Panormou station of Athens Metro system
The Metro System in Athens, Greece is very modern. All thanks to the Olympic Games in 2004 where the Greek Gouvernment managed to improve this system for the 4 million plus inhabitants....
Mail-Art Pile-Up
Because I am for a longer period abroad, my Mail-Art in the P.O. Box in Breda will pile up for more then a month. So if you send me something, expext it to be visible here after quite some time. I will document the pile as I find it and will publish it here. For the coming weeks I will still post here from the places where I am.

Pro-Active Mail-Art
Well, here is a new thing in Mail-Art. I have spotted the digital image of a letter that still has to arrive here in Breda. It is sent to me by Nico van Hoorn. A reaction is already sent today so my answer even gets to Nijmegen before Nico's mail arrives here. Pro-Active Mail-Art: Send you mail-art answer even before your mail-art from someone else has arrived....

- About Me:
- Ruud Janssen (b. Tilburg July 29, 1959) is a Dutch Fluxus and mail artist currently living in Breda in the Netherlands.
Ruud Janssen studied Physics and Mathematics. He became active with mail art in 1980 and did several international mail art projects. From 1994 till 2002 he has conducted interviews with Fluxus and mail artists in different communication forms; the results have been published in booklets and on the internet since 1996. In later years he focused more on acrylic painting and individual correspondences. He always maintains his site with the latest details of his work.
Janssen publishes articles, magazines and booklets with his TAM-Publications and participates in international mail art projects, collaborations and exhibitions. He founded IUOMA (International Union of Mail-Artists) in 1988 and is also the curator of the TAM-Rubberstamp Archive, the result of a Mail Art collection that has been accumulated by him from 1983 till now. The archive contains prints, original rubberstamps, magazines and literature. It is the longest time a mail art project has run ever (details see link to latest online catalogue). In 1994 he started with his Mail-interviews which have been published as booklets and online. The interviews have a new concept where the question is sent in a specific communicationform and the interviewed person chooses his own way to get the answer back. This way the factor time is involved in each specific interview. Samples of interviewed persons are: Ray Johnson, Dick Higgins, Ken Friedman, Anna Banana, Mark Bloch, Patricia Tavenner, Michael Leigh, Alison Knowles and Guy Bleus. Since 2008 the mail-interviews appear in a series of six books.
In 2003 Litsa Spathi founded together with Ruud Janssen the Fluxus Heidelberg Center for which they are building up a collection of Fluxus material and where they also publish their own works.

I posted some mail-art of yours some minutes ago; to see them go to my photos.
All the best,
Lancillotto
I'm just back from holidays (this morning) and I found your mail. Thank you. See you soon,
Lancillotto
the contemporary museum in St. Louis is sponsoring a studio tour on
sunday, July 19th which will include a tour of FLUXUS/ARTFARM - my
studio/farm by the river. They're telling me to expect about 200
visitors, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to put together
a small "FLUXKIT" - envelope - sized, that people can have to keep.
I'm looking for Images, Scores,fluxus bucks,artiststamps, poems,
etc... that I can print out on a 1/4 sheet of paper. sorry for the
short notice, the Idea just hit me.
*****If you're intersted, just send me an image, today if possible****
( sorry again about the rush ) and I'll print them up. make sure that
the work contains your name, signature or stamp so that we know who
it's from,
and I'll print up enough to send one to everyone who contributes, along
with a list of participating artists. If this works out well, maybe I
can start doing this every few months - It could be a fun project, and
a way for us all to connect a little more.
send your submission to : keith9963@sbcglobal .net
