Mailart call "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 September 30, 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.

Besides Anne Braunschweig and other artists from around the world, the Estonian Chief of police sent an entry, the police of Malta as well as Police headquarters from Stockholm and Brussels and others.

One other nice aspect: I’ll be able to issue a printed documentation of all entries afterwards. So every participant will get nice documentation.

With your pens... create, stamp and post! 
1: With the occasion of the Reading festival and its 1st birthday (13, October 14, and 15 2006), the Correspondances media library of Divonne-the-Baths is organizing various events centered around correspondence. Within this framework, a mail art call entitled "With your pens... create, stamp and post! " is open to all mail artists.

Start with an envelope (or make an envelope).  Preferably, cover it with colors and materials of your choice: ink, gouache, watercolor, felts or pencils... Illustrate merrily according to all that you can imagine: life, love, friendship, poetry, humor... After that, relax a few moments. While waiting, create stamps... lick your stamps and adhere to the envelope. Then, mix the whole with much imagination. Do not forget to affix the addresses. When complete, slip your mailart into the first letter-box you find. The quote "to post, it is to create!"! is extracted from" Mall art: postal art, posted art "of Renaud Siegmann, Alternatives, 2002.
3: Your mail art can be flat or in relief, but not exceeding the A4 format (21 cm X 29,7 cm) and on 2 cm maximum thickness. No dangerous or illicit objects.

6: Two prizes will be given for each category of ages: a juried prize and a public favorite. The prizes will be awarded to the winners on Saturday October 14, 2006 with the Correspondances media library in the neighborhoods of 17h (except counter-order).

Christmas... Break into network participation 
How: The postmark is the focus of postal art edition 2006
This year our exhibition will have the subject: CHRISTMAS
Christmas... the early mornings of winter, illuminated nights, the gifts close to the shoes or the crib, Father Christmas with his sled parked in double file... This year, to be more faithful to the concept of postal art, the exhibition will present not only the decorated envelope as usual but also its contents, namely a small text relating to the subject: Christmas This text can be:  a proverb - a poem - a penmanship - a letter... In this category, there is, of course, the famous letter with Father Christmas. Even if you have not not written to him for more for 10, 20, or 30 years, this is the moment when when you can join again the dialogue again.
You can also write a letter of complaint to Father Christmas. For example, you never received the astronaut action figures wished for in 1969 (one is astonished, but space conquest marks time): claim!
Do not neglect Mother Christmas in these times of parity... whose letter-box contents are wrongfully empty at the end of the year.
Foot-note: the text of your letters should not exceed the back of a page to be able to be exhibited in its entirety with its envelope.
Works will be exhibited from November 20, 2006 to January 7, 2007 at the Hotel Routes.
The public and attending participants will join together on Monday December 4... the prizes (collectable stamps, books of philately...) will be decreed for the most beautiful envelope, funniest, most strange... The envelopes of the three selected artists will be exhibited thereafter in the buildings of the Post office, at the CNIT of Defense.
Participation is free.
*On an envelope* according to the technique of your choice, express yourselves freely on what "Christmas inspires to you"...
Format is left free, but you can also use and send several envelopes which will be displayed together to create a larger image.
PLEASE USE POSTAL STAMPS ON YOUR ENVELOPE IN ADDITION TO YOUR ARTWORK
Individual documentation including the name of the artist, the title given to your envelope and its estimate of value to set a price for possible sales, will be slipped inside each envelope.
You may send several artworks, however care should be taken not to exceed the area of 50 X 60 reserved for each participant.
Also take care not to create artwork that is too thick, so they can be exhibited in the passe-partout mountings of the gallery at silver plated rod. NB.
The experiments of the last few years have shown that joinings arrive rather in good condition, but if you have fears about the brittleness of your work, know that certain post offices agree to plug postal seals all while giving again you immediately your envelope. You then can, either slip it into another envelope and to send it thus protected, or deposit it in Itinéraires, under fold, with my name.
Deadline: October 31, 2006
Fiapad:Itinéraires reserves the right not to present the envelopes that do not follow the theme.

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.

AIDS - CREATIVE SOLIDARITY
With the children, men and women suffering from chronic diseases, we need to be able to speak about the topic of HIV and AIDS, a little more than just on December 1.  The Ressy issues this mailart call to form a project that will allow all people wanting to act for prevention.
We propose that each artist sends artwork on an envelope...  text, an image, an artistic creation on the topic HIV-AIDS!
Free techniques and formats
Documentation of all the sendings on the site of the RESSY, as from December 2005.
Mailart responses to all participants, within realizable times...!
We plan several mini road shows to exhibit the artwork, in order to sensitize the public visiting waiting rooms of city doctors, wards, care centers, Anonymous locations and different Centers of Free Tracking partners of the RESSY.
Five sendings of mall art will be reproduced in postcards in quadrichrome and will be distributed and/or sold to communicate on the topic of solidarity towards the patients, with prior agreement of the mall artists who will be quoted as authors.
The marketing year 2005, proposed by UNO - AIDS encourages all to think of the responsibilities for each of us "... each one among us can contribute to stop the spread of HIV and to reduce the impact of the AIDS. You do not need to be a high level scientist working on a remedy to make a real difference. You can protect yourself and protect others from the infection of HIV, to accomodate in your life those who live with HIV or to speaking out about HIV and AIDS can help."
* RESSY - House of Ginkyo... the RESSY is a network of health of proximity. The House of Ginkyo is a Community private hospital in which holds activities related to the accompaniment of people in their process of change.

Aesthetic Mail  
As a mail artist you contribute to an international movement of aesthetics.
Mail art is hard to define, and is not sacred to any one country. One of the greatest parts of this spectacle is the intercultural, postmodernism you experience from receiving and sending. This mail call is an attempt to capture the momentum of the form.
The mail call is titled, “Aesthetic Mail” and will hopefully be two fold.
First, everyone who participates will receive a zine that will document the call.
Secondly, I will solicit for a show at the Southern Allegheny Museum of Art.
No returns.
Zine published in fall/autumn 2007
Must have at least 10 participants for creation.

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 Belgian specialty by the way....)

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
We will be able to publish a catalogue with all works received on the occasion of Cesare Pavese’s Centenary in 2008.

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.
