| Correspondence Co-op Meeting German journalist, Meike Winnemuth, second from right, visited the group's meeting Wednesday night and wrote about mailart in her blog: Wait A Minute, Mr Postman Guess what? I'm on there along with pictures of some of my mail art. Now, if only I could read the German. Can anyone translate for me? (I translated it on-line and one of the lines is I am an "unauthentic" mail artist - something got lost in translation) Check it out -- very fun. |

| Mail artists hanging out -- we came, we cut, we pasted, we socialized, we drank wine, we traded supplies and addresses. We had fun. |

| Ray Johnson mailart wine -- who knew? Labels by Jennie H. of Red Letter Day and co-author of the Good Mail Day book. |

| My mailart going out (the same mail as pictured on the German link) |

| Like You can LIKE Cappuccino and Art Journal on FaceBook if you want. (But I'd rather get comments here on the blog) As I told Meike yesterday, mail art is a lot of fun! SEND A LETTER -- GET A LETTER! |
omments are always nice! I was actually thinking of copying your little group locally, but we'll see!
ReplyDeleteGreat article. I don't have time to translate right now, but the word you are referring to can be translated as inauthentic, but not in this context. It's tough to find an appropriate English counterpart though. The closest I could come is 'figurative', but I don't think that's right in this context either.
ReplyDeletePamela: I just love seeing your snaps -- like little bite sized pieces of SF action! You captured the essence of last night's get-together quite nicely: commraderie, correspondence, and cookies! :-) Thank you so much for being your fantastic self...
ReplyDeleteDear Pamela,
ReplyDelete"eigentlich Fotografin und uneigentlich Mail Artist"
is an untranslable german pun, it´s mean cca:
your main profession is photograph, the other one is mail-artist.
Many many thanks your lovely comments and the following my blog. All the Best: Susanna
Thanks, everyone. Always great to hear from all of you....and thanks for help with translation Christine and Susannia....
ReplyDeleteAnd man, the power of the press, the blog had over 800 views after Meike's story appeared.
Glad you are having fun and getting to meet other mail artists in person!
