Mail Art Call from Paul Tiilila

WHAT TIME IS IT?Theme: Is it 20.08 or 2008? What is your time? Now, tomorrow? What is the time where you live? Tell me about that in mail art pictures.In Finland mail art is not yet widely known. I have an opportunity to arrange a mail art exhibition in the City of Tampere, in the splendid exhibition rooms of Tampere Hall, with the aim to make mail art better known to those living in Tampere.The fine exhibition area, Winter Garden, is rather small, it may hold only about 40-50 works. So, contrary to the civilized practice of mail art, I am forced to limit the number of works chosen.Those works that can't be displayed in Tampere Hall will be exhibited in Gallery G, a gallery founded by myself. It is also a Mini-Museum dedicated to mail art. It is no worse place, but naturally Tampere Hall has a finer reputation, as it has housed large international congresses and EU-meetings.Tampere is the third largest city in Finland and the largest inland center in the Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Norway).Tampere Hall (Tampere-talo) is the largest concert and congress center in the Nordic countries. Tampere Hall is located in Tampere on the edge of a lovely park, just across the road from the main building of Tampere University and within a short walking distance of the city center.The exhibition will take place either at the end of 2007 or at the beginning of 2008. I will be informed of that as soon as the congress and concert program will be settled in Tampere.max size A4 or 8.5 x 11 inches; min. postcard.No returnsNo feesDocumentation to allinfo: Paul Tiililä paul.tiilila@pp.inet.fiDeadline: September 30, 2007Paul TiililäKuusitie 436600 PälkäneFinland
