Call for Mail Art

Museo {i}menos is launching a call for mail art for its official inauguration on AUGUST 8th 2006. The site for the inauguration is to be determined closer to the opening date. The site will be from the geographic center of the Rio Grande Valley and the bordering Frontera Tamaulipas.

We have been collecting Mail Art from all over the world to be exchanged for Art from The Rio Grande Valley, TX and the bordering Frontera Tamaulipas .

365 Openings… is a Mail Art Exhibit pulling from Mail Art's Eternal Network. RGV and Front Tamps residents can exchange their own Mail Art and postage for original Mail Art from around the globe, during the event. This is an exhibit that truly belongs to the people. It is our goal here to create art correspondence with this area and the rest of the world for future collaboration. It is free and fair trade/exchange of culture and ideas. It is a globalization from below .

As is the case with mail art: no juries, no fees, no returns, & no social control!

DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED TO ALL WHO PARTICIPATE.

Deadline: JULY 28th, 2006

Museo {i}menos is a different kind of museum without walls, formal attire or admission fees. We pop up wherever we can and even in some places that we can not. Museo {i}menos is a work of art. We are an independent arts museum currently developing mail art and stencil art events, collections and workshops (but many more independent arts exist and need to be included). Our goal is to make art public and the only real way to do that is to have the public produce its own art. It is only through active participation that art becomes truly public.
