The spirit of mail art is the total freedom.

Freedom of creation,ideas,concepts,limits,materials, techniques. Therefore,in substance of mail art is doesn`t have juries,it doesn`t have prizes r any type of classifications. At time,it is suggested to mail artists a subject,as it is the case. But given such freedom,all the proposals are respected and admitted. Also it was and it is the case.

The heading considered to the mail artists “Travelling/Viagens” was chose to try to translate the subject and the spirit of EUROLINE project. EUROLINE is an European Project supported for the Program Culture 2000 of The European Commission,with nine transnational partners,whose primary aim is toe create a line of cultural communication between as many countries and as wide a range of people as possible,including with social disadvantage and deficiency to work creatively in a series of challenging and exciting artists activities and events.

 

In result of all the invitations sent, it had answers coming from the 5 continents, on the part of 409 artists, representing 33 nationalities, in a total of 531 displayed works. In this genre of artists expression, the exhibition surely represents one of the carried through greaters already in Portugal, presented in the Museu Do Carro Electrico for the last three weeks of October 2002.

The event was organised by the Associacao Portuguese de Paralisa Cerebral(APPC) in Porto, who have previous experience in this form of art, in full connection with the EUROLINE partnership.

v.a.-Mail Music Project by Nicola Frangione Collective Work-(Armadio Officina Audio Editions-Italy-1983)

In the spirit of the Mail Art movement of the 1980s comes the Mail Music project. Collecting 47 sound art samples sent in from around the world, Nicola Frangione compiles them together in a pastiche manner similar to the Distruct LP compiled by P16.D4. Each side is one continuous track and the individual sound submissions which are approximately 1 - 1.5 minutes long, overlap giving the impression of collage work. This was a time when DIY was flourishing and the result is captured beautifully here. Only a few of the artists are well known: Maurizio Bianchi, Vittore Baroni, P16.D4, Masami Akita, Naif Orchestra. But don't let that put you off. This is one of the best compilations in the vein of whacked / experimental music to come out of the 1980s. In a numbered, limited edition of 1000, this LP is very hard to find today.(from Mutant Sounds blog)click me
