No. 905 - arriving mail art from Luis Filipe Gomes (Portugal)


















No. 905 - arriving mail art from Luis Filipe Gomes (Portugal) - this is infact an outstanding sending, it came as registred letter, but already opened, I hope nothing is missing. Inside a wonderful artistbook full of creativity, lovely sketches, drawings, collages, historical wisdom about Portugal and his culture, statements and influences of Luis. And lots about Bismarck too as you can see her, other pages you can see on my other blog. The booklet has about 200 pages !!! each of them an artwork on its own. I can not post all of them, you have to see the booklet in your own hand and it will simply kick you out. Thank you for this very special and flabbergasting mail art.

... another critic on the mail art exhibition ...


another slight critic to the exhibition you can read here, which says more or less:

"Mail Art Bismarck has brought a variety of dazzling interpretations, but hardly any serious (even critical) effort on the historical acclaim of this person. what a pitty. Peter Martin from Gräfendorf"

o.k. I suppose he has not spent so much time in the exhibition, because there is even a whole showcase which is about the historical acclaims of Bismarck, and even critical. far beyond that, you can find in any other showcase and installation lots of interpretation about his political efforts, but you have to look intense, there are more than a thousand images to see, maybe he has not seen the wood for the trees... what a pitty that he has seen all that.

... critic visitor today ...


here a critic to the mail art exhibition which says more or less:

"all rubbish, all dirt,

bomb it away.

it is boring and many objects

have nothing to do with Bismarck,

all this paper snips I can do by myself

a female visitor"


o.k. this is her cowardly opinion, she did not wrote her name, so I was forced to write "coward" underneath. Interesting to mention also: the museum opened at 14 o'clock, I came along about 14.20 and nobody has been in the museum so she must have been left already, she went to the museum for a maximum of 20 minutes to look around, not only for the exhibition, but she got time to write these lousy sentence inside the guestbook, no more to say,. anyway she could have do sniping, right at the table where this guestbook is laying there a pencils and the Takako pot to modify, but she does not...
