Trier, Marc Aurel and the World: International Call for Mail Art, Trier 2025

Hello dear friends all over the world! 
Thank you very much for your numerous submissions. We were delighted to receive your beautiful, original, funny, unusual and artistic cards. 
And yes, the campaign is still running and you can send in more cards - even if you've already entered. For the sake of simplicity, we'll put our first invitation below again. 
Join in and be part of it when all entries are shown in several exhibitions in Trier in the summer and fall. 
We will provide more information about this later. Incidentally, our mail art campaign is part of the official program of the major state exhibition in Rhineland-Palatinate, which is dedicated to Marcus Aurelius as a philosopher. Above all, however, it shows Marcus Aurelius as a war emperor, an unexpectedly topical subject in our present day. And: the famous Porta Nigra in Trier also goes back to his idea of fortifying the important cities in the Roman Empire. 
International Call for Mail Art 
Topic: Trier, Marc Aurel and the World 
Marc Aurel, the great Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher from the 2nd century AD. 
Today, his texts are more modern, up-to-date, popular and inspiring than ever. 
What: Art on postcards. All techniques are allowed. 
All positions on the topic are welcome: History, society, war, nature, ecology, philosophy, politics, religion, Trier ... 
How: Participation is open to everyone. There are no entry fees and no returns. 
The postcards must be accepted, stamped and sent by the post office of the respective country. 
The entries will be shown in several exhibitions during the major exhibition on Marcus Aurelius in Trier. 
If you have already sent a card: Thank you for taking part. If you feel like it, you are welcome to send more cards. We would be delighted.

Lutz also added three pieces of the special artistamp with my contributing work on it. He has a new mail art project for this year (2024) as well: "Dreamland".

Anachronism by Birgitta Volz, India

Birgitta sent this amazing card from India for the Anachronism project.
It seeems to be an interior scene from a shopping mall or else.
And the same image upside down below:
A couple dancing on the ceiling. Great!
Could that be a dummy couple hung out there?
I should apply the label "photo-collage" to this work,
otherwise impossible to explain the scene.
More of Birgitta's work on birgittavolz.de
Thank you Birgitta.

Postcard arrives from Stephan J. Mitterwieser, Germany

Haven't been receiving much mailart lately, no wonder because I can't send any, busy with some health problems. How nice to get a painted postcard from a new mail artist! Thank you Stephan. The Bauhaus building on the stamp, the penguin-like figures, the stitching and the lively colors of the postcard are all refreshing.

Thank you Lars and the collaborating artists.
