This "BIG ISTANBUL" card comes from Serena Rossi, Italy

(Collage, acrylic, and glitters on paper 15 x 10 cm)
Many thanks to Serena Rossi, Milano, for this first mailart contribution to "futuristanbul" project.

First mailart postcard received from Lindenhof, Germany

Here is the collaged postcard sent by the German artist group
Lindenhof
Dorf str. 40
Winnemark 24398
GERMANY

Mailart sent: Cindy Schmid's project WHO I AM, Germany

I added my drawing of a selfportrait to make this piece kind of telling about myself. Size A4 (21x29.5 cm). Though not directly related to the future of the city, I still call this a futuristanbul card for the piece of map used; and why not: Nuit Blanche / White Night?
Sent for the mailart project WHO I AM: http://www.swinxgrafix.de/

A personal mail art project with theme: futuristanbul

A personal mailart project: FUTURISTANBUL
The biggest city in Turkey with a population of about 13 (or 16) million people and increasing each day, Istanbul is celebrating nowadays its year of European Capital of Culture.
How would this historical city look like in 10, 20 or say, a 100 years’ time?
Because I can't promise an exhibition for the time being, I will myself send my images of the city in the future to the mailartists and/or project owners in the world from time to time.
Of course contributions in mail art form are welcome.
Size: Minimum standard postcard (10x15 cm), maximum A4 (21x29 cm).
Technique free. No pornograpy, no offensive images.
All works must be sent by snail mail to:
Kemal Özyurt P.K.407 Sirkeci 34115 Istanbul TURKEY
Please provide your name, surname, nationality and e-mail address.
Received art will be posted at http://www.futuristanbul.blogspot.com/
If realise an exhibition, document to all.

Mail art sent: No Commercial Potential, Italy

No Commercial Potential

My first piece of mailart is lost in the mail maybe forever

Here (below) is what I did write about my first creation in mail-art: http://futuristanbul.blogspot.com/2009/10/first-for-me.html .
Well, seems not arrived at the address until now, it must have been lost in the post, just as it seldom happens to mail anywhere. It might be hiding somewhere, under the postmen's desk or else.

A first for me

The above piece is the first mail-art-work I've ever made and is today mailed to the Second Biennale International of Small Art - Venezuela. Posting cost 0.50 TL and that is all the same for any foreign country. I posted it in an open envelope for the paper is not hard enough to be sent as a single postcard. The piece is smaller than the standard postcard of 10x15 cm and that conforms to the rules of the exhibition. I shall publish this post and show this blog as soon as my work is published in the biennial blog: http://www.bienalvenezuelados.blogspot.com/ . Until then, I hope to have my main PC fixed and write down the regulation for my mail art project FUTURISTANBUL. In one month or so!
