Géza Perneczky - Ruud Janssen

of the General Postal Treaty Organisation (GPTO). While admiring our flag, the
visitor might contemplate Tui Tui’s twofold theory of sovereignty. First, we live
upon floating islands. If our independence were threatened, we can raft our islets
together and move the country! Second, our buoyant little archipelago is currently
situated in the territory of the Duwamish Tribe of Indians. (…) we hold the space in
protectorate. And we issue stamps. Our stamps can also be considered artistamps.
Why? Because, I, an artist, say so!
Shortly after Tui Tui joined the International Council of Independent States (ICIS)
in 1987, I proposed a theory of categorize our nations. At that time it ran thus: The
First World is the developed World; the Second, the developed socialist/communist
bloc; the Third, the developing world; the Fourth, that of the submerged nationalities
and indigenous peoples such as the Duwamish. ICIS members live mainly
in the next two wolrds: th Fifth World consists of states like Tui Tui that control
or pretend to control the sovereignty of places with a terrestrial geographical basis;
the Sixth World is the realm of states that are personal (idiocratic), imaginary in
place, extraterrestrial, extratemporal or purely cyberspatial. This political “Theory
of Six Worlds” would meman nothinmg to the art history of mail art and artistamps
were it not for the overlap of the practitioners of the Fifth and Sixth Worlds with
those working in ther memdia of mail art and espepcially artistamps…»

Literature:
«Only mag I've gotten that is not folded in the middle, this alone gives the mag a
2-for-1 feel and helps offset the standardness of the damned xerox machine. Work
by all those people you've already heard of; Michael Voo Doo, Crag → Hill, Ruggero
→ Maggi, Patrick → McKinnon, Steve → Perkins, Blaster (→ Ackerman) and
Tuli Kupferberg (of the Fugs). Scott is also involved quite actively with the experimental
arts scene up that way, so you might want to get a hold of him. Also member
of Zois (see cassette review).»
