Dear friends and participants, I am very sorry to announce that Polish Post was striking again. I did not receive any mail for almost 2 weeks. Now, they seem to be working again. Hope none of the works got lost. Below you have 3 new contributions from France Uruguay and Spain... Sincerely, Teodor

Dear Isabelle, I am going to ask you about this in a postcard, but i will use the blog as well. It seems that your work lost something on its way from France to me - the stamp. Did you by any chance scanned your work before sending it to me? If yes can you send me your scan for the archive? If not, do you think you could send me the exact stamp you've used on this work, so that i could put it back?;)
While having the technical problems i mentioned before, i kept browsing the intnet, and i found a number of similar projects. One was an older project by Zenon from Spain.
It was a mail-art self portrait project on a very specific media... on old CD! You can see the documentation on the web page above. I wrote to Zenon and asked him to bring his project to the exhibition I am planning. I hope we could unify our projects... So it is quite interesting that I got this CD-selfportrait from Isabelle just now!;)
Therere is also another ongoing project of Ruud Janssen, here it is. Ruud is asking for photographs of mail artists:
I am sorry. I had some technical problems. I couldn't log on. Now they seem to be solved. I will post very soon the works i got to this moment! The project is still on...;)
