最近在網路上面得知一個訊息,西班牙有個非政府組織正在執行一項名為「s.m.a.l.l. (Send Mail Art, love & Life)」的計畫,收集全世界各地來的明信片,但前提是你必須花一點心思在明信片上作畫,再將明信片放上網路畫廊上販售,利用募得的基金,在衣索比亞建一所小學。



s.m.a.l.l. is an art project that is made possible by cooperation at a global level and which was born from the necessity of covering one of most important basic needs in the life of a human being: EDUCATION.

We need artists from all over the world to send us their work in the form of a Mail Art. You can illustrate, paint, design, write or transform a small postcard into a unique piece of your art. These pieces will be framed, exhibited and sold in order to raise funds to build a school for children in Korem, Ethiopia.

s.m.a.l.l. also acts as an online platform to raise public awareness of the work of talented emerging artists as well as promoting the solidarity of the more established artists involved in the project.
All the works will be exhibited on: thesmallblog.tumblr.com

3 small steps:

1.- Choose a postcard of your city or the place where you are at the moment you find out about the project.

2.- Transform it artistically with total freedom: draw, write, or do whatever you want with it to make it unique.

3.- Put on a stamp and send it to:

MADRE ÁFRICA
C/ LIMÓN, 24 Bajo Derecha
28015 Madrid Spain

如果你不是畫家,只是一個營養師,那怎麼辦呢?首先,先到郵局去買一張明信片,然後找出來小時候畫畫時的色筆朋友們,把明信片翻過來背面開始作畫就沒問題了!

其實畫得好還是不好都是其次,重要的是參與了什麼,並且從中獲得了什麼或幫了人什麼!對我來說,我喜歡有趣的事情,勝過只是與陌生人交換明信片

於明信片的背面作畫
真的太久沒有畫畫,但還好看起來還蠻像樣的!我畫了幾項諾魯的特色在上面,有國旗、椰子樹、磷礦(運輸帶)及貨櫃船,其中比較有趣的是國旗下呲牙裂嘴的挖土機,用隱喻的方式對諾魯生態浩劫抗議(???),雖然看過的朋友都不知道那是什麼...


可能大多數的人會覺得你的畫一點價值都沒有,但誰知道你會不會跟畢卡索或是《魯冰花》裡的古阿明一樣!雖然我一直幻想著我的作品會以高價賣出。我不知道你信不信,反正我是信了!

Affix a stamp and send
貼上郵票後寄出
其實諾魯明信片的郵資是預付的,只要購買明信片不用另外貼郵票即可寄到全世界各地,但以我的經驗,大部份的明信片收集者都想要明信片附有當地的郵票,所以我想一張來至稀有國家又貼有郵票的明信片,我相信應該很對買家的胃才對!
