Journal Of Field Study International, Field Report 2025 nr.32

The 32nd edition of Field Report is a heartfelt tribute to Ruggero Maggi, one of the great figures of Mail Art. Thanks to David's relentless dedication and enthusiasm, this annual publication continues to connect artists across continents, celebrating the generosity and creative exchange that have always defined the Mail Art network. As always, this edition is filled with thoughtful, diverse, and inspiring contributions.

Many thanks, David!

VISPO International, Issue 2, is another outstanding publication, bringing together a rich variety of visual poetry, thought provoking articles, and original contributions from artists around the world. Guided by the expertise and endless enthusiasm of the unstoppable Vittore Baroni, it continues to be an inspiring platform for experimental art. and I'm very happy to have one of my works included!!

Thank you very much, Vittore!

From the envelope to the collages, the texts.. humour branches out into a maze of micro stories that never lets you stop smiling. There is always something new to discover.. a drawing, a joke, an unexpected observation. David has the rare ability to make everyday life wonderfully absurd without ever losing its warmth.

Thank you very much, David!

FROM: David Stone, USA

I always feel privileged to receive one of David's poetry books. This latest one, L'Flaneur, with cover art by Cheryl Penn, is another fascinating collection. David's poetry never follows an obvious path. Instead, it drifts through unexpected images and ideas, inviting the reader to wander rather than search for a single meaning.

Thank you very much, David!

A calendar beginning with July, wishing me a "Happy Half Year!" It made me smile. Funny, simple, and very Fluxus. Beltran's work is always brilliant!

Many thanks, Beltran!

 FROM: Lancillotto Bellini, Italy

Always so nice to receive Lancillotto's beautiful postcards with his elaborations of iconic people portraits.

Thank you very much, Lancillotto!

FROM: Carlo Vedova, Italy 

 

Life at the school where Carlo teaches and introduces his students to Mail Art. I think it's a wonderful way to stimulate creativity and open their minds to a broader idea of art and communication. Here are some postcards and a small book made by students of the Istituto Comprensivo di Mezzacorona, along with a small but very interesting diary of disciplinary notes documenting some episodes from school life.

Thank you very much, Carlo!

'keep on assembling'....like a quiet mantra for hands and hearts at work. Vittore reminds us that creation doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to continue.....piece by piece, page by page, we build something shared. The CD has 13 tracks, songs in various musical styles...country, rock, pop, jazz, balad....

it is a ri😁t! love it!

In the world of assembling zines and mail art, the joy lives in the doing, the exchanging, the connecting. ...so keep it moving, keep it playful and keep on assembling!!

Many thanks, Vittore!!

Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group

This site contains several years of research in the classification of occlupanids. These small objects are everywhere, dotting supermarket aisles and sidewalks with an impressive array of form and color. The Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group has taken on the mantle of classifying this most common, yet most puzzling, member of phylum Plasticae.

Many thanks, nonlocal!!

 FROM: Helmut King, Austria

in addition to these fab contributions for the Zine in a Box project and postcards of the Cigarette People.

I also received his beautiful book: Cigarettebox People, works which hover between sculpture, totem, illustration, and reliquary, in glazed wooden boxes.
