From the Heart: III International Mail Art Call, Móstoles 2022, Spain

DE CORAZÓN • FROM THE HEART

III International Mail Art Call

With truth, security and affection: FROM THE HEART. The heart as the centre. The heart as a driving force. The heart as a motor. The heart as a value. When falsehood, uncertainty and resentment try to triumph excessively in our daily lives, our best weapon (soul) beats strongly in our chest and it is enough to listen and dance to its personal rhythm, with our hearts in our hands.

USTED ESTÁ AQUÍ · YOU ARE HERE

II Convocatoria Internacional de Arte Postal · II International Mail Art Call

BASES OF THE CALL (english) 

The YOU ARE HERE icon marks our location, places us in a certain space or place. It tells us about places and our relationship with them, but also about our existence, our emotions, our human and emotional relationships, our relationship with the world and the people who inhabit it, the physical and the virtual,... at a vital moment in which the idea of distance and the idea of location have to be rethought, walking forward. YOU ARE HERE and so are we.

Mailart arrives from Antonia Mayol Castello, Spain

Break through the dark

a bright trail;

advances and is consumed

its long wandering gleam.

I follow the light that flees

like a moth to clarity;

that beat overwhelms me

In the empty vastness

In that instant I understand

the smallness of my world;

my fragile body, in the dark,

It is an aimless speck

CALENDULA:

Warm color,

smell in the hands,

sun essence.

Forest (photography).

Thank you Antonia.

New Year greeting cards from Antonia Mayol Castello, Spain

Periplo

Inside me

in the dark vastness

unattainable.

Ascending,

eclipsing planets,

satellites and asteroids.

I observe,

subtle star lights,

the rhythmic flickering of the pulsars.

And finally, I dissolve myself

in nothing ambiguous

of a black hole.

Thank you Antonia.

Best wishes for 2020.
