Again but Not the Same catalog arrives from Germany

Janus Mail Art catalog "Again but Not the Same" is designed and printed in Berlin, Germany in December 2016. It was the project I contributed with a collage of repetition of horse images I had already made just by the long arm of coincidence at the time of the call.
My thanks to Eberhard Janke, the curating artist of the project for sending me this color catalog. 12.5x21 cm in size, it has 36 pages, covers included. From Turkey the works of the following artists are published in the catalog: Meral Ağar, Mustafa Cevat Atalay, Türkan Elçi, Kemal Özyurt, Hilal Turşoluk, and Ayşe Sıdıka Uğur.
And the new project for 2017 is called: Arti fictional Intelli- Gents.

Mail Art Call from Finland : Funny Face

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

Mail art received to be posted at postboxtomailboxnoplainart.blogspot.com

Date and location of exhibition to be determined.
