Once a year in the district of Wedding, in Berlin, Germany, artists organize and hold a mailart (art associated with postage stamps, envelopes, postcards, etc.) exhibition. The Wedding district is one of the poorest in Berlin. High unemployment and poor average family incomes often make life difficult for our neighbors in Wedding.  However, Wedding's citizens have begun grassroots initiatives to build a safer, more caring community. Crime Prevention is one of our main goals, and building a good relationship between the residents of Wedding and our local police is another major goal. We want to show Wedding's policemen and policewomen that we care about them, and that we appreciate their work.  That is the reason we have organized this year's mailart exhibition.  Children will draw pictures, and artists from around the world will create and send their works.  We would be very pleased if artists from around the world would show their solidarity with the people and police officers of Wedding. Here is our request: Please send us your piece of mailart or anything else related to your station's police work. All entries will be on public display at Osterkirche (the Easter Church) Samostrasse 4, 13353 Berlin, Germany for three months starting on Saturday October 28, 2006. Deadline for entries: Sunday October 15, 2006. Documentation (in black and white) of the exhibit will be sent to every police agency/participant which participates, with the theme: "Our Police / Prevent Crime." All received items will be given to "Polizeihistorische Sammlung Berlin" (Police Museum) after the exhibition has ended. more info: stampchef@gmx.de Send all mail to: Uwe Bressem Nordufer 14 13353 Berlin Germany ---------- THEME: CONTEMPORARY ART [BUT]  Theme: Free Format: Free Technique: Free Size: Post Card-A4 (21x29.7) No Return Exhibition: Nov 29-Dec 5, 2006 at ITAMI CITY GALLERY Deadline: November 11, 2006 Secretariat [BUT] MAMORU UEMURA Ogino Itami -Shi 2-20-3 664-0002 JAPAN ------------- Mailmania 2  2nd Biennial: An open call for submissions for an upcoming exhibition of all forms of mailart.

Weather and chemicals that balance the ecosystem of the planet and that all the beings which coexist here, are comprised of a chain.  We are interdependent and WATER is one of those elements which we all need to fulfill our lives. Without potable water due to the overpopulation, we run the risk of being forced away.  Exaggerated consumption, waste and contamination are exhausting our natural resources. Today, these realities are certain, but it is not disclosed to us that the administration of the natural resources - among them the water, is in the hands of the great multinational companies that direct the destinies of the planet. Neither is it reported that daily they are extracting millions of liters of deep potable water and dumping it into contaminated streams and rivers, clear cutting forests, and contributing to military actions in some regions when it suits their interests. We need to stop the necessary elements for life from being transformed into a BUSINESS. In Argentina, like in many other countries of the world, the water no longer belongs to those who have inhabited this ground for centuries.  It has been bought by the multinationals. Argentine waters are not Argentine. Companies like Nestlé, Danone, Cocaine Tail, among others, are taking care of the management of the potable water and the mineral water in all the planet, which, of course, offers numerous gains them. We must demand access to the natural resources to assure our right to the life, shared in common with the other living beings and species that populate the planet and with the future generations. The management of the water must be placed in the hands of each one of us and if we work individually and collectively we will be able to build this utopia.
