Sun instead of Reagan 1982

From the country, which destroys itself and us
the ` way OF life ´ Dictated there
Reagan comes and brings weapons and death
and it hears peace, sees red it.
He says as a president of the USA Nuclear war?
-Ask there and there whether Poland, intermediary the east,
Nicaragua it wants the final victory,
that is nevertheless clear.
But we want: Sun instead of Reagan
without armament live!
Whether west, whether east
on rockets rust must!
We want: Sun instead of Reagan
without armament live!
Whether west, whether east
on rockets rust must!
It wants to provoke the bags in the east
also with atoms do not geizen
but your war around brain-burned goals
that does not run Reagan - we are many!
Strike off with your nuclear strategists
your Russenhassern, your radiation rain
Humans Knitterface, th film are out
nimm´ the rockets also to house!

Because we want: Sun instead of Reagan
without armament live!
Whether west , whether east
Cold warriors the plague!
We want: Sun instead of Reagan
without armament live!
Whether west , whether east
Cold warriors the plague!
This Reagan comes as a man of the armaments industry
but the peoples OF the States don´t want it - never!
and the true peace wird´s only give
if all humans without weapons live.
We want: Sun instead of Reagan
without armament live!
Whether west, whether east
on rockets rust must!
Sun instead of Reagan
without armament live!
Whether east, whether west
Cold warriors the plague!
We want: Sun instead of Reagan
without armament live!
Whether west, whether east
on rockets rust must!
We want: Sun instead of Reagan

Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
Train I ride, sixteen coaches long
well that long black train got my baby and gone

Train train, comin round the bend
Well it took my baby, but it never will again (no not again)

Train train, comin down, down the line
Train train, comin down the line
Well its bringin my baby, cause shes mine all, all mine

"What Mail Art means to me: WHY DO I DO MAIL ART
because it feeds my wife, children, and grandchildren well after tax and postage
because it is an easy pastime between the hardships of my daily life
because it fills me with spiritual growth in sleepless nights
because it fills my archive with handmade valuable original artworks from everywhere
because they are all exactly about my project themesand arrive long before deadline
because its family of polyglottal cosmopolitans welcome me at their doorsteps any time
because they are all enduring and tolerant vegetarian non-smoking peace workers
because it floods my P.O. Box with documentary catalogs that include my works in full size
because it secures me fame in art history and opens the biggest museum doors for me
because it has deeply befriended me with all postal workers in my city
because it is easy to explain to newcomers, journalists, and to my mother
because I prefer licking stamps to any other indoor activity and any other outdoor activity
because I love bad photocopies and bad English from all over the world
because I truly appreciate new creative spellings of my name and address twice weekly
and if all this is not absolutely true, my name shall not be PETER NETMAIL any more but

from Carla Cryptic

2009-06-05T06:46:00.000-07:00

"What is mail art? Mail art is one of the only truly egalitarian outlets for artistic expression. One does not have to a professional artist to enter a show, and aspects of existence such as race, color, creed, credentials, and gender have absolutely no effect on your work being chosen. All work is shown and all participants are notified of the others who´ve participated.

Mail art started being a presence in the current art world circa 1980 after several years of being a Rave-like experience; only the participants knew when and where a "show" was taking place. These shows took many forms, but all mail art has three basic tenets: 1. no fees, 2. no returns, and 3. a list of participants to all who enter. Variations on the theme include everything from fullfledged hung shows with openings and catalogues, down to being shown in someone´s basement studio to Fluffy the cat, the list of participants only being sent to people who included an SASE with their work. Shows are launched by advertising in art journals like Artweek, or, once you´ve become part of the network, through invitation (a postcard in your mailbox) on themes chosen by whoever initiates the show.

What makes it mail art? Mail art consists of anything the human mind can conceive of and make which can be sent through the mail as is. The most common items are postcards, decorated envelopes, photocards, sculptures encased in clear plastic, laminated collages, and objects sent in clear envelopes. Some of the more esoteric items run the gamut from randomly decorated coconuts to hand-loomed potholders with embroided addresses on cloth labels, stamps sewn on rather than glued; in the last show I sponsored, one of the more unusual entries was a wire coat hanger with the address and stamp on the paper wrapper.

The U.S. Postal Service´s guideline for what can go through the mail used to be simple; except for explosives, toxic substances, and contraband items, almost anything is allowed for a price. Current USPS guidelines are not as flexible as they used to be but they still give mail artist a lot of room in which to be creative. It´s usually best to know what the local guidelines are for your country so that, when and if you bend them, you know what the consequences might be."
