M.A.D. MAIL ART DAY 16 OCTOBER by Ruggero Maggi and Stefano Schiavoni....tomorrow!

 

MAM Museum of Modern Art and Mail Art Montecarotto (AN) 

16 October 2024 | 10 January 2025 Opening | Wednesday 16 October 2024 | at 18.00

On the occasion of the M.A.D. Mail Art Day 2024 project, two events will be held at MAM Museum of Modern Art and Mail Art in Montecarotto (AN) and at Musinf Museum of Information in Senigallia, curated respectively by Ruggero Maggi and Stefano Schiavoni.

The M.A.D. Mail Art Day project | October 16 | International Mail Art Day was launched at the end of 2022 by Ruggero Maggi to remember Ray Johnson, born on October 16 and defined as “the most famous unknown artist in New York”. By founding the New York Correspondence School in 1962, with which he mocked the various correspondence art schools that were springing up in the US at the time, he marked with this explosive initial moment, the Big Bang of Mail Art.

very happy to be in these two shows:

“MAIL ART POETRY – POETRY IS RESISTANCE” Arte Correo collateral project to the first international biennial of Argentine experimental poetry POSVERSO, strongly desired by Silvio De Gracia, who has expanded the experimental research in more multidisciplinary fields, involving artists from all over the world with a branched and articulated diffusion of culture and of LIVE ART in Buenos Aires and Argentina. Poetry and resistance, war and poetry, one has been trying for centuries to annihilate the other with oppression, with violence, but Poetry is difficult to defeat. It will always find a way to emerge in the most unexpected places, in the subways of a bombed London, in the tunnels of underground cities, in muddy trenches. The trench is an emblem of defense, but also a line from which an attack can start... the attack of Poetry towards a world that seems to have forgotten it, seems to have made it obsolete, but poets and artists have always been on the front line to fight with pens and

pencils the insane desire of violence. Mail Art represents one of the most powerful and deflagrating poetic weapons to make one's "voice" heard.

UTSANGA Visual poetry and mail art have always been inseparable companions on the road. Poetry: food of life… poetic chrysalis of mail art, exercise of creative freedom and restlessness of the soul with which to plough through the entire world. This mail art project curated by Francesco Aprile, Vincenzo Lagalla and Ruggero Maggi wants to celebrate 10 years of work and research by Utsanga, through some exhibition moments in different locations, with the participation of hundreds of international artists. Utsanga.it is an online magazine about liminal analysis. The term “utsanga” is a Sanskrit word that meaning “womb, embrace”. The magazine was founded by Francesco Aprile and Cristiano Caggiula in 2014. Border that preludes the beyond, line that expands becoming a conceptual laboratory, a research center, an archive.

Lydia Lunch poem below....

Existential Vacuum, based on a poem by Lydia Lunch, from I have Collected All the Writings of the Empire and Burnt Those Which Were of No Use

 

The mass neurotic triad of insufferable idiocy, infantile narcissism, and internet addiction has fostered a spiritual bankruptcy, an existential vacuum, a moral coma, a culture in crisis where all meaning has been leached from real life and replaced with Reality TV. 

Kiss my ass Kim Kardasian, you overblown tool for having created a cult of celebrity devoid of talent and integrity whose only value is net worth generated by catering to the lowest common denominator. 

A dumbed down society where everyone’s a star baby, circling around a galaxy formed by a black hole which centers around their own fucking asshole. 

A nonstop circus side show littered with big titted half-wits pandering to dopey dicks as the theater of the ridiculous plays 24 hours a day…in perfect rotation, a pathetic ploy that pulls the brain dead public into spying on somebody else’s petty life…so that they can forget just how much they are being spied on and manipulated into becoming a victim of the surveillance state, a pawn in the game who willingly gives up their own privacy in order to play patsy on a public platform modeling their dirty laundry in an unending series of senseless selfies, while prattling off and babbling on about every petty detail of their self-obsessed existence thereby making it easier for Big Brother to track their every waking moment.
