with oneself, as during those two years I connected little with Mail Art or the arts in general. And so here too I am “recovering a sense of place” within my passion and within the community.
I would like to invite other artists to submit work exploring this theme and encourage them to rediscover a connection to something through the making process that perhaps they had lost or felt distant from. In this way, the process of creating the work helps tell the story of the final creation, as the culmination point of this journey.
extra
All featured artists will receive proof of participation as well as a printed postcard by Irish illustrator @ratlaz designed to the theme of the exhibition. These will be numbered, signed and include a thank-you message.

description
One of the Toninhos: a slave who heard the ox speak. The other Toninho: an architect who entered politics.
Both, a synthesis of the room that celebrates the freedom of art that moves, screams, acts, that does not disintegrate into gray, but with blood opens a path that reverberates. The room of Toninhos, is a space to receive mail art, paying tribute to all the Toninhos of yesterday and today who follow their dreams.

open call Cultural exchange between BRAZIL and ITALY
description
What do you think cultural exchange is? How can you visually represent the influences between Italy and Brazil? What exchanges are evident in each culture? What dialogues have been created between the two countries? How do you perceive the influences of Italian immigration in Brazil and the massification of Brazilian culture around the world? The manifestations of art, children's games and play, words, expressions and memories are cultural tools that influence us as individuals. How can this knowledge affect your personal, professional or love life, or your curiosity to travel?
The curator of this call is Italian-Brazilian, with studies and practices that represent a fragmented society. With past experience in the artistic languages of mosaic and photography, Cris is interested in the role of art as an impact on communities and as a tool for cultural exchange. Her practices include public programs for communities and artistic mediation. Cris proposes this call with the aim of exemplifying the general perceptions of people in her independent Intercultural Education research.
These works can be used to contribute to studies and exhibitions about relations between the two countries, as well as to illustrate theses and articles.

open call Nº13
description
I once stepped into the elevator of a thirty-floor building, which had no 13th floor button. Seeing the order jump from 12 to 14, I thought, “This is weird!” Had some designer or engineer made an outrageous mistake? Noticing more cases—on airplanes, for instance—I discovered the practice is widespread. But for one who’s had a good relationship with 13 right from birth, this makes no sense.
N°13 is not just synonymous with bad luck. It symbolizes many things. Some even enjoy playing with the number’s reputation by taking a tongue-in-cheek approach. Take Finland’s National Accident Day, for instance, which promotes safety on the roads, at work and in the home. Its annual day of celebration is always Friday the 13th.
What’s your take on N°13?
extra
The paradox embodied in this tale is that the ‘dangerous’ number hadn’t disappeared. Its digits had merely been reversed to identify the highest story. Imagine, this thirty-floor building had a 31st floor.

Utsanga.it is an online magazine about liminal analysis. The term “utsanga” is a Sanskrit word that meaning “womb, embrace”. The magazine was founded by Francesco Aprile and Cristiano Caggiula in 2014 and can count on an international editorial team: Bartolomé Ferrando, Nico Vassilakis, Volodymyr Bilyk, Wellington Amancio Silva, Egidio Marullo.
Immediately, Aprile and Caggiula have configured Utsanga not only as magazine, but as research and production center and archive about experimental poetry: visual, sound and concrete poetry, asemic writing, glitch art, video, performance, mail art, code poetry, electronic literature and so on.
As archive, Utsanga has an important collection based on the visual and concrete poetry, and also on asemic writing and glitch art and writing. Some of the most important authors in visual poetry and asemic writing from Seventies to today are part of the archive.
As production center, Utsanga proposed the first asemic writing exhibition in Italy and many more exhibitions.

open call POETRY IS RESISTANCE
description
In the scenario of the dystopian landscapes of our contemporary society, thinking of poetry no longer as a simple aesthetic exercise, but as a critical and political tool implies approaching the experimental in a situated and contextual dimension. In this sense, the POSVERSO Biennial is conceived as an appeal to those artists who show a desire to distance themselves from pure formal variations, to venture, on the contrary, to achieve a poetics that enhances critical signs, and that enables reading conditions that dialogue with reality.
Mail art has a long tradition of political positioning and resistance.
What can mail art and experimental poetry contribute today to the path of resistance? What are the media and discourses that are deployed to influence the convulsed world we inhabit? To what aspects of our reality is this resistance directed? For Deleuze to think is to resist, and thought is a set of forces that resists death. In our contemporary world, death has multiple faces: forced migrations, wars, poverty, hunger, climate change, inequality of the capitalist system, propagation and rise of far-right political forces. What can poetry do in the face of all this?

Henri Rousseau is a French painter who lived between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He was highly appreciated by his contemporary colleagues and often mistreated by the critics of his time. This is a VERY FREE TECHNIQUE.
I invite you to interact with this great modern author, still loved above all by artists, who deserves to be re-evaluated by all art lovers.
Look for one of his works, the one you like best, or that inspires you the most and CREATE your own tribute to the author. You can reinterpret it, cross it, overturn it, play with it, do whatever you want with it. It will be your tribute to Henri Rousseau.

Cultural exchange between BRAZIL and ITALY
submission address Cris Piloto Via Passo Campalto, 61
| CAP 30173
| Venezia
| Italia
description
What do you think cultural exchange is? How can you visually represent the influences between Italy and Brazil? What exchanges are evident in each culture? What dialogues have been created between the two countries? How do you perceive the influences of Italian immigration in Brazil and the massification of Brazilian culture around the world? The manifestations of art, children's games and play, words, expressions and memories are cultural tools that influence us as individuals. How can this knowledge affect your personal, professional or love life, or your curiosity to travel?
The curator of this call is Italian-Brazilian, with studies and practices that represent a fragmented society. With past experience in the artistic languages of mosaic and photography, Cris is interested in the role of art as an impact on communities and as a tool for cultural exchange. Her practices include public programs for communities and artistic mediation. Cris proposes this call with the aim of exemplifying the general perceptions of people in her independent Intercultural Education research.
These works can be used to contribute to studies and exhibitions about relations between the two countries, as well as to illustrate theses and articles.

description
We live in a rather broken world, characterized by environmental destruction and pollution, climatic catastrophes and war conflicts, not to mention the personal and work-related problems that many people have to deal with. We are asking: Where do you get the strength to go through life upright despite all this? What brings you joy, what creates hope and confidence, what puts a smile on your face, what brightens your heart? Whether it is friends or family, art or music, religion or philosophy, sports or meditation, whether it is the smile of your neighbor or the chirping of birds in the morning – whatever makes you strong and powerful, let us know!
We want to focus on the positive and empowering aspects of life, as we need them to survive in this world. We are curious and looking forward to receiving your answer!

The idea of the project : is the popularization of Nicolaus Copernicus's works. It's aimed that each participant of the project is to reflect on the multi-layered background of his work, and how it has been and is being read by the world of science, philosophy, and art. The project's authors believe that 2023 has been a very surprising year that we also celebrate the 550th anniversary of Nicolaus Copernicus's birthday.

Fingerprints identify us, distinguish us, reveal us while describing our trail, our path, our wanderings... It seems vital and necessary to pass through this world leaving a positive residue, an essence of our own, an emotional perfume, a particular way of being. Go through this world LEAVING A MARK. Fingerprints, handprints, footprints, heart prints, soul prints... The poet Antonio Machado speaks to us about the unmarked footprints and paths, about the open and shared footprints of our lives, in his remarkable poem: “Walker, they are your footprints / the path and nothing else; / walker, there is no path, the path is made by walking". Let's follow in his footsteps, from ours.

description
Our goal is to create a multimedia letter network across European borders. We invite artists and storytellers whose work can be framed by a mailable envelope to communicate with each other through analog letter writing. Together, we want to explore what can letter writing mean in the context of digitalization? How can we create cross-cultural narratives about the European space across its borders? And what value can individual experiences have in understanding larger societal contexts? The exchanged stories will be collected and curated, resulting in a publication.
What do we mean by “letter”? The letter should entertain some sort of connection with the societal context, the environment where you are composing it. Though not journalistic, it should be either reactionary or documentarist in its scope. What is changing or staying the same, being destroyed or built, forgotten or urgent, invisible or ubiquitous, terrible or sublime? How does this relate to you particularly? An intimate or personal point of view is encouraged as long as it connects to the exterior world. It can be addressed to the (un- known) person you will be paired up with, but this is up to you. Any mailable media that fits within mailbox posting standards (max size 380 x 265 x 32mm*) is welcome and encouraged - writing, photography, drawings, sculptures, etc. Though the network is aimed at visual makers there are no prerequisite criteria for participating.
extra
Between all the letters we receive, we will make pairs. By February 13th, 2023, you will have received the letter from your partner and yours will be forwarded to them. You will have 3 weeks to reply to this letter and the person you have been paired with will reply to your previous letter within this time frame. After you received that answer, you will again have 3 weeks to reply (until April 10th, 2023). You and your conversation partner will exchange a total of 6 letters in 3 rounds of replies, likely developing two parallel streams of conversation. (note: in order to make the publication possible you will send all your letters to one of our post offices, not to your conversation partner directly. Your address and personal details will be kept private.)
From April 2023 onward the collected material will be curated into a crowdfunded publication. We will be in touch with you throughout the process. Please include your email in the first letter.
info theletternetwork@hotmail.com
info instagram.com/letternetwork
medium We offer up to €25 for covering the material costs of your letters.
The revenue from selling the final publication will be split between all participants. And of course, you’ll get to keep 3 original artworks that have been addressed to you :-) If you feel unsure or want to ask us anything you can contact us.

Obviously, it will not be an intervention for contemplation.
Articulating diverse artistic supports: photography, video, texts, audio, object, engraving, painting, sculpture, textiles, and installations.
Through the opening of public calls and individual production.
A project carried out by many, where I become a bridge, to be able to heal, from the most powerful weapon we have, which is to create.

open call Who are we? Transcendental self-portraits
description
The theme reflects current issues about imposed beauty standards and the actual aging characteristics of our bodies.
We live in a time when concern for appearance is pushing people to extreme limits, especially leveraged by social media. The obsession with selfies with the use of filters and manipulation of images is transforming people into narcissists, causing very negative emotional attitudes towards the way they see themselves.
While this overvaluation of physical appearance is at the top of priorities, the inner self is being set aside. Recognizing yourself is a process of self-knowledge, which raises healthy self-esteem. As well, recognizing ourselves in the other allows us to relate in society with more otherness.
When reviewing the advertising video Portraits of Real Beauty of a famous cosmetics industry aired ten years ago, just before the invasion of selfies, it is evident how essential it is to reinforce the acceptance of our own bodies and our inevitable aging. But for that, we need to really know each other.
So we challenge you to reflect on the questions "Who are we? Who am I?" and send us your work.

The woman’s right to abortion in the United States became Federal law on January 22, 1973 through the Supreme Court Case, Roe v. Wade. Individual states could no longer have their own laws that would contradict the provisions of this Supreme Court decision. But the passage of Roe v. Wade did not put the issue of abortion rights to rest. Recent cases under review in the United States Supreme Court may change or overturn abortion rights in many States. There are widespread disagreements among United States politicians, media, and citizens about abortion. I would like to receive your personal point of view about this complex and difficult topic.
To participate, please write on the front of your card (the side with the picture) your belief on either right to life (against legalized abortion) or right to choose (legalized abortion). It can be a few words, one sentence, or a paragraph. You do not have to be an artist to participate. It can be in English or any country's language. The purpose of this exhibition is to share beliefs, opinions and experiences on all sides of this issue. Cards will be exhibited together, without prejudice, on a large cape worn by a life-size mannequin. I hope that you will share your thoughtful, heart-felt beliefs, whatever they may be, on this complex and important subject. Please share this call for postcards with your friends and organizations.

Traditionally, we hold these exhibitions every year in order to adopt a postmodernist approach to art, to create intercultural communication and art awareness.
It is possible to call today's art and culture "postmodern". A new approach to contemporary art and artistic understandings are thematic topics expected in our exhibition. Our exhibition has no technical and material limitations. However, in the context of the subject, some limitations have been introduced as it is open to viewers from all age groups. You can find details about our event on our official website (www.mailartexhibition.org), We look forward to your participation. See you...

- What does technology mean to you? And what role does it play in your day?
- How do you connect with others? What does that look like?
- What do you love about your environment?

For almost two centuries the train was much more than a means of transport traveling between books, music, pictures, films, and utopias. It was the industrial revolution that put the train on the tracks.
The steam engine and the need to transport more and more cargo and people took the creation of the first train in 1825. In Portugal, the train would arrive thirty years later with the connection between Lisbon and Carregado.
The train is also an important element of the culture of the industrial world, even appearing as a centerpiece in the futuristic manifesto published in 1909. The locomotive is the symbol of the path to the future.
In literature, we can find the train on the pages of Georges Simenon, Agatha Christie, or Eça de Queiroz, among others. In the music of Zeca Afonso, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, or Bob Dylan you can also hear the rhythms of the train.
The train is also a centerpiece in many films, so much so that one of the first films shown by the Lumière brothers showed the arrival of one of them at a station. They are proof that the train can travel far beyond it's rails ...
Now i want the train enter in MailArt

description
Quinta da Cruz - Centro de Arte Contemporânea is located at Viseu – Portugal, and was created as a dynamic center for art, culture, and identity. It is a cultural space oriented towards the exhibition of contemporary art, to the development of artistic practices, and is perceived as an engine of local artistic promotion. Intended for public enjoyment, culture, and leisure, it is integrated into a wide green space of excellence and remarkable biodiversity.
The Mail Art project promotes the democratic participation of artistic practices, through the reactivation of an expression that had its peak, in an alternative way to the conventional means of art exhibitions, in the 60s / 70s. Annually, an international open call is created and an exhibition is held with the received artwork.
It furthermore legitimates, that artistic production is a preponderant expression for the creation of dialogue spaces, places of "rupture", reinvention and boldness. Through this call, the transformative, inclusive and participatory role of art is implicit. The route of these works is interpreted and intervened throughout this postal journey. More than an annual call, this project claims a model of collaborative work with the goal of constituting and giving visibility to collections of this nature.
In 2021, VISEU values natural attributes and the relationship with the “environment”. The IV OPEN CALL is directed to the theme VISEU Garden - City.
We launch an invitation to artists and to everyone else interested in Mail Art to send their artwork and join in the IV Edition of this open call. Only artwork received by traditional snail mail will be displayed. We hope to receive drawings, collages, stamps, visual poetry, among others, at Quinta da Cruz - Contemporary Art Center of Viseu.
• Only one side of the artwork will be displayed.
• Artwork considered obscene or offensive will be excluded.
• All artwork, even those received after the deadline, will integrate the Quinta da Cruz Museum collection and may be exhibited at future Mail Art events.
• Artwork received after the submission deadline will not be part of the current open call.
• All artists are kindly requested to provide, by email or traditional snail mail, the following information for means of public display: artist > profile picture | name | brief bio | email address | website | address // artwork > title | media details | brief text
• All received content will also be displayed online at the digital platform www.quintadacruz.yzonk.com.
• During the exhibition, we will promote workshops entitled "Give and Receive" where artistic objects inspired by the received artwork will be created, with the purpose of being randomly offered to the public that visits this exhibition and / or sent to participating artists.
• Artists who do not wish to disclose private information, such as name or postal address, should not include them in their correspondence.
• If sending from abroad we advise you to add the words "SEM VALOR COMERCIAL" to avoid customs delay.
• No return | No jury | Free technique

Wolf-Rehfeldt is known for her typewritings, which she produced with a typewriter.
By mail, she sent print-engraved copies of these works, some collaged and overdrawn, to friends.
and acquaintances all over the world. This mail art gave her the possibility of free artistic creation and
communication on an international level. The idea of an artistic exchange, conceived during the Cold War,
across borders of all kinds is experiencing a new edition in Altenburg. The basic motif of her work was intellectual and social freedom, the meaning of which must be redefined in view of new challenges in the 21st century.

A MAIL ART call for work in postcard format, being held on the same day and in the same space as a Vintage Postcard Show and Sale. One goal is to make some connections between the collectors and vendors and modern-day mail art. We expect to have lots of interesting meetings between two very different groups of postcard fans.
The venue is a beautiful, historic church hall in central Philadelphia. The postcard sale will be on the floor of the hall; we will display the mail art up on the stage area. If you include your mailing address on your work, we will add it to a wall poster with mailing addresses of all participating mail artists.
Many postcard shows put the work submitted into archives. We approve of this practice, but for this show, we will do something different, more in the nature of how postcards and mail art as a pop practice.
In the weeks following the show, we will visit Philadelphia’s many good bookstores and carefully place the works inside art books. In this manner, the cards will be seen by a new audience, selected by fate.

Artwork will not be sold. It will be secretly be placed inside art books inside the book stores of Philadelphia.

... I love the oppressed, I hate the oppressive kingdom ..." These are some of the words that appear in one of the texts of the rapper Pablo Hasel, arrested in Lleida on February 16, 2021 with the accusation of apology of terrorism and insults to the Crown. At the end of August, Hasel will be in prison for 6 months. From the day of his arrest, demonstrations followed one another with massive attendance in the main cities of the Spanish state. In these demonstrations, which lasted more than 10 consecutive days, the relationship between photographers, protesters and the police was strained. Arrests, repressive acts of the police on the demonstrators. On the first day of the rallies, even a girl lost an eye due to the use of rubber bullets by the police. Still under investigation. While the position between oppressed / protesters and police/ oppressors is clear, what is the position of the photographers? At the moment when the Hasel debate is a debate on freedom of expression, how far do we have to be neutral with respect to our labor standards, and how? It is no mystery that the mass media are a perverse tool of political propaganda: for this reason, we want to promote emerging, independent and alternative photography, where we can debate, create a new narrative, generate spaces to tell this stories with freedom, supporting the cause Pablo Hasel without censorship and through our works. With freedom of expression in all its forms.

Caught in a second confinement that plunges us more and more into isolation and face to face with societal dysfunctions we invite you to take part into a mail art project: “Words against system headaches / Words for new utopias”.
Indeed words are not innocent. Words are not neutral, they are socially situated and criticism of their use, of their meaning should be part of the political struggle.
This mail art proposal is part of the CEPAG’s campaign “Social struggles pass also through words” which looks into the misuse of words, their impact on the surrounding culture, and their political evolution.
Economic, political, class, gender, age, ethnic origin… Words and their use participate in the reproduction of bonds of subordination and in the social positioning of the speaker.
This mail art proposal is the opportunity to give free rein to your imagination, to re-appropriate words, and give them their meaning back.
Speaking out through mail art to denounce the system’s headaches.
Speaking through mail art to affirm new utopias, new imaginations, new cultural and political identities.

Hi all, I’m a Fine Art student looking for anybody interested in helping me with an assignment on Mail Art, we’ve been given the task of creating an online project so I’ve decided to exchange art with people around the world and exhibit it on an Instagram feed.
There is no briefing on what can be sent, if anything I would encourage people to send me things they enjoy making (as we all have our preferred ways of working). I will of course return the favour by sending something back. Please do let me know If you would be interested. I am relatively new to the concept of mail art so this is an exciting opportunity for me! (Anything late will still be added as well, I will also accept emailed work).

description
DAW SUU (... the Lady, so at her country, is called Aung San Suu Kyi) was arrested with all the deputies and militants of her party, the National League for Democracy. The soldiers waited for the dawn of the opening ceremony of the new Parliament in the capital Naypyidaw to take the Lady - Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 and Foreign Minister of Myanmar - whose strategy ("ahimsa"), inspired by the doctrine of non violence of Mahatma Gandhi, was mocked by the generals who, with this coup, have openly shown to the whole world the fragility of the dream pursued by Aung San Suu Kyi to reach reconciliation with her persecutors. The military has once again thrown off the mask of "false democracy" with which for years they have deceived millions of Burmans and the entire international community.
In this period, marked by the "recession of democracies", this violent frontal attack by the military to the transition to a state subject to the rule of law has absolutely to be condemned by all possible means.
In the motivation for the Nobel Peace Prize which was awarded to the Lady, it was written: "an example of the power of those who have no power".
… for a free and democratic Burma.

Printing techniques were never far apart from the art world as some might think. Woodcut, typography, silkscreen, lithograph, stencil, rubber stamps, 3D printing, digital printing, ... are a short list of various means of reproduction within our reach that are also explored for their artistic expression. Although some of these media may have arisen purely for the sake of reproduction and others with marketing intentions ... others had arise with a purely artistic vision. However, none of these techniques, sooner or later, escaped artists who use them for creating multiples or for their material expressiveness.
It is therefore with this call and with this question in mind that we invite you to question multiples in artistic creation and printing techniques as expression, either through artworks or written statements.
On our previous curated mailart and artbymail open call and exhibition entitled "Hate Mail? for ya Fat F#uck", we've dealt with similar content as we've shown Claudio Parentela's artwork in the form of digital prints of his own digital collages... in a way raising the question: if physical prints of artwork meant to prevail only among the digital world may or not be considered art? We've also laid out a consonant scheme while presenting rough quality prints from scans of Rachelline Centomo's personal international mailart open call "La Muerte / Mientras la Vida nos Dure" that had happened at Mexico the previous year.
Exhibitions on tour through Portugal are ALREADY confirmed. We'll keep you updated by email. There will be a digital book to be shared and spread around free of charge to all artists and partners.

I will send you a handmade post card in return after the show. After a long illness where I haven't done much visual art, I am finishing up dozens of started projects.

Quinta da Cruz - Centro de Arte Contemporânea is located at Viseu – Portugal, and was created as a dynamic center for art, culture and identity. It is a cultural space oriented towards the exhibition of contemporary art, to the development of artistic practices, and is perceived as an engine of local artistic promotion. Intended for public enjoyment, culture and leisure, it is integrated into a wide green space of excellence and remarkable biodiversity.
The MailArt Open Call is an annual project that promotes a contemporary art form of expression that emerged as a correspondence exchanged between artists during the 60s and manifested itself as an alternative to the conventional means of art exhibitions on the 70s. It integrates the strategic line - territory and identity, of this space and its relationship with the community and the city, fulfilling the objective of constituting a small format collection.
In 2020, Viseu chooses cinema and photography as motives and expressions of cultural valorization, territorial marketing and tourism promotion, guiding programs and projects under the theme, "Viseu 2020 - Luz, Câmara, Ação" [ Viseu 2020 - Light, Camera, Action ].
Quinta da Cruz – Centro de Arte Contemporânea challenges once again, artists and everyone interested in MailArt to send their artwork through the Postal Service, for our third edition, under the theme "Viseu 2020 - Light, Camera, Action". #viseusemfiltros
We wait for your drawings, collages, stamps, visual poetry, among others, at Quinta da Cruz - Centro de Arte Contemporânea. Only artwork received via snail mail will be displayed.

At this 2020’s edition, the Amanita Bunker exhibition returns to the streets of this small village reinforcing the artistic bombings of the previous editions. Authors are invited to create artwork regarding the requested theme and join the yearly Mushroom Festival.
Amanita Bunker, wears robes of a fictional political party. The Amanites manifest themselves and demand distinction and promise improvements on the village. In the form of stickers, pins, posters, slogans, political propaganda and other equally ridiculous but serious paraphernalia ... artists are invited to participate by sending works that will eventually be scattered through the streets in the form of propaganda.

description
The "MareArte" project was born from an idea of the artist DIEGO RACCONI as a collective artistic initiative of works in small format, traveling through the postal system. The works of different artists from different regions and from foreign countries focus on the varied relationship between Man and the Sea. Art can represent a valid awareness tool, through which to send a message to the community, stimulating virtuous behaviors and recalling the ancient customs and traditions of our countries. The numerous participation of the artists in the project led to continue the initiative through the creation of a traveling exhibition associated with a solidarity initiative, giving a implication of concrete help towards external environmental non-profit associations, which they dedicate themselves to the recovery of marine animals. The exhibition is structured through an installation and is presented during thematic events and manifestations, in collaboration with organizations and institutions that promote the various stages. The initiative, whose participation is free, is open to all artists who wish to send their message through their sensitivity, creativity, inventiveness and artistic originality by donating a small work of their own, sharing the philosophy and purpose of the initiative. All the works transferred for the initiative will become permanently part of the historical-cultural archive of the initiative, structuring over time an ever richer and wider collection of artists who love the sea.

description
In 1979, after some travels to the South American Forest, I've planned an Archive dedicated to Amazon in order to highlight, by means of some art projects, the systematic destruction perpetrated by landed proprietors with the connivance of the some governments to build the sadly "famous" trans-Amazonian highroads – real deep cuts on the forest's skin – and for a devastating plan of industrial agriculture which has "taken flash off" the forest. Forest, which has not finished crying and has not ended to be sacrificed to favour even today the more wicked interests of unscrupulous persons.
After 40 years the AMAZON ARCHIVE invites you to send one or more works dedicated to this theme exclusively by post.

The MOUNDZA is an insulting gesture widespread in Greece. The Ministry Education in Greece announce that the lessons of visual Arts and music at High Schools is completely PROHIBIT, insulting the work of teachers, the desires of students and Greek culture. Hundreds of deputy art teachers are being laid off... It deprives students of the necessary education, for the comprehensive development of their personality, their aesthetic cultivation, the development of their perceptual ability, the development of creative thinking and the spiritual and emotional formation of their personality. If you want to protest with the Greek art teachers, create your "MOUNDZA".

Having in mind the potential of this initiative to constitute a unique and artistic historical archive, as well as its interdisciplinary nature in the promotion of bridges between arts and health, we invite you, during the next 40 days, to send your contribution (textual/visual, sound and/or multimedia), via the following e-mail: artinquarantine@gmail.com
Presenting an alternative chain of transmission, this initiative is a laboratory for sharing, reflection and artistic creation on a critical moment in terms of public health, on a global scale, and with visible cultural, social and economic impact for us all.
All contributions will be gathered in a digital gallery hosted by wr3ad1ng d1g1t5 (wreading-digits.com).
The files to be sent cannot exceed 10 MB and must be identified with the respective title (if any), authorship and provenance.

Tribute to six great artists of art history.
In the book "Le Disobbedienti" published by Mondadori / Le Scie, the writer Elisabetta Rasy tells the story of Artemisia Gentileschi, Elisabeth Vigee Le Brun, Berthe Morisot, Suzanne Valadon, Charlotte Salomon e Frida Kalo. Six different women from age to age, family situation, character. However, they share the talent and the will to not bow to the rules imposed by the society of their time, penalizing and marginalizing rules for women. In the portrait-tale that Elisabetta Rasy portrays each of them, the boldness with which they fought and won the hard battle to assert themselves emerges with strength and passion. Despite the prohibitions, obligations, misunderstandings and prejudices. These artists have forever changed the image and place of women in the art world with their work.

Haiga
submission address Lois Richter
| 1315 Torrey St
| Davis CA 95618, USA
description
"Haiga" is a poetry/image art form that uses three lines of text ALONG WITH on image to describe a moment. Because English syllables differ from Japanese phonemes, the lines do NOT have to be 5-7-5 syllables -- they can be much shorter and still be English "ku". Preferably, there are no run-on sentences; no verbs; and the text alone would not evoke the same thing as the text/image together.
Traditionally haiku is about nature and senryu is about humans or human-made objects. Either haiku or senryu is welcome in HAIGA.
Below is one of mine.

description
At this 2019’s edition, the Amanita Bunker exhibition returns to the streets of this small village reinforcing the artistic bombings of the previous 2018's edition. Authors are invited to create artwork regarding the requested theme and join the yearly Mushroom Festival.
Amanita Bunker, wears now robes of a fictional political party. The Amanites manifest themselves and demand distinction and promise improvements on the village. In the form of stickers, pins, posters, slogans, political propaganda and other equally ridiculous but serious paraphernalia ... artists are invited to participate by sending works that will eventually be scattered through the streets in the form of propaganda.
"Fires continue to plague the country and our memory is short. When we take down forests or take other actions that can deplete fungal populations, this does not only affect fungi - it ultimately affects Homo sapiens as well. Fungi is an ignored realm, but this kingdom is more important than many of us imagine." -- Nicholas Money

From the infinite universe to the infinite sea, that’s an invitation to all the artists to submerge into the abyss of a magnificent world.We are offering you a very important chance to talk about a problem that plagues the entire planet. The sea is suffocating because of the plastic pollution. Oceans cover most part of our Earth, they’re fundamental for us to survive, they regulate the climate, help the plants’ growth. A surprise is coming from the sea, but it’s a death sentence. We’re all in danger but we can still try to do something. Think about it. WE’RE NOT THE PLASTIC MEN. Fortunately we’re not yet on a boat and closed into a bottle with no escape. Let’s save ourselves from the monster that plastic have became through the years.

description
This year is the 30th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, and the UK is exiting the EU. We are planning to create an exhibition of mail art that responds to the theme of 'Falling Walls'.
The theme is inspired by the historical event of the Fall of the Berlin Wall but artists are invited to respond freely to the concept of 'Falling Walls'.
'Falling Walls' is a international mail art exhibition hosted by SVA as part of the project 'Berliner Zeitgeist' in Stroud, England. 'Berliner Zeitgeist' is an extensive Autumn program with films, talks and artist lead events responding to the theme of the historical event of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and how it had so many effects on a personal and international level. This project is also a creative response at a time of critical political transition, in a time of Brexit, to build positive connections between artists and communities across Europe.
extra
During the exhibition we will host a Soup Versammlung in the gallery where we will facilitate a discussion around one of the themes of the project.
The exhibition will move to the Nau gallery in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire where they will also host a Soup Versammlung.

For ideas articulating your visions for alternative economies, including proclamations, manifestations and more. The mail art project aims to proposition positive strategies to Neo-liberal dogma whilst generating dialogue between different opinions involved.Forces beyond our control have changed the economic rules while we continue to play by them in the old game.Your participation will help to locate and establish alternative visions) strategies, providing a comprehensive snapshot of contemporary social, political, cultural and ethnic aspirations.

Quinta da Cruz - Centro de Arte Contemporânea is located in Viseu, Portugal, and is a cultural space oriented to the exhibition of contemporary art and to the development of artistic practices. It’s a space destined to public enjoyment, culture and leisure, inserted in a green space of excellence and a remarkable biodiversity.
In 2019, Viseu assumed the motto of “National Destination of Gastronomy” and that is why, for this challenge, the theme "Food, Wine & Culture" was selected.
We launch an invitation to artists and all interested in MailArt to send their works, through the Postal Service, and join the 2nd edition of this event. Only works received through traditional mail will be displayed. We look forward for your drawings, collages, stamps and visual poetry, among others, at Quinta da Cruz!

As part of that project, Ric Kasini Kadour is curating the exhibition “Structures” that introduces contemporary art into the landscape and buildings of Rokeby. “Structures” repurposes historic spaces as platforms for contemporary art and asks the viewer to contemplate the role that structures play in shaping our experience of the world and how structures can inform and shape the experience of others. All of the work in the exhibition reflects, responds, or contrasts with structures on the site.
We ask that artists send a work that reflects or responds to their home or a building in their home community. We envision postcards from artists visiting the tourist cabin bearing messages from home.

A BOOK ABOUT DEATH is an open, unbound book produced by artists worldwide. Artists are invited to create a “page” in the form of a postcard about death– any aspect about death. Works can be of any design, personal or conceptual, color or black and white.
The original work about death stays with you, the artist. The 500 postcards produced from the work is for the exhibition, and are sent to the museum.
Artists can include any information about themselves on the cards, front or back. There are no age limits, no areas or ideas that are prohibited. The exhibition organizers only ask that you submit good work, worthy of an interesting and exciting page in this global book.
A BOOK ABOUT DEATH takes its inspiration from the late, underground American artist Ray Johnson (1927 - 1995). Ray Johnson’s unbound “book” of the same title was mailed to his New York Correspondence School “students” and included pages in his idiosyncratic style that were funny, sad and ironic “one-page essays” on death. With the A BOOK ABOUT DEATH project, artists are invited to plunge into subject in creating their own pages that score the dramatic final dance of death.
Each artist 's contribution will be displayed at the Islip Art Museum in New York. Visitors will be free to take cards and create their own book about death. As the cards are removed, the exhibition will disappear.
HOW TO SUBMIT
1. Produce an artwork about death. Make 500 postcards and mail the package to Islip Art Museum. All submissions will be accepted if they arrive in time. Artists may produce more than one card design if they wish.
2. Once images are produced, a light-weight jpg should be e-mailed to LUANN PALAZZO, along with the artist’s name, country of origin, and URL (artist web site address) for publication on the blog. This will allow the organizers to archive the works and artist details. Other artists will also be able to visit the exhibition in progress.
You can either produce the cards yourself or upload the file to any number of printers for delivery to the museum. You, as the artist are in complete control of your artwork and cards.
The organizers will not collect cards for the artists. We ask that those visiting the museum only take one set per person, leaving enough for others.
Institutions who wish to have a complete book will have to come to the museum space and get their own pages/cards or assign someone to do it for them. The organizers are not responsible for the cards, but will see to it that all cards received are displayed and available to visitors. The organizers are not responsible for the return of any remaining cards; should there be any remaining cards, these will become part of the Islip Art Museum archives.
extra
WHEN YOU SEND IN YOUR IMAGES IN JPG FORMAT, SEND LARGE IMAGES (about 300K each; 900 x 600 pixels). THIS WAY THEY WILL BE HIGHLY VISIBLE ON THE BLOG.
Opening reception to be lived streamed, performance artists will be at reception. A Mail Art guest book will be created at the show and every ABAD artist will receive a post card from this book in the mail!

Durante los últimos años, y coincidiendo con la llegada del correo electrónico y los canales cibernéticos, el mail art ha sido sentenciado a muerte en múltiples ocasiones.
A partir de estas sentencias, y dado que no acaba de morir, pensamos que el Mausoleo de Morille podría ser un buen lugar para su enterramiento definitivo, confiando en la resurrección de las almas y el renacimiento posterior en la otra dimensión.

La exposición previa al enterramiento tendrá un formato atípico, con actos rituales, festejos y romería, finalizando con la introducción de las obras en el objeto volante no identificado (de la fotografía) y traslado al cementerio de arte, Museo Mausoleo Morille, perteneciente a Red Museion, plataforma transfronteriza de Museos.
Como acto final y previo al enterramiento se procederá, a través de conexiones del sistema UFO2x24, a agradecer a los habitantes de la galaxia , por los servicios prestados a través de la oficina postal interestelar y el sincero deseo de que en el futuro sigamos colaborando en la otra dimensión. ¡El Arte Postal ha muerto! ¡Viva el Arte Postal!

Censorship is anathema to the Fluxus spirit. However, exhibited works cannot violate Canadian law. Fortunately, the laws protecting artistic freedom of expression are relatively strong in Canada. Basically, anything goes, except child pornography and hate speech. Hate speech includes, "advocating genocide", "publicly inciting hatred", and "promoting hatred".
Given the history of persecution of sexual minorities, the curators are committed to including artworks that may depict or document manifestations of homophobia, provided that such works do not violate the law.
It is illegal to produce, distribute, or possess child pornography in Canada, as such work deemed to be such by the curators, will be destroyed upon receipt.
NOTICE: The curators reserve the right to refuse to exhibit and/or document any submission at their absolute and sole discretion.

Freedom is a great thing. In our society you can think, say, organize your personal life the way you want without being afraid of punishment. Because that freedom has become normal, you do not really think about it anymore. Yet it is something precious. You will notice that soon when you lose it. Once a year we celebrate Liberation Day in the Netherlands.
What is freedom for you? And why is it important? Do you have ideas, do you want to share that, send it to us.

In our municipality of Alphen-Chaam still exists the remains of an old and the only Commandery in the Netherlands of the Knights Templars, a monks order dating back to the Middle Ages; they were crusaders. The inhabitants of our region were liable to a monastery of yet another monks order, 50 kilometers away. The monks had a predominant role in life in the past times. They managed the lands, they built the monasteries, the churches and the hospitals, protected the pilgrims, farmers and the citizens. They made the rules, wrote the books. They preceded in the rituals of spiritual life and were the guards of civilization and morality. Throughout the world and in all religions and civilizations are people like our monks. Both men and women. Even in each human being lurks a monk, a moralist, a dedicated person and with the desire to live in peace and regularity, occasionally in the seclusion of the surrounding world. There is also being mocked with this misunderstood eccentrics. For example, in the works of Hieronymus Bosch many a monk and saint are represented, for good and for evil. Antony in temptation, John as a scholar and writer, a flying monk, a drunken monk, etc. Not every monk was a good guy, not every bad guy was a monk.

description
Fellow artists, be aware that although this website deals with sensitive subjects that should concern all of us... please be alerted that it may contain language and imagery not suited for all humans.
On previous curated mailart and artbymail open calls we've dealt with similar content... at "desAMORes" (www.desamores.yzonk.com) we've worked around the concept of unmatchable loves and at "QUEIXA-TE" (www.queixate.yzonk.com) I've asked artists to complain about whatever subject they weren't pleased with. At the present open call, entitled "Hate Mail? for ya Fat F#uck", I'm getting in touch with artists and asking them to give their support to fellow artists that continually see their artwork being censored again and again. These censored artists are exposing severe situations of our present lifetime, touching subjects considered triggers that are listed on international trigger lists, but they are indeed helping us out by means of expressing themselves through art that creates awareness about these matters. "Ignoring it won't make it go away" is the concept above all.
I'm just fed up that remarkable artwork is being censored because of its theme or, even worst, because it simply presents nudity.
It is not uncommon for us to miss flagging content that might be identified as triggering. Perhaps the trigger seems suitably mild to you and you believed it didn’t need to be flagged or it simply seems silly. Or maybe you are just dealing with a snowflake.
Snowflake is a term for someone that thinks they are unique and special but really are not. It gained popularity after the movie "Fight Club" from the quote "You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else." Began being used extensively as a putdown for someone, usually on the political left, who are easily offended or felt they needed a "safe space" away from the harsh realities of the world, but now has morphed into a general putdown for anyone that complains about any subject.
Nowadays there are so many people being triggered by somewhat reason that it became too common to have artists creations being reported and consequently censored on networks such as Instagram and Facebook. It seems that we regressed to past times when clothes had been ordered to be painted and sculpted over artwork, but now through the use of pixels and black bars. I do hope that through this open call, we do start to freely start to talk about these subjects/problems and stop being a prude.
I'm not promoting illegal actions nor soliciting illegal content but ignoring it won't make it go away.
It was already proved that talking about these subjects do trigger some folks since this open call was targeted of censorship by fellow artists.
So, to confront this matter, all submitted artwork should deal with the offensiveness of itself, or nor, in some sort of way or approach/discuss/deal with these issues. Work with the common trigger warnings and freely express yourself through art.
Only similar content, to the following list, will be considered valid and used on the exhibitions: abuse (physical, mental, emotional, verbal, sexual); animal cruelty or animal death; blood; child abuse / pedophilia / incest; classism; death or dying; depiction of pornography (including child pornography); eating disorders, body hatred, and fatphobia; excessive or gratuitous violence; homophobia and heterosexism; incest (including any and all elements of romantic or sexual relationships between family, tonal in theme, though, or activity); Islamophobia; kidnapping and abduction (forceful deprivation of / disregard for personal autonomy); mental illness and ableism; miscarriages / abortion; needles; pornographic content; pregnancy / childbirth; racism and racial slurs; rape and sexual assault; self-harm, and self-injurious behavior (self-harm, eating disorders, etc.); sexism and misogyny; sexual assault; suicide; transphobia and transmisogyny; violence; …

Our center is named after Antonio Fraguas, a prominent figure of Galician culture and who are dedicated AS LETRAS GALEGAS 2019. Therefore, we decided to open a window to the world with this call for mail art (the first one we do) with the aim of facilitating artistic and cultural communication, without losing sight of the educational framework in which it is to be developed, within the multiple activities of the Cultural Week.
The theme proposed for this call for postal art, the traditional culture, will allow all participants to value the constitutive elements of their culture and traditions, strengthening, in many occasions, the discovery of their roots, the importance of memory and respect for elders as repositories of popular wisdom.
The people most related to Galicia, and all those who so wish, can incorporate to their artistic work those aspects of the legacy of Antonio Fraguas that they consider of their interest: anthropology, ethnography, cultural heritage, etc. In these links you can expand information.

open call I International Biennial of Mail Art Zeca Afonso
description
The theme chosen for the I International Mail Art Biennale Zeca Afonso, organized by the José Afonso Galiza Association (AJA Galiza), focuses on minoritized languages. This should be understood as a term which refers to a language which has been marginalized, persecuted or even prohibited at any time in history, which implies a cut in its use and different problems to its conception as a useful element or as identifier of a collective reality.
Minoritized languages and minority languages are not the same, since the latter only refer to a lack of users. Minoritized languages, however, have seen restricted their possibilities of social use. That is to say, minoritized languages cannot be used as main languages in concrete uses, in comparison to the large possibilities of using that characterize a dominant language. In addition, minoritized languages tend to suffer unilateral bilingualism of speakers, which means that, in practice, these people have in their repertoire the language of their own and even the dominant language, but generally not on the same level. The minoritized linguistic community thus becomes a subset of the dominant and therefore is subordinate to the dominant community and thus is perceived. Works sent to the I International Mail Art Biennale Zeca Afonso should reflect any aspect of this conflicting reality.
The decision to choose this topic has to do with the very reality of Galicia, whose own language is lessened by the pressure of Spanish despite having a great development in the Portuguese speaking countries of the five continents. However, since AJA Galicia, we encourage you sending works that reflect other situations in other parts of the world, being aware that it is a problem that threatens other languages all around.

At the end of the period, AJA Galiza will publish a digital catalog with all works, which will be sent to the participants by e-mail.

Che-Ché somewhere over the Rainbow

submission address facebook.com/eventos.leghijem
description
"Che-Ché" was a beautiful white cat, a Turkish Angora, my beloved Pet [Feb.14,2013 ~ Mzo.17,2018] (05 years old). Unfortunately, he suddenly crossed the Rainbow during his romantic persecutions. It was a very sad episode that left the heart desolate in our Home!
... the time passes and the pain softens with resignation, remembering beautiful moments and the satisfaction of having given it a "nice life".
In my return to the Visual Arts, after 18 years of absence, "Che-Ché" has been that inspiration engine to translate and tribute him in several illustrations of Postal Art where I have participated in several Countries of the World during 2018. Many have been the Mail Art Organizers that have allowed me (jointly and severally) my participation in a Digital manner due to the non-existence (temporary) of the International Public Mail in Venezuela and for reasons beyond our control. For this reason, I have had the great motivation and the endeavor to summon all those Visual Artists, Cat Lovers and people with plastic interests (of any age) who wish to participate in this Project of "Virtual Postal Art on Facebook®" ... I do not know if someone came up with the idea before but I think it's great, something different and new!

The artwork must include a white cat.

description
In our municipality of Alphen-Chaam still exists the remains of an old and the only Commandery in the Netherlands of the Knights Templars, a monks order dating back to the Middle Ages; they were crusaders. The inhabitants of our region were liable to a monastery of yet another monks order, 50 kilometers away. The monks had a predominant role in life in the past times. They managed the lands, they built the monasteries, the churches and the hospitals, protected the pilgrims, farmers and the citizens. They made the rules, wrote the books. They preceded in the rituals of spiritual life and were the guards of civilization and morality. Throughout the world and in all religions and civilizations are people like our monks. Both men and women. Even in each human being lurks a monk, a moralist, a dedicated person and with the desire to live in peace and regularity, occasionally in the seclusion of the surrounding world. There is also being mocked with this misunderstood eccentrics. For example, in the works of Hieronymus Bosch many a monk and saint are represented, for good and for evil. Antony in temptation, John as a scholar and writer, a flying monk, a drunken monk, etc. Not every monk was a good guy, not every bad guy was a monk.

A Call for Art[ist] dedicated to the "most famous unknown artist" of New York and its non-shape.
Ray Johnson (1927-1995) a seminal figure of Pop Art in the 50s was a pioneer of Mail Art.
His works reflect his encyclopedic erudition, his promiscuous range of interests and a mysterious proto-Google ability to discover connections between a myriad of images, facts and people.
This project aims to stimulate visual research through an extraordinary means of communication: invisible, underground, nostalgic, subversive, poetic, playful, unofficial and unconventional. He wants to draw attention to a code that guarantees the transversality and multidisciplinary nature of the languages and the antagonist of the commodification prevailing in art.
"Where can we go with imagination and creativity?"
"Be extremely thin to the point of not having a shape"

description
microbo.net has always investigated the relationship between virtual and real, using the Web to promote the visual arts.
The Web, an open space par excellence, is the natural place where every single artist can promote his work to a potentially planetary audience; this is why the initiative is called MYSELF: we intend to offer everyone the opportunity to tell each other - through their own work of art.
The format is mandatory that of the simple, small box that each artist must build following the instructions and the attached template .pdf, which must be printed in A4 / letter format, on any media: paper, cardboard, glossy sheets, colored, photo paper, adhesive paper, etc. ...
Each artist can use the box itself as a support for his work (drawing it, painting it, using it as a base for collage, etc.) or inserting one or more small works inside it.
Realize your MYSELF BOX starting from the provided file, printed on any support, in A4 format and build it following the assembly instructions » https://photos.app.goo.gl/SS5Eqoz41gWDXDpe6
Turn it into a work of art or use it as a container for one's own work or more work.
Fill in the appropriate form (https://goo.gl/forms/itj2QwKRuOblt4h63) and send the job to the address (which is shown after completing the form with your data and clicking on "send").
extra
All submitted work will be digitized and processed into electronic books (eBooks) issued under the non-commercial creative commons license CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 IT, which will be published on our website and disseminated by us through our social areas.
The works must not be protected by copyright (otherwise microbo.net would be unable to spread the initiative on the net and print the images on posters etc. ...).
The material sent is intended to be donated to microbo.net, which undertakes not to derive any commercial benefit from the materials supplied, which are used exclusively for the realization of exhibitions, print and web spread (through microbo.net), via e-mail (invitations and press release) and on their social profiles, in order to ensure the success of the initiative.
microbo.net reserves the possibility of organizing subsequent collective exhibitions, in different exhibition spaces. Also, for these and subsequent exhibitions, no contribution will be required for the participating artists.

Dispersal Collective seeks your dreams, cellular memories and vibrations in the form of images, words, and artworks for Homeworld (Interplanetary Migration).
Dispersal asks correspondence artists to address migration through an imaginal and real lens. In the future, and already having occurred in the past, people perform interplanetary, intergalactic and inter-dimensional migration. You are migrating from your Homeworld, hometown and shifting your state of being to a new planet, relative place or dimension….
Through images and/or words…

At this year’s edition, the Amanita Bunker exhibition returns to the streets of this small village yet in the form of art bombing. Authors are invited to create artwork regarding the requested theme and join the yearly Mushroom Festival.
We truly don’t know if mushrooms are looking for a hideout, inside the local’s mailboxes, from all the hungry stomachs at this festival. Maybe they are running away from the constant fires that overwhelm our Portuguese forests and their natural habitat. Or perhaps they are just growing so much that they spread all the way from the forest till the habitant’s mailboxes and the village streets.
This being said… artists are invited to join in by sending artwork to the curators or by sending it directly to the village addresses.
All the artwork sent to the curators will end up being spread around the streets and all the work sent directly to the habitants will create a vaster bombing and mushroom invasion.
If sending directly to the habitants, do go on Google Street View and grab address from the city center of “Alcaide Fundão Portugal”. Do also send a scan of that same artwork to the provided email address so that we can archive it online and print a few more to spread on the streets.
extra
We do ask you to add somewhere on the artwork the hashtag #AMANITABUNKER and the website www.amanitabunker.yzonk.com so that the receiver may go online and learn about this project.

The Movement Arte da mangiare mangiare Arte honors Casa Museo Boschi Di Stefano launches an international mail art call.
Nowadays a true relationship between the Artist and the Art Collector is missing, the new logic of the art market ends up confusing the economic value of a work with its artistic value.
The choice of this “resistant” art form is determined by the desire to introduce the virtuous model of the Boschi Di Stefano spouses’ collecting to the greatest number of international artists and encourages to an art networking with the aim of reflecting on the role of the collector today. An enquiry that starts from an example of the past: Stefano Boschi and his civic sense which lead him to donate his collection to the City of Milan, transforming his private home into one of the most interesting Houses – Museum in the world.

CALL FOR WORKS WHICH EXPLORE THE THEME OF DEMOCRACY
This International Mail Art Call opens a channel to reflect on the current struggle for democracy, both in Brazil and in the international scene. In Latin America, postal art emerged and developed in the context of military dictatorships which, then, dominated many countries of this continent, including Brazil.
Considering this historic aspect of Latin American postal art, as well as the current Brazilian political and institutional crisis, which has worsened since the impeachment process of former President Dilma Rousseff, and more recently with the increase of political violence in Brazil, we invite proposals that reflect on the democratic values we are fighting for.

From the Project of University Extension of the UNLP "Building Social Ties" we launched a call to participate in an art mail experience. The call is mainly oriented to projects dedicated to art in perspective of human rights, community transformation and working in contexts of greater social vulnerability. Also, any interested person can participate, without age limits and from anywhere. It is not a requirement to be an artist.
Postcards received within the dates of the calls will be exposed, in principle, in a sample to develop in the city of La Plata during the month of October. Once said sample is finished, they will become part of the file of the "Building Social Ties" Project.

The ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) are, as the name suggests, works of art created with the intention of being traded. They were used for a long time, in the artistic medium as business cards that represented the artist's capacities and were exchanged, in hand, among artists, gallerists and art dealers and others. With this small catalog of artworks, it would thus be possible for anyone interested to learn techniques from other artists, to own a small private collection of art or even to use them as real business cards at the time of commissioning works.

It's just that, an uncensored free style mail art show. Mail art is art that uses the postal system as a medium. Mail artists typically exchange ephemera in the form of illustrated letters; zines; rubberstamped, decorated, or illustrated envelopes; artist trading cards; postcards; artistamps; faux postage; mail-interviews; naked mail; friendship books, decos and three-dimensional objects.

"Like echoes off and for a long time tend to a deep unity..."
- Baudelaire
Do you want to be found in the forest of symbols?
“Symbol” comes from Greek σύμ-βάλλω, «put together».
If you d’like to be found by someone who traces back your footsteps, the symbols you have left for him/her to find you, join us.
You can keep your name secret, or just a message, it is up to you. The important thing is that you disguise yourself. Because only the initiates, who are able to hear you, can find you. This game is about recognizing each other.
Where and how you want to be found it's your decision.
What can’t be reached by rationality and science, agape and love will find it naturally, let others decipher what you have hidden and only through a spontaneous intuition it will be possible to come to you.
Is there a code in art? No! Art is free. References, memories, colors, sounds, smells, fragrances, associations... thanks to their sensibility artists are able to make the forest of symbols, where they hide their concepts and their correspondences, understandable.
Everyone has his own code to communicate. Find someone who knows your code and knows how to decrypt it, because it vibrates within himself too. It's like a genetic code.
The genetic code is the set of rules contained in our deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA.
Communication is the center of everything. Art was meant as an instrument of communication since the beginning of human history, when cavemen started painting on the cave walls, matching symbols to objects and concepts for the first time. Creating meaning is an artificial process but communicating is an innate process.
Communication is an animal feature, it's pure existence and Art comes from the instinct of a direct grip on reality, a desire to reproduce ourselves in Reality and Beauty. So, the mission is to communicate with symbols, with images and alchemy that refer to other of ourselves.
Join in and lose yourself in the forest of symbols, an emerald dark forest, behind the shadow of an apparent misunderstanding and, let the your message be deciphered, look for the messages you have left.
Whoever finds you, he/she speaks your same language.
Do you want to play?

Book is a concept, a format, a support, type of structure, a construction, it is a container, it is a resource ... ultimately it is an object and basically it is communication space.
Territory that has historically been occupied by the word, the artist takes, appropriates it and includes it among its own expressive resources. Experience your way by deploying personal baggage and unique creative skills.
Shapes, textures, texts, colors, objects, images, etc. All kinds of techniques and materials. The possible forms are endless.
By dispensing with the unidirectional rigor imposed by reading, the journeys can be surprising and more like our own world, infinitely complex, fragmented, with successive layers and mysterious folds.

Artwork submitted by traditional mail won't be returned but instead another artwork will be sent to the artists.
Certificates will be issued to all participants.

AOM accepts visual and concrete poetry, short stories, art, photography, collage, asemic writing, blackout poetry, conceptual writing, flarf, found poetry, spam lit, flash fiction, mail art, typewriter art, computer/digital art, etc. Please submit up to five works. Work should be attached separately via email. AOM accepts jpegs for visual work (no greater than 4Mb), and .doc/.docx/.rtf for text-based work. AOM also accepts audio/ video/animation submissions. Hypertext/electronic literature/e-poetry are also accepted.
Essays/non-fiction/journalism are (heartily) accepted (especially related to contemporary art/poetry). AOM indulges the non-mainstream. If you have something to say that bucks accepted (and acceptable) dogma (especially within so-called experimental circles), and is (probably) considered unpublishable by both mainstream and “experimental” outlets, please feel free to submit.
Experimental work only. Experimental=complete & absolute flights of fancy. Again, AOM indulges the self-indulgent, so go for it. Mags often say they want “experimental,” but don’t actually mean it. AOM wants your insane stuff, emphatically so!–the stuff that won’t be published in “respectable” academic lit/poetry mags. The goal of AOM is not to promote a house style; this is probably a pipe-dream, but try we must!

AOM is open for submissions year-round.
Nothing previously published. No simultaneous submissions. Copyright remains with the author/artist.

Artist Books are artistic objects that use the book format or the concept of the book itself at its core.
At this international collective exhibition, we do present several works of this genre, which proliferated in the very contemporary XX century, together with its congeners Visual Poetry, Assemic Writing among some other derivatives. Here, we do exalt the graphic conceptual representation of the "word" and the "word" abstraction. With this show, you’ll relearn what you've considered the book object to be and your present notion of the written word.
This is an on-tour exhibition curated by the artist Monsenhor enVide neFelibata that held artwork by several handpicked national and international artists.
The artwork is shown at exhibitions that will tour through Portuguese Museums, Galleries, Libraries, and some unconventional places. At each exhibition, a workshop will be presented by Monsenhor enVide neFelibata or a local selected artist. During this workshop, we’ll present some of the technics that have been used by artists for a long time as well as explore uncommon materials.
Do you think your artwork would be a great addition to this collection? Drop me a word.

Quinta da Cruz - Centro de Arte Contemporânea is located at Viseu – Portugal, and was created as a dynamic center for art, culture and identity. It is a cultural space oriented towards the exhibition of contemporary art, to the development of artistic practices, and is perceived as an engine of local artistic promotion. Intended for public enjoyment, culture and leisure, it is integrated into a wide green space of excellence and remarkable biodiversity.
The MailArt Open Call is an annual project that promotes a contemporary art form of expression that emerged as a correspondence exchanged between artists during the 60s and manifested itself as an alternative to the conventional means of art exhibitions on the 70s. It integrates the strategic line - territory and identity, of this space and its relationship with the community and the city, fulfilling the objective of constituting a small format collection.
