Dear friend, dear Christine, according to me, who launches a project of Mail Art he should know that the first thing that has to do is a good documentation to also show to the other participants who and as he has participated in the project. Besides to make of this project an exposure. Be this the circuit that makes to live the Mail Art! Otherwise that sense has to send works to someone that doesn't make you even know if he has received her? And the bonds, the friendships that are created in the world through an art without confinements how they could exist? The Mail Art is not to pick up around works for the world, the works they are beautiful, they are messages that they speak to us in direct way, they are emotions, but the true mail artists knows that the works are only a mean. If instead one cannot afford to make a documentation or it immediately signal him in the call or it does activity of Mail Art without launching projects. My best Franco
----- Original Message ----- From: Christine Tarantino Additionally...In USA many projects are without documentation. We need to increase the quality of our Mail Art documentation. As mail artists our numbers are high in contributions to worldwide calls and our own. BUT the quantity and quality of OUR documentations is low, in my opinion. Thank you FRANCO...as you know my thoughts on the ITALIANS is very high. Their projects are excellent, with beautiful catalogues for documentation and great exhibitions, which all of us certainly love to receive and prize their contents. I feel we in USA should return this courtesy to them and others who continually turn out impressive Mail Art Shows and Docs.
