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!

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

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!!

 Many thanks, Maya,  for this generous sending. The artistamps created for the sPMATSzine in memory of Clemente Padin, Emilio Morandi, and Ruggero Maggi are beautiful and moving. The additional works for my archive, and the unique calendar remembering Ruggero Maggi, are especially appreciated.

 FROM: Virginia Milici, Italy

a beautiful unique mini book, as an exchange created by Virginia and that became a very successful project, producing a huge collection of interesting original mini books. so happy to have participated! in addition, this envelope brought more gifts, cool art and a vintage postcard, including stickers of the La Strisciona, a very long record breaking strip of art works from international artists and that has been exhibited on tour, another project curated by Virginia. but the surprise were the chily peppers....grown from one of those thick post cards with seeds inside i sent Virgy and that need moisten until the seed germinates to be planted.. and voilà my plate of delicious spaghetti ' aglio, olio e peperoncino..

Thank you very much, Virgy!
