2017 Mail Art Call: Funny Face

For generations artists have depicted the human face to commemorate, analyze, criticize, document, ridicule, disassemble and re-order the appearance of others, as well as themselves.

As a tool for social communication, facial appearances transmit information about people’s social status, ethnicity, gender and age, register emotions and provide clues as to how they have been treated by life.

The face’s expressive capabilities also transmit details regarding one’s personality, mental state and intentions. Its appearance can also be controlled to hide those very same things. Moreover, how we interpret the appearance of others is a very subjective process that depends on the individual’s mindset. First impressions are often very unreliable.

For this call please send work via post that deals with any aspect of the human face, be it whimsical, absurd, amusing, deviant, unprecedented, foolish, curious, creepy, unearthly, puzzling, weird, poignant, pareidolic, beautiful, fleeting, detached, penetrating, mysterious…..

Open to all media/techniques – maximum size: letter/A4 – deadline: 31 July, 2017 – no fees – no jury – no offensive images – no returns

Catalog of the project "Masks" from Chrystobal, Belgium

This almost A4 sized (20.7x29.6 cm) color catalog has 32 pages with the list of participants. The "Masks" project received mailart by 106 artists from 26 countries. Although a note says "some of the mail-art arrived damaged due to bad weather conditions", is also read that "all contributions will be exhibited at the National Championship for Philately 2016 in Roeselare, Belgium, on 10,11, and 12 June 2016. Info at www.westfila2016.be".
My contribution card to the project had a couple of used stamps added which seem to be missing according to the image in the catalog possibly due to the aforesaid conditions.
My thanks to Chrystobal for sending me this inspiring book of mail art.
