Mail from William Mellott - Taiwan

When an American works in Taiwan, mail from there is possible. Again a mail-art contact there.

Nico van Hoorn - Netherlands

Nico van Hoorn (Netherlands) sent me this postcard. He is supporting the search for Chinese mail-Artists by placing the Chinese Word for "Mail-Art on his outgoing post. It is a start to make this accessible for China as well. Where are all those Chinese Mail-Artists? It is the largest country and we don't have any connecyions yet. hat should change. They learn english there too, so that isn't the problem. This project lasts as long as the moment Chinese Mail-Atists are visible in out network.

Mail from Nico van Hoorn to Samuel Montalvetti

On mail from Nico van Hoorn to Samuel Montalvetti I noticed that Nico still is printing the Chinese word for Mail-Art. Thanks for this advertising!

Nico van Hoorn - Netherlands

Contribution from Nico van Hoorn (Netherlands). Not an indication of where to find Chinese Mail-Artists yet. But a nice ides is the Chinese Word "Mail-Art" almost like a sticker or rubber stamp. Maybe I need to make something like that to try to make contact with Chinese mail-artists. Actually the final goal of this Mail-Art research project.

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!

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.
