Honoring the Shadow
The
Shadow is a psychological term introduced by the late Swiss psychiatrist
Carl Jung. It is everything in us that is repressed, undeveloped and denied,
both dark and light. The shadow represents all that the conscious person
does not wish to acknowledge within themselves. Jung emphasized the importance
of being aware of shadow material and incorporating it into conscious
awareness. Otherwise we project these attributes onto others.
Honor your shadow by giving it visual form.
All mediums are welcome.
Deadline: December 31 2010.
Artworks will be permanently displayed on my website.

From Guido Vermeulen: ALL THAT JAZZ !!! & STILL NO FREEDOM ??? |
This will be the new FRIOUR project. Personally I don't know any music that embodies more the thirst for freedom than jazz music. Jazz includes the notions of improvisations and excitement. It liberated the soul and hearts of many, opened new roads and ways of playing music and listening to music. In recent years I've become a huge jazz fan and became even friends with a few Belgian jazz musicians, attending concerts and festivals as much as I could.
Despite all that jazz there is little room for improvisation in business life, personal life and society as a whole. Do people need a worldwide crisis to be controlled?
Blow all fear away and send your contributions for the next Friour Review issue.
Free medium.
Maximum size: A4. Deadline is 31 December
2010.

Peace!
We like to quote one of the pioneer mail artists Robert Rehfeldt: "Your
idea helps my idea, our ideas help the ideas of others", because
we think that both cooperation and dialogue can generate something new
and beautiful.
Open to all.
This mail art project invites you to find alternative ways to use a postcard.

Media: The Mail Art postcard must be created with one or more photographs
in any way that you like.
On the back please write a short text: a thought, a message, a poem...
The postcard must have a signature, and if possible also your name, so that we can create a list of the participating artists.
The postcard must also contain the written date. Choice of subject is free.
There
will be no selection procedure. Participation is free, but the artist
takes the responsibility that the Mail Art postcard will be correctly
sent through the postal service of his/her own country.
It is possible to send more than one Mail Art postcard or to create a
series reassembled from a single work. Please inform us if you intend
to do so!

final show of all the received postcards, which will be organized in an
