DATED MAILART CALLS last updated August 27, 2008
Selection for inclusion on this page is based upon a number of criteria. I have instituted a general review of the calls on this page purely as a means to aid those new initiates who have little or no experience with mailart. Some of the considerations that I use are if the call is targeted at visual art, whether the work will be exhibited, if there will be documentation, and if there is a known history of coordinating. If you like to explore, submit to any call purely for the sake of play and with no expectations.
one perf - unknown or insufficient information given two perfs - may lack some of the qualities of a complete call three perfs - good call four perfs - known coordinator, or with artistamp history five perfs - exceptional
If you have a call that you wish to have considered for listing here and it includes: a deadline to be received, an exhibition in a public space and mailed documentation for participants, please send it to me at the following address and include “mail art call” in the subject line. Listing is not automatic.

Joan Brossa’s poetic magic (four perfs) Theme: Send us your little hommage to the Catalan artist Joan Brossa, commemorating the tenth anniversary of his death. ”If I couldn’t write, I’d be a warrior in the euphoric times, and a magician in the passive ones. Being a poet includes both of them.” Joan Brossa. J. Brossa incorporates two of the fundamental traditions of the modern poetry, in the way Octavio Paz defined it on ‘Los hijos del Limo’ (Limo’s children), in 1974: “Magic and politics, secretic tradition and revolutionary tradition. Joan Brossa always compared magic and illusionism with poetry. He fought against everything that repressed the desires of spiritual and material freedom.” Size: 12x18 cm maximum Organized by Comicactiva S.C.G. and GONG defending human rights. Every work of art will be exhibited on the 10th “Somriure per Chiapas” (Smile for Chiapas) in Pineda de Mar, El Maresme. Deadline to be received: October 4, 2008
