Mail Art News #45: An Overview of Cascadia Artpost

Image
  City of Cascadia central post office (1:87 scale model) by Jack Lattemann The other day, Cascadian denizen,  Nonlocal Variable , suggested that I contact Jack Lattemann, also known as  Cascadia Artpost , a name I had seen here and there during my relatively short mail art career of ten years, and so I thought yes that would be great. I'd like to learn more about this mysterious Cascadia Artpost. What is it all about? Jack was super generous in providing information and dozens of images of his creative output, and so I present you with an overview of Cascadia Artpost, plus a few interview questions, followed by the usual weekly mail art news that you've come to expect...nay, demand!  From Jack Lattemann (JL) :  Between 2008 and 2014, I posted entries on a blog, “Welcome to Cascadia Artpost” (two versions), which provide some background on the first years of Cascadia Artpost. I discontinued the posts in 2014 because they were taking too much of my time, even though I had retire

Mail Art News # 67: Jimmy Hackney

  drawing by  Jimmy Hackney Thomas Brown (TB): Hi Jimmy. Your profile on IUOMA says you've been a mail artist since 2023. How did you learn about mail art? Jimmy Hackney (JH): I was dropping off some art at a friend’s ( Steve O. Black ) house for an upcoming event. We began talking about some of the projects he was working on. Then, he comes to one of his storage bins and asks me,  “Have you ever heard of mail art?” I said, “No, what is it?” He pulled out fascinating pieces of art. My mind was completely blown. I could not believe that this kind of thing existed. I asked, “People send you these!!?!” It was like hearing music for the first time. He told me that he was a member of IUOMA and suggested that I join. So, I did. He said, “Find someone to send art to.” “Easier said than done, right?” As it turns out, it was indeed that easy. I picked out an address and let it rip. I can’t remember who the first person was that I sent mail to. I sent out approximately 20 at that time. Howe

Mail Art News #40: I Want

Image
Sunshinysam  on IUOMA I'm just a one man operation, so I can't cover all the posts made by all the mail artists. I can however make note of the things that grab my attention the most. Occasionally people send me links and factoids. Per nonlocal variable , there exists an archives of the copy-culture publication known as  Photostatic  (1983-1998). Definitely worth a look.  Diana Hale has a perforator. Adam R. has a Wizbang perforator, a gift from Michelangelo Mayo.   Questing for a perforation machine...there are some leads. There's a nice looking, heavy duty one made in India , but attempts to land on a page where one could order the item has resulted in a slew of disorienting incoming emails. Shipping costs could be prohibitive. Then there's word from  Heather Wilkie  in the  Mail Art News group on IUOMA  that a  person on etsy  is selling small scale perforators. The seller offers two or three different sizes, plus a circle-shape perforator. Very interesting! Kind o
