Someone from China in IUOMA at NING

This morning I noticed that someone from China was on the IUOMA social network at Ning (see: http://iuoma-network.ning.com/), so it means Mail-Art still has their attention there. Is it an artist or someone from the government?  You never know. 

Mail to Suet - Hong Kong

Answering a first card from Hong Kong (Suet, also member of the IUOMA) and sending her this painted envelope. I hope it reaches her.

China Post Forms

Oh forgot. When needed, fill in one of those lovely chines declarations that it is just Mail-Art and can be sent into the world without any special costs.

Robert Scala - Italy

A first reaction to the distribution of the Image and question arrived by traditional mail today. Robert Scala from Italy sent a printout of the image and altered it (above). He also included the card below. A typical Mail-Art responce. But the first clue to find chinese mail-artists is there: The Chinese restaurants, and China Town. There are chinese people there. Maybe they are in contact with China and could they direct us to Chinese Mail-Artists. I still hope this project will bring us a contact to China. Ask for an artist connection next time you eat Chinese!

Chinese Mail-Art - Translation

在5月4日我開始了這個小研究计划。 在哪裡中國郵件藝術家？ 首先我必須问問題。 我做增加&的Als; 通過我將送入網絡的紙。 什麼我盼望是連接到一些中國郵件藝術家和集成他們全球网络。 在80ies我有與中國藝術家的有些聯絡。 並且，因為從美國的藝術家工作了在中國裡面並且安排了有些聯絡。 現今hina增長，但是在我們的全球性郵件藝術網絡的连接未被建立。 可能這個小項目將帶來一些變動。 我在发生了什么，並且什麼將保持您被更新這研究通过blogging帶來所有關於什麼發生，在我開始了這個项目之後。 Ruud Janssen， 2010年5月3th日

Paperwork

Besides spreading the image of the project in text form, I also published a digital image on several blogs and made 50 prints of the invitation. On while, yellow and blue paper. they will be sent out with my outgoing mail-art. We will see if somehow this gets to China or not. As fas as I know there are no members from China on the IUOMA-platform as well.
