«...if I remind well, my friend Zarko Rošulj, visual-poet, literary critic,
technical editor in publishing house NOLIT (where I'm working too) gave
me in 1978 some mail art invitations and introduced me with some interesting
art-people/alter-artists.... Than, I've started to collaborate in/with
WEST-EAST (→ Zagoricnik), international association for concrete and
visual poetry, I found many addresses from alter-artists all over the world
and became a mail-artist that time. My first (collective) project/exhibition
has been in 1981 at Beograd's Town Library (where I've been working 1976-
1977) and was named „ARS AS IDEA“. After this project I've been real
mail-artist with many mail art projects, contacts, full-relationships (meetings)
etc.. etc... I've done over 20 mail art projects (...) and more then 60 foreign
guests (performers, mail artists or just artists) from Japan, Holland, Canada,
Italy, Germany, Belgium, USA, Switzerland, Norway, Hungary.... Of course,
many, many meetings with (former) YU mail artists, cooperative projects
under UN sanctions, isolated, frustrated....
And I'm still incarnation of an OPEN WORLD (sic!) = the title of
my mail art magazine from 1985. (...) As a member of two art associations
(fine artists and writers) in my country I have sometimes problems with my
mail art activity (its silly activity as my friends/artists and writers understood
it). I've spent very much money in the passed 15 years.... Why am I still in
the mail art network? Well, because I'm still a dreamer, I'm still believing in
OPEN WORLD, I prefer friendship, I like the exchange of good art ideas
(materials is usually poor!) and energy.... I'm an utopist, that's a fact.
...Yes, but let me explain something about ARTEFACT. Firstly, I'm
editor for Expanded Art Media (this is the title of my Section at Serbian Fine
Artists Assoc.) and owners+directors are: Dragan Pavlov (sometimes networker
and founder/owner of DEDALUS publishing/small-house), general-editor,
Boris Vukovic (who comes from Australia), art director + designer, Pedja
