The laughing Cow - Project

About the project

La vache qui rit, The Laughing Cow, Die lachende Kuh, البقرة الضاحكة, Veselá kráva, Krówka Śmieszka, La vaca que ríe, A vaca que ri,Văcuța veselă, Весела Корівка, Весёлая Бурёнка, Den Skrattande Kon, Den leende ko, Η Αγελάδα που Γελά, Gülen İnek, 乐芝牛, 笑牛牌, Ilay omby vavy mifaly, ラフィングカウ, La Mucca che ride, Con Bò Cười, Sapi Ceria... Do you know her?

I like sending and getting postcards made of these little boxes of spreadable wedges of cheese. I have received only one so far. I know it is not the best cheese in the world (but it is still good). It is just... well, I confess I am in love of this cheerful bright red cow. So I would be utterly happy if you could send one of these to me, as a postcard (better) or in an envelope. I would like collect one or more than one from every country. Difficult? I hope not!

And the reward? Ok, you'd have eaten a great cheese sandwich. Isn't it enough? And you could be proud to have been so kind. And I will be grateful forever. And besides this I will send you some snail mail in return, from Morocco or from Spain. A letter, a postcard or a mail art work (as you wish). 

Please, consider have a cheese sandwich for tea today! Contact me if you want to help me in this project.

Because this project is lo-fi in nature, please feel free to send your photos or drawings printed on plain printer paper. It will be good enough for me to scan and post to the blogspot.
If you'd prefer to print on photo paper, please feel free to do so. If you prefer sending a jpg, you can send it to: liketelevisionsnow (at) gmail.com, but because this is a mailart project, please send a print in the mail if you can.

IUOMA 25 years projects - Overview

If you want to start your own project, it is best to start your won discussion to tell the others what you are going to do. That way every member that starts an exhibition has his/her own discussion on the exhibition. It is also to choose the "Add a Page" option, and create your own page for that exhibition. You could even document the results completely on that Page. I will start my own project somewhere soon. Will be a surprise.

Mail Art for Environment - USA

Tamara Tornado

Mail art for the environment-and food safety
Please send mail art to President Obama, and your senators, to repeal the Monsanto Protection Act.
Any size, any medium. Please make the message clear.
Please send this week!

President Obama 
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW 
Washington, DC 20500

You can also direct postal correspondence to your senators as follows:
The Honorable (Name)
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510

Sample letter:

Dear President Obama,
I urgently request that you repeal the Monsanto Protection Act. I am outraged that the so-called “farmer assurance provision”, Section 735, currently included in HR 933, was not struck from the Continuing Resolution spending bill passed by Congress this past March.
It’s time for Congress to reject the corporate takeover of our food supply! I'm asking you to repeal the Monsanto Protection Act, Section 735 of H.R. 933 and block any other amendment or provision that would limit state or local elected officials from effectively governing food and agriculture at the local level. Don’t let Monsanto, biotech lobbyists or Congress short circuit the growing grassroots movement to label GMOs at the state level.
Please protect the American people, our Constitution and our farmers and repeal the Monsanto Protection Act. It's time to put America's farmers and the health of our nation's citizens over corporate profits.
Sincerely, 
[Your Name]

You want documentation? Why not scan your art and post it here before you send it!
Mother Earth thanks you!

Guido d'Arezzo (991 - 1050)

Artistically a mail art score
International mail art project by Angela Caporaso

 It was Guido d'Arezzo (991 - 1050) who developed the system of musical notation introducing the modern principle of stave. The stave used by Guido included only four lines and was therefore called the tetragram.
  The invention of the pentagram instead is attributed to Ugolino da Orvieto. Its name comes from the Greek words, penta, five, and gramma, line. The pentagram is the set of 5 parallel horizontal lines and four spaces between them, on which you write notes and signs of break. This system is in use since 500.
At the beginning of the pentagram usually you put a key, which, providing the position of a determined note, fixes the position of all the others.
More staves can be hold by a single score. The method of the score began to stand out at the middle of the 500 contextually with the development of the orchestral music. So, the score  is a graphical representation of a music of different simultaneous vocal and instrumental parts.

To take part in this project
1) Download the picture : score.pdf (site:http://unapartituraartistica.altervista.org)

2) process it with any figurative technique, drawing, collage, painting, etc.
3) Send to : Angela Caporaso - via Roma 117  - 81100 Caserta - Italia

Deadline 30/ 6 /2014

The works will not be returned, they will be included in the website:
