working worlds
Theme: Hommage to Harry Martinson. Fuhrmann meets Bergmann: Thorsten Fuhrmann, Huglfing, Germany, and Ottmar Bergmann, Gylsboda Art-Center, Sweden, invite you to take part in the Mailart project "working worlds“. "Men in slouch-hats grew up out of the ground. Wherever we children went to play, stony precipices opened out before them, dark and crawling with men carrying dynamite in their hands. Their mouths were full of oaths and songs and tremendous affirmations.There was a thundering about the lives of these men. They moved about downthere in those stony ravines like the brigands of the Rockies. They bored with iron rods into the rock, drove them down with the sledge-hammers, and then fired. "Blasting"!" they yelled, and clung together on the ledge. Then there was a roar below, and all the buildings of the settlement trembled. It was like this very day all day. Everywhere was forbidden ground.Everywhere the landscape was split up. hollowed out. Stone-pits yawned in the woods. There was a smell of coal-dust and oil, and steam from the winches hung in a cloud round the winch-sheds.!"(Harry Martinson)

SVIYAZHSK. RENAISSANCE OF ISLAND-CITY Theme:
On the basis of this mail-art project lies the story of Sviyazhsk island-city which is situated in the picturesque mouth of the river Sviyaga on the high hill not far from Kazan, capital of Tatarstan. Not big territory of the island changed for ages the events connected with important moments of Russian history. Sviyazhsk was pagan, orthodox, revolutionary, GULAG. Every period left its marks on the island. Today’s renascence of the city-island is a mark of penitence, respect of contemporaries to own culture no matter how it was. Sviyazhsk of today we can call the place of pray (here goes active reconstruction of old churches and monasteries), the place of art (it is a favorite place of rest and work of painters), the place of songs (in May 2011 the first festival of chamber chorus will pass here), the place of tourism (all conditions for comfort visit of the island for tourists from the whole world are made).
Format: no limits.
Media: free.
Documentation to every participant.
Exhibitions: June 2011 (first stage) and June 2012 (second stage), Exhibition Hall, Kazan.
Curators of the project: Valery Shimanovsky and Irina Mitryushkina.

The Call:

LISTS
Theme: The Museum of Instant Images invites you to participate in the Mail Art project on the theme of "lists". The essential nature of lists, poets who list things in their works and painters who accumulate things in their paintings. ... Umberto Eco: The list is the origin of culture. It's part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order -- not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, through collections in museums and through encyclopedias and dictionaries. We also have completely practical lists -- the shopping list, the will, the menu -- that are also cultural achievements in their own right...
To accomplish Eco's infinity of lists, send me your own list, accumulation, enumeration, collection, series, account or frame, etc. in text and image.

The Wise Monkeys
Theme: The emblem of the City of Chauny (Aisne - France) depicts The Wise Monkeys. The origin of the monkeys of Chauny is rather unclear. Some local historians thought that they represented the tumblers, jugglers and trainers of diverse animals which were established in the brotherhood to Chauny. Rabelais, who certainly saw the jugglers of Chauny, speaks about them in Gargantua.
This project is opened to all.
Technique: free. All techniques are accepted.
Size: 21 cm X 30 cm, bound support (able to be bound in a book).
You must represent your vision of the "monkeys of wisdom".
You can use the back of your work to write a biography or information concerning yourself.
Exhibition: An exhibition of the received works will take place in the cultural center of Chauny, the Forum, at the beginning of the year on 2011. The precise dates of exhibition will be posted on our blog. At the conclusion of the exhibition the works will be manually bound by "E" to create artists' books which will be given to schools and media libraries of the region. The works will also have a second life in an itinerant exhibition in 2011. The works will not be sent back to the artists and will remain the property of "E" for the other itinerant exhibitions …
Documentation: We will post the received works on our blog and provide information on the progress of the project. Http://expositionsingeschaunois.blogspot.com/

From David Medalla:
How to Participate - London Biennale
ARROWS

When I conceived the London Biennale, I thought of the simplest way artists from all over the world could register for free as members of the London Biennale: and this is thus: for every artist to make an arrow of any material and of any size and to have the words "London Biennale" (and date of each biennale, e. g., 2002, 2004 or 2006) together with the artist's name inscribed on the arrow, and for three copies of a photograph (or collage, photomontage, or digital image) of the artist with the arrow and the statue of Eros at Piccadilly Circus to be sent to me. This one requirement for registering for free in the London Biennale is mentioned in the first letter I sent to various artists and to Harald Szeemann, director of the Venice Biennale, Rene Block, formerly director of the Istanbul Biennial , and Isabel Carlos, currently director of the Sydney Biennial. It was mentioned in several press articles announcing the beginning of the London Biennale. Press items about the start of the London Biennale appeared in Art Forum (New York), Flash Art (Milano), the Art Newspaper (London) and the news bulletin of Salle de Bains (Rotterdam).

Other news items appeared in articles in various parts of the world. The Eros statue is a long-standing icon of London. Eros is the god of Love. The arrow signifies both movement and direction, and could symbolise a different thing for each and every artist. In my case, the arrow's trajectory defines the imaginary and real path to creative transcendance.

Many artists who wish to participate in the London Biennale cannot personally come to London due to various reasons. Making the arrow and sending their photos to me mean they become bona fide members of the London Biennale. Artists living abroad, including those who far from London in the English countryside, are therefore able to organise events and exhibitions directly linked to the London Biennale through their personal Eros-Arrows. This has happened several times already and continue to happen in many parts of the world.

I hope this information makes it clear for London Biennale artists the origin of the idea of the arrow and its reason for being and becoming.

Best wishes, everyone!
