<HTML>F.U.N.tastic United Nations - circular letter of August 30, 2001
Some months after the circulation of the first announcement of the F.U.N.
project and of the invite to participate to the Just 4 FUN series of
box-sets co-produced by all the authors, we have received about twenty
adhesions to the plan, most of them concerning the Just 4 FUN-2 box-set
titled "F.U.N.tastic Universal Network". We therefore decided to unify into
a single publication the three box-sets initially programmed, with a single
new deadline (October 31st, 2001), maintaining unchanged the costs and
methods of participation, as condensed here below:
Just 4 FUN is a new publishing formula proposed by AAA Editions. It
contemplates the participation of the various individuals adhering to the
project to the production costs, permitting to create at a low cost
postcards, trading cards or stamps-sheets professionally printed in colour.
In an original and stylish box printed in colour and punch cut on light
cardboard will be collected a series of previously unpublished colour
postcards, trading cards and artist's stamps sheets, created by various
international artists, together with a booklet or folder containing
bilingual informative texts in English/Italian. The packaging will include
biographical notes for each artist featured and a short text on his/her
imaginary country of provenience. The boxed set will be published in a
limited edition of 750 copies that will be distributed to participants,
mailed promotionally to magazines, museums and art critics and, in part,
offered for sale.
Title: F.U.N.tastic Universal Network
Subtitle: A Mail Art FUN Survival Kit
Content: 16 or more postcards, several artistamps sheets and trading cards,
one rubber stamp, a folded "Mail Art Map" (created by Vittore Baroni in the
tradition of the fluXus diagrams by George Maciunas and Pete Frame's "rock
family trees"), a "Mail Art Survival booklet" with texts in English/Italian.
Graphic project and lay-out by Piermario Ciani.
Theme: the materials collected in the box constitute a small "survival kit"
for all those who are still in love with the dear old papery postal
communication, in a world that has become increasingly dominated by
hypertechnological and immaterial media. In conceptual, imaginative,
provocative or amusing ways, the various elements that form the boxed set
play with the creative possibilities offered by the classic formats of
traditional correspondence, proving that you can still be surprised, learn
something new or have some good fun through the most simple and "poor" form
of communication at distance. A kit that will become very useful in a not so
distant future, when the red mailboxes will start to disappear from the face
of the planet and the only postal clerks left will be those busy sorting out
the funtastic philately of imaginary countries and virtual worlds.
Publication date: December 2001.
To participate with your POSTCARD, send us an original work in colour (cm.
21 x 28, in horizontal or vertical), pertaining to the theme. Send also a
