Cardboard Mail Art
International Mail art call
 
I urge all dreamers, utopians, provos, fluxus, cardboard pickers, noise provocateurs, housewives, artists, oiticicaorthodox, coyote tamers, art collectors, art residencies, hippies, nomads, displaced ones, flaneurs, and manolos to join the CARDBOARD MAIL ART CALL. The call consists of sending a piece of cardboard of any size to the address below. The cardboard must be picked from the street, and sent without interventions, must be sent as you found it; if necessary, cut to a size that fits in an envelope and sent to me. However, the envelope may have artistic interference and specifically the name, address and email of the sender. I count on the participation, selflessness, and sensitivity of you all.
 
~ Luiz Fernando Bueno
 
Deadline: March 29, 2013
So selection, no jury, no return.
 
There will be an exhibition somewhere in Brazil of both the cardboard and the envelopes.
The material will become part of the collection of the artist Luiz Fernando Bueno, or possibly of some institution interested in safeguarding it.
 
During the exhibition, photos will be posted on my blog
and, at the end of the event, I will communicate back with the participants.
