The Origin of Addresses (three perfs)
Theme: The use of street signs and house numbers was introduced in The Netherlands about 1795. Before that time a house was indicated by anything that might be notable about it. In most cases reference was made to a particular distinguishing mark that had often been fitted on to it for this purpose and had the additional property of being a sort of emblem for the occupant. How were addresses indicated in other parts of the world in the days when house numbering had not yet been introduced?

MOURNFUL DEMON - SPIRIT OF BANISHMENT (LOVE STORY) (five perfs)
Theme: "Fruits of our own fantasy – that’s what we can love truly and worship..."
This is a mail-art project devoted to 200 year anniversary of Russian poet of the 19th century Michael Lermontov. The image of Demon is one of the most important in Lermonov`s art. His Demon is an angel banished from the sky but not accepted by the earth. Obsessed, impassioned, rejected by everybody rushing over the sinful earth between the good and the evil. Demon is doomed to create the evil but his heart is opened for love. The image of Demon is a personification of the inner world of Lermontov himself who was killed in a duel in 1841 at the age of 27. Lermontov's Demon is the solitude and the estrangement, the anxiety and the depravity and at the same time the intellect and the craft. The image of Demon is infinitely contradictory and many-sided. Many poets, painters and composers addressed to the topic of demonism in their art.
The basis of this mail-art project is a peculiar historical art parallel of Lermontov`s Demon with the creative process of Russian talented painter Michael Vrubel which he had at the beginning of 20th century working over his masterpieces devoted to the image of Demon.

Day of the Dead Exhibition (three perfs)
Theme: Life After Death - (Whatever that means to you!). Background: Dia de Los Muertos is an ancient celebration of the lives of the dead, combining European and Indigenous Indian traditions in Mexico. Revolving around the notion that the dead, both adults and children, return to visit once a year, preparations are made by the living to help guide the souls back ( from wherever), and welcome them with food, drink, and festivities and ritual. While this may be the inspiration for the mail call –we ask artists to be creative, inventive and true to themselves .
The question is: How do people…cultures….you, deal with death and the memories of loved ones? What happens to the dead? What happens to those of left behind? How do you honor and remember those who have gone before?
Media: free
Format: Postcards only - size free
Requests: Please put the title, image (artwork) and stamps on the front of your entry. Please include your name, e-mail address & physical address and any other information you would like to share on the back.
This exhibit will be in a city facility open to the public, including families and children. Please submit work suitable for this type of venue.

ALL THAT JAZZ !!! & STILL NO FREEDOM ??? (five perfs)
Theme: This will be the new FRIOUR project. Personally I don't know any music that embodies more the thirst for freedom than jazz music. Jazz includes the notions of improvisations and excitement. It liberated the soul and hearts of many, opened new roads and ways of playing music and listening to music. In recent years I've become a huge jazz fan and became even friends with a few Belgian jazz musicians, attending concerts and festivals as much as I could. Despite all that jazz there is little room for improvisation in business life, personal life and society as a whole. Do people need a worldwide crisis to be controlled? Blow all fear away and send your contributions for the next Friour Review issue.

Random Generation Postal Project (two perfs)
Theme: We would like to set up a project that enables people to ‘generate’ a random address for them to write to. The big idea is to send people letters, and receive letters yourself. You won’t know this person but they may have something interesting to say, they may not. We think it will be fun, who knows what will happen?
We will create a website that anyone can join. After an individual joins, a random address from those submitted will be provided. This will be the address the new member will write to. Those who join will also be able to create a profile to which they can upload/scan in received letters.
From this archive of people's posts, we would like to create a publication, which could be in the form of a magazine or a book. If the project grows to be very popular, we would like to publish yearly annuals.
FIRST AND FORMOST! We thought it would be a grand idea to have an event of address swapping, to start the ball rolling, and to begin our archiving of addresses for the random generator.
Media/Size: Postcards can be of any size and contain any artwork/text/visuals but must have your postal address on them.
Exhibition: Your postcards/addresses will be exhibited at an event in York, England (date TBA). People who attend the event will choose an address from the exhibition-style event, and they will send you a letter!
