RESIST 100 YEARS OF WAR
1914 – 2014 :
RESIST 100 YEARS OF WAR
This mail art project is not in opposition or competition but in support of the existing mail art project on the anniversary of the so-called « great » war.
So we support and encourage the efforts of Jan Theunink and Paul Verhulst in Belgium,
those of Theresa Easton in the UK and the Hungarian project (a collaboration between networkers in Hungary, Germany and Austria, the world will follow).
We also salute the incredible individual efforts of artists like Eric Bensidon and Alain Cotten in France and Otto Sherman in the USA.
THE MAIL ART PROJECT WE PROPOSE is based on
° the refusal of war as a destruction of people’s common togetherness and solidarity
War was conducted by those who did not know eacht other for the bank accounts of those who knew each other quite well (to paraphrase Valéry)
° the refusal of any kind of war nostalgia or the recuperation of so-called peace by institutions like the EC or the UN (who have no problem launching new wars « in the name of peace and freedom»)
° the backing of a total rehabilitation for all soldiers who were executed by their own commanders and governments « as example », with excuses as cowardice, or desertion, or you have lost your equipment and other nonsens
° the backing of independent historical research on what happened during these « great » wars
You can fill in yourself other angles of interests, the list is limitless
FREE SIZE AND MEDIUM
NO DEADLINE
This project is proposed by mail artist Guido Vermeulen with the support of FRIOUR NETWORK MAGAZINE and a new Circle of Free Thought in Belgium : CLP-KVD
Documentation online in a special section on the blog of the CLP-KVD

Women and the War
Marking the Centenary of the First World War, this mail art project for young people (aged 11-25 years) aims to create cross-cultural dialogue and exchange through research and visual art. Theresa Easton, the North East of England Project Manager, plans to work with young people in her region to research aspects of World War I and the legacy surrounding it. Using a wide range of printmaking techniques and art-making processes, they will be partnered with young people in other countries to exchange the art that results from their research. The exchanged artwork will be curated into an exhibition for display in communities and galleries throughout the North East region.
The project aims to increase understanding of the impact of conflict through its research into local historical records. Its use of printmaking techniques to explore and interpret local heritage resources has the potential to produce multiple artworks such as artist books, memory boxes, resource boxes and framed works. A complementary blog site will permit contributors world-wide to manage content.
Project themes using local NE heritage resources include:
Trench Art
Women and the War
People’s Stories
If you work with young people and are interested in developing a project with young people in the UK please contact: theresa_easton@yahoo.co.uk or check out http://theresaeaston.wordpress.com for information about book art projects.
Deadline for expression of interest: 27th October 2013.
