This documentation gives a surview of our projects during the "Come-to-the-city"-week at Mail Art Mekka Minden with quite some surprises in our city: who would have expected your fancy dragon faxes in a storefront window or artistamps - and everything that the post delivered - in a public yellow phonebooth? These booths are made for watching ...
Another unexpected view for the city shoppers were peace wishes swinging among the leaves of the old marple tree on historic St John's churchyard in front of our culture centre BÜZ: immaterial wishes in the tree, next to the busy pedestrian zone where the very materialist wishes get fulfilied by the business world.
We are grateful to Minden's Marketing Corporation for sponsoring our art events as part of a countrywide program in 10 cities. The ministry of cultural affairs intended to attract shoppers back into the city centres th rough artistsic venues. Mail Art Mekka got supported as a typical feature of Minden's corporate identity. Notabene: Mail Art and money don't mix, but touch; we exhibit other's works, however do not sell them. They stay in the Netmail Archive.
These contributions changed viewing habits in our city. Take e.g. those Mindeners who applied to work on the incoming faxes for a shift putting them up in the shopwindow. Or the homeless man under the wishing tree who had passers-by note down their very personal wishes on a card to get them fulfilled through the tree. Promised. Like, "I wish my family would re-unite again", or "I hope to pass my exam", or "On my 40th birthday I wish to find' a loving partner at last". And above all, the wish for peace, not only in Serbia. lt also means more than the absence of war in our country and city. lt means the creative fulfilment of the space given through peace - not only as a chance, but as an obligation.
Cooperation with the business world proved effective in spite of mutual caution: fear of censorship on the artists' side, and fear of chaos breaking into their shiny fashion world on the sponsors' side. Neither happened. On the contrary, we experienced a lot of spontaneous help in dealing with the unexpected inherent dynamics of such projects. Result: one Telekom phonebooth remains inside Minden's "Obermarkt-Passage" for further Mail Art projects like "Welcome, Austria" and "Children's Mail Art".
