Does anyone know where we can find photos of the exhibitions?
I always like to see the shows, since I can't make a visit.
Did anyone post any on facebook or instagram?

Thanks for the info Bill.
Curious, I found the Jan 9th entry very interesting.
This facebook entry gives the dates and times of the exhibition.
What's so curious, it's also the closing date of the show?
Curious, Curious, Curious!

Hello Maria:
I've looked and looked and I have never found any pictures on-line of the two exhibitions listed in the mail art call, and of the 153 artists like you who sent work, I've never seen and pictures of the work posted as promised. So much for documentation?

Wake up people, this show/exhibition didn't have an on-line component or presence, and it didn't have a in-person physical presence either. It was a faux-exhibition.

Sender Beware is right.

Tony
There is only one person who can give you the answers to the questions you have about this call.
His email address is robertoscala@inwind.it
Ask him and hopefully you will get a response to your inquiries.

Has anyone besides Rebekka raised concerns about how this mail art call and exhibition were conducted on the IUOMA web site?
Queen or King seems to be getting a big thumbs down.

Queen or King was never completed to my satisfaction, and he's started a new call for Maurizio Cattelan.
Why do people continue to submit stuff to this guy?
What's he doing with the mail art he receives?
Something stinks like 3 day old fish.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Great sentiments Sophia.
I agree completely, I won't be supporting calls from Roberto Scala ever again, and I won't be sending mail art to his latest mail art call.
He has some work to do, he must publish all the works he received for Queen or King on his social media as he promised.
I hope people read these comments and boycott his latest call.
Because he has made a fool out of us all.
Marco
Hello Patrizia/TicTac
Very interesting post you have here with documentation sent from Roberto Scala.
I would very much like to see your mail art works that you sent to this exhibition,
but I noticed you did not include any links to facebook or instagram in your blog post.
Would also like to see pictures of exhibition, may be he will send you some, and you can post them on your blog for all to see.

Mail Art Rules
Any person with access to a mailbox can participate in the postal network and exchange free artworks, and each mail artist is free to decide how and when to answer (or not answer) a piece of incoming mail. Participants are invited by network members to take part in collective projects or unjuried exhibitions in which entries are not selected or judged. While contributions may be solicited around a particular theme, work to a required size, or sent in by a deadline, mail art generally operates within a spirit of "anything goes."
The mail art philosophy of openness and inclusion is exemplified by the "rules" included in invitations (calls) to postal projects: a mail art show has no jury, no entry fee, there is no censorship, and all works are exhibited. The original contributions are not to be returned and remain the property of the organizers, but a catalogue or documentation is sent free to all the participants in exchange for their works. Although these rules are sometimes stretched, they have generally held up for four decades, with only minor dissimilarities and adjustments, like the occasional requests to avoid works of explicit sexual nature, calls for projects with specific participants, or the recent trend to display digital documentation on blogs and websites instead of personally sending printed paper to contributors.

Anybody remember the mail art call by Zlatko Krstevski for Kopernikus 550?
Another mail art call that has disappeared into a black hole.
Anyone have any information about this call?
No information available on his facebook page, www.facebook.com/krstevski.zlatko
Doesn't answer his email vizant@mt.net.mk
Another one who hasn't provided any documentation for participation in his mail art exhibitions.

Indeed I remember this and I submitted mail art to it, and also have heard nothing back.
The Copernicus World Mail Art Show 2023 / 2nd EXHIBITION ■

open call The Copernicus World Mail Art Show 2023 / 2nd EXHIBITION
description
The idea of the project : is the popularization of Nicolaus Copernicus's works. It's aimed that each participant of the project is to reflect on the multi-layered background of his work, and how it has been and is being read by the world of science, philosophy, and art. The project's authors believe that 2023 has been a very surprising year that we also celebrate the 550th anniversary of Nicolaus Copernicus's birthday.

Sender Beware
If the mail art call is vague about dates or locations of exhibitions, or what documentation of the show the curator will produce, don't send your mail art, but start asking questions.
If they can't answer your questions, then you know you made the right decision not to send your mail art.
Marco
Monty Cantsin is not pleased with the lack of mail art etiquette that is happening!

How does the artist Maurizio Cattelan feel about someone using his name to screw people over,
by asking them to submit art to a rip off never going to happen exhibition?
Francisco
good luck Roberto let us know how your project goes.
Any updates on how it is progressing?
and good luck to the mail artists who send you their mail art!

Se fossi in te, Roberto Scala, inizierei a fotografare e scansionare la mostra di mail art Queen or King e la pubblicherei immediatamente sui tuoi account social.

As a sign of solidarity and protest only send him blank cards for now. all white or all black.
In segno di solidarietà e di protesta inviategli d'ora in poi solo cartoline bianche di mail art, tutte bianche o tutte nere.
Paulo
In mail art, there are very few rules. However, most mail art projects have these similarities:
No money exchanges hands. In general, mail art is exchanged between artists, not bought and sold. There aren’t usually fees involved to participate in mail art projects.
Mail art is given freely, without the expectation of something in return.
No judgements are made about the artwork or its quality. You get what you get.
Once the envelope has been dropped into the mail, forget about it.
It's over, just forget about it and move on, lesson learned, no one is forcing you to send him more mail art.
Patrizio
So where can I find the Queen or King exhibition mail art pictures posted?
Mark
Su quale account di social media troverò le immagini della mostra di mail art The Queen o King?
