Call for Mail Art: Your Doctor Mail-Art-ified!

What's Your view on your Doctor?

Is he/she a good help to you and do you feel blessed by having this good health care giver? Or are you afraid, angry, bored and/or distrusting whenever you visit your doctor?

Or is he/she invisible to you as until now you didn't need medical care at all?

For this online exhibition I'm looking for mail art which shows your opinion about your doctor. A portrait, a situation, certain objects or whatever, as long as it shows your thoughts and/or feelings about him/her.

All 2D media by snail mail are welcomed, minimum postcard size (10x15 cms), maximum A4 (20x30 cms).

No jury, no fee, no return. All entries about doctors will be published here.

TicTac



After the Doctor at work, the Doctor in action against viruses, it's time to take a closer look to the Doctor in search.
Who has a great and funny eye. Which in real is even more beautiful and obvious than this 2D image!
Thank you very much, herzlichen Dank, muchas gracias, Patrizia!


More mail art from TicTac you can find on the tac-tictac website, and amazing photography is showed on tictac-tictac.
Still you can send her messages in a bottle!

Miranda Vissers



Miranda Vissers sent this great mixed-media "Art.s" within the Netherlands.


With apt stamps on the envelop.

For not-Dutch-speaking persons it might be interesting to know: the Dutch word 'arts' means 'medical doctor', while the Dutch word for 'art' is 'kunst'.
So in fact the Dutch 'arts' has nothing to do with Art!
Although the former word for medicine is 'geneeskunst', which literally means 'the art of healing'. Nowadays it's called 'geneeskunde', which means 'the knowledge about healing'!..

More work by Miranda you can see here.
And she has an interesting call for mail art: Collecting.

Thanks a lot, hartelijk dank, Miranda!
(Je zult t.z.t. mijn bijdrage voor het 'Collecting' project tegemoet zien, een boeiend onderwerp!)

Update on August 17th, 2010:
Miranda Vissers also has made an interesting series about Anatomy named 'Gray's Anatomy and Beyond': ceramics (click on this link to see some pieces) and collage art:





Miranda, wederom bedankt, en ik schrijf je (per post!).

Ryosuke Cohen



This Brain Cell Life Form was sent by Ryosuke Cohen from Japan.
I'm not sure if this large mail art work is meant for the Your Doctor in Mail Art project, but brain cells have something to do with both body and mind, so these important parts of us might be confronted with some physician or psychician one day.

Learn more about the Brain Cell mail art project on this website. For more information about the artist see the website of Ryosuke Cohen.
Ryosuke Cohen has started a new project, Orion Soup, about the beginning and the end of the space. You can put your idea about it on his bulletin board.

Arigato, Ryosuke!
