Mail Art Periodicals - MoMA

(today, April 13, 1999, the letter took 15 days to get her but still arrived!!!!!) which
he wrote on the 5th day of the bombardments in Yugoslavia on Sunday 28th
March 1999. He asks me to copy and pass on the letter because it also contains
a OPEN LETTER in it. You are encouraged to copy this magazine that I made
for him. The magazine itself contains information that originates from Yugoslavia.
Also e-mail messages I received from Andrej Tisma in Novi Sad are included.
We hear a lot about the war in Yugoslavia from our own media. It only felt right to
spread these informations from our mail art friend(s) inside Yugoslavia to all of
you to hear what they have to say."

earlier this year. David's piece in this issue was drawn on a napkin while he and
Robert Erickson and I were having a conversation and snack at the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. He will be missed."
"Collaboration By." Keiichi Nakamura, Editor. Tokyo, Japan.
1996-2001.
Series of collaborative visual poetry booklets. Japanese Mail Artist Keiichi
Nakamura sends out pages of graphics to fellow Mail Artists, asking them to
"add to and return". Upon return receipt, the pages are photocopied and made
into booklets. Numbering system is somewhat suspect, as "Vol. 1" is used
throughout the series. Titles are given each booklet, but together they form an
outstanding series of collaborative works. I have given the series the name,
"Collaboration By," as this phrase appears on many of the booklets. Three
booklets appear to have been produced before the series began, but have been
included because of their similarity to the series, and to give a historic
perspective to Nakamura's project.
(n.d). Photocopy. 8 1/4"x5 3/4". (8 pages). "Long Life." Collaboration by
Walt Evans (USA), Keiichi Nakamura (Japan), Barry Edgar Pilcher (Ireland),
Yarita Misako (Japan)."
