To all artists interested in mail art exchange. Please circulate among artists who might be interested. Send me an email with your post address, and I'll try to send you a piece of mail art.
Mail art had its heyday in the 1970's when postal services were more reliable and not competing with electronic communication. The Fluxus movement in particular favoured the mundane letter and postcard media.
As a part of this mail art project I will experiment with asemic writing and something very reminiscent of a conlang, except that the words are not intended to carry any meaning. Video animations of a kind of audiovisual poetry are also planned.
If you want to participate in the exchange, send me your post address by email. You may also send me your own mail art by regular post. The email contact will be useful to check if delivery is successful but will not be used for the exchange of art.
More information can be found on the official project page:
https://ristoid.net/art/mailart.html
The project will run through the year, or perhaps longer. I intend to document sent letters or postcards, and will also scan and display incomming mail art on the project page. (Let me know if you prefer to remain anonymous.)
In order not to make this an annual habit, I make this announcement on the leap day of 29 February 2024.
