<HTML>Edgar is NO MAIL-ART. It is an organisation in Germany that issues those free postcards with advertisings.

Edgar did however do ONE mail-art project in which they asked for designs to publish. The participants received a bunch of those cards, and therefore they are now circling in the mail-art network</HTML>

<HTML>Excellent description of facts!

"Edgar set up some 700.00 postcards of incidenteliy choosed
mailartistas (me too) from Suisse, America, Australia, Germoney, and
.... that had sent some to this (now nearely dead)
advertising concern.

Initiating this kind of chance for free art had been one mailartist.
(der Zwerg - the Dwarf) - no faker!!! what had been his name?
uh I will remember tomorrow he gave excellent printetd catalogues
back for his invitations! ....

I saw my postcards in every pub and caffe?s around here and
those of my mailartfriends from Australia, America and so on.

And I collected its in this time and sent them to the foreign Authors
- mailartists , it had been a very good strong project of one mailartist
using advertisingcards to spread mailart by millions free printed
and spreaded postcards... for free...

If You want more information about ask here for it.

<HTML>Someone want some (collected and collectable - some catalogues
about this theme had been set up)
from this editions? (sell it handsigned at ebay just to joke about
the commercial sponsor!)

and copies of the local newspaper re-printing it with my portrait
in, wearing my t-shirt with the falcon-scull - and the slogan
"only a dead artist is a fine artist" ......

read the signs!!!

<HTML>Attatched the postcar - it had been one site of one newspaper
I worked on / with - theme "against fascism" and Newspapers,

(newspapers not telling what really happened)


For myself I am proud that this cruel artwork (cruel theme)

had been reproduced and spread for free to collectors
by this advertising - card sponsor - it is really collectable
(VERY RARE) now ?cause one mailartist founded the
contact - and the jury allowed me to provoke!!! - you
see - this is no advertising I made!!!

also my rage against newspapers and fascism had been
reposted by the local newspaper I worked on against...
read above....

so ...

I used systems
instead of systems
re-placing systems
against systems,
posted by systems while doing it for free!!!

What a great jump - those who can read...

should do it!

next posting will ?nclude the newspapercopy.

<HTML>Hi this is what hat been visualy been posted in the local newspaper,
it had been strong, I invited into mailart and some 5 year old children
participated to our projects and some years after this - the author of
the newspaper told me "what you (the worldwide community) are doing
is very strong"

He recogniced I told him - no censorship no jury... in the interview-
the child got his documentation at cd rom and red it... saw his
drawing too....

Sometimes it takes sometimes to understand and to accept.

Old repostings that had been online in snailmaildocumentations,
by cd-rom - (only some people had computers here ago)
and I had not the force than to set up more than one year of
animals in mailart online jet....

but, I`d been not only in local newspapers for using it in
advertising projects , making art against newspapers...

I also had been posted in the International weekly some years
before this by Dobric?a Kamperelic?and ... and..... and.....

All this is not really important !

But it will show you - I know what I?m talkin?about - in my
area of x-periences - that I?m talking about mailart.

- bb -
provoking ownly will lead to nothing!

provoking by art - using - and con+ac+ing true souls will lead
to multiple homes worldwide.
