MAIL ART CALL - In memory of the Rape of Nanking

The Rape of Nanking was an infamous war crime committed by the Japanese military in and around the then capital of China, after it fell to the Imperial Japanese Army on December 13, 1937.
The extent of the atrocities is debated between China and Japan. A number of Japanese researchers consider
100,000 – 200,000 to be an approximate value. Other nations usually believe the death toll to be between 150,000 – 300,000.
The International Military Tribunal for the Far East stated that 20,000 (and perhaps up to 80,000) women were raped.

THEME: THE SEA

I invite you to participate in my first and small mail-art projet, which is focused on a theme that I like very much, a theme about which I am, at the same time, keen on and worried about: the sea.
A clean sea, a green sea, a blue sea, a sea without overfishing, a sea for its dwellers, a sea for everybody, a sea to enjoy. No pollution. No exploitation. No globalization.

Deadline: End of November, 2007
Technique: Free
Size: DIN A4 (maximum)
No return. Answer and interchange to everybody.
Send your Works to:
Carlos Botana

Title: Instructional Drawing
Deadline: None
Brief: Using the postal system, please send me a written drawing instruction which involves any media and any technique.
Please send the instruction on a post card sized surface (6x4inch). The drawing instruction can be as detailed or as vague as you wish.
The instruction can contain an image on the post card (i.e an example of the instruction or background image), but must also include a written version of the instruction. Examples of drawing instructions :
Draw a line with a ruler and pencil 10-cm long along the left had side of the drawing surface. OR...
Paint a free hand circle. OR Walk over the drawing surface

Faith
Anyone who would like to participate in this project please email me at this address thefaithproject@yahoo.ca
I’m looking for small portable pieces of artwork – things like decorated tags, stickers, lightweight 3D objects, atc size with hole or sticky back, artwork up to letter paper size but prefer well under half that size.

Theme is faith. What is your faith? Do you have faith? Have you lost your faith? What do you believe in? Images of religious iconography, sacred places, holy relics, etc.

Work will be placed in urban and rural spaces and documented. Artwork will be left outside so will not be returned. If you choose to laminate or otherwise strengthen your piece be sure that it is lightweight as I will be travelling on foot.
There will be an online exhibition of everything received on a blog page (http://thefaithhealer.blogspot.com) and all participants will receive something in the mail.

I will be taking photos of pieces installed – not necessarily detailed shots - so would ask that you send me a jpeg before mailing so that the detail of your piece really can be seen online. Please wait before sending work - Details of where to send work will come later on.
Email to sign up at thefaithproject@yahoo.ca
