Long week. It's summer time so the hotel where I work
is more busy than usual. I come home feeling tired and
just feel like watching TV series or a movie.

I've been more and more away from the web. It became tiresome.
I now only visit, on my spare time, Mastodon and some online
newspapers. I also check email. And that's it.

Tomorrow is one of my two days off. I might do some Mail Art.
I've been a Mail Artist for 18 years. I usually quit
most of the activities I get into, but Mail Art I could
never quit.

So many doors opened when I started to send and receive artistic
correspondece. I've been in contact with artists from the
whole world, and I participated, and still do, on exhibitions
in many countries. All thanks to Mail Art.

I'm also a member of IUOMA(International Union Of Mail
Artists). Great community. We have an online forum, but we're
more active through physical correspondence.

One thing I always loved about Mail Art was its open and
inclusive nature. It has this principle: Everyone is an artist
and everyone can do it.

One of the things that make Mail Art so poweful is that it           
circumvents the institutions. Everyone can put their work on
an exhibition whithout the pressure, demands and tastes of
galleries and museums. It's also non commercial, which means
it is not controlled by a market.

I could talk even more about Mail Art, but I think I will leave    
it for another post.

Mail Art matters. Mail Art changed my life.

It's past midnight. It's time I grab the book I'm currently
reading and flip some pages until sleep comes.

What am I reading?: Macao's General History by Huang Qichen.
