Collage: expressing emotions
Collage is an artistic expression that offers a verbal means of self-expression, an excellent way to stimulate creativity and spatial organization.
The purpose of this call for entries is to assemble a collection of Mail Art on the theme of “Collage: expressing emotions” for purposes deemed appropriate, such as exhibitions and contributions to studies, theses, and articles, without any economic rights on the part of the artists invited to participate.

What is a child? what does a child do?
We are a group of preschool teachers in a small Italian town, and we would like to raise awareness in the school community about mail art, understood both as an art form and as a broader form of communication. We would like to collect contributions from artists and non-artists who can tell us what a child means to them. What does the world of childhood evoke? What memories does a child bring to mind?

What a theater! ■
Why this Mail Art-call?
Quite simply because we love and appreciate theater. We encounter theater every day e.g., in everyday situations or in idioms that refer to it like “All the world’s a stage”, “to get the show on the road”, “to wait in the wings”, “to steal the show”, “What a drama!” etc. So we encounter “theater” in our everyday lives, and often it makes us smile.
The city of Schweinfurt is one of the lucky operators of a theater building. It is a guest theater and thus offers many different ensembles the opportunity to present themselves to a theater-loving audience through a wide variety of plays.
There are no limits to the joy of experimentation, which can also be borderline for individual spectators.
Schweinfurt has a long theater tradition, first documented in 1572 with the performance of “Comedy of the Last Judgment”.
The venues have changed frequently over the years.
In 1966, a new theater building opened on Roßbrunnstrasse. It was designed by the architect of Prof. Erich Schellig, with a polygonal ground plan and cubistic superstructures. A large staircase connects the theater building with the Châteaudun Park.
All in all, the building looks different in all sides.
Inside we find a piece of art of Gustl G. Kirchner with a turquoise wall in spatula technique; in the staircase Günther Zirkelbach created a relief with cut plasterboards; Prof. Karl Dahmen dedicated himself to the large 130 square meter wall with a dispersion spatula technique. He was an important representative of Tachism. His work is considered a major work of German Informel. The stage designer Trude Karrer designed the hanging light sculpture in the auditorium.
The indirect lighting in this room is also impressive. Its wal, cover with pyramid bodies shining out of themselves, some of which are gilded, creates a wonderful atmosphere. And so it could go on for a long time to describe our beautiful theater.
Since 1973 there have been puppet play day, in regularly recurring intervals. Uwe Brockmüller regularly exhibited parts of his puppet collection in glass showcases.
Thus, one could get an impression of the variety of different puppet theaters — especially in the Asian region.
Our theater will be completely renovated. For this reason, we started this Mail Art-call. We are curious how and what is perceived as theater and what individuals associate with it.
The submitted postcards will be exhibited as part of a mail art installation.

[e]mailart
do consider what [e]mailart is and could be. consider what's the difference between merely sending a simple attachment or image as an email body or otherwise sending a real piece of art that uses all the capacity of what embodies the digital world and the ancient email technology and protocols.
can a mere attachment be considered a work of art? or should we explore something that resides in the body of the email and is changeable and unique and unable to subsist in any other medium than that?
alternatively, you may also submit some words, your point of view on the matter, or even an essay regarding the "digital world vs mailart vs [e]mailart vs art".
any questions regarding the open call should not be sent to us by email as they won't be replied to.
thanks for your contribution. all valid [e]mailart will be gathered and presented primarily on its digital form and support and eventually within a catalog.
for more open calls, please head to www.mailart.pt and check all documentation available.
