Respect and care for the community of life.II. Ecological integrity.III. Social and economic Justice.IV. Democracy, nonviolence, and peace. Free size and medium (all visual expressions and poetry / texts)Deadline is June 30, 2005.Contributions will be united in a new issue of Friour Network Magazine.A copy of the zine will be send to all contributors after the deadline. Mail your contributions to:Friour's Earth Charter Project, c/o Guido Vermeulen,Vinçottestreet 81, B-1030 Brussels, BELGIUM. Email to: guido.vermeulen@easynet.be Maybe it is interesting when you send me a contribution to specify for which principle it is meant. You are encouraged to work on all 4 of them because for me it is clear thatthese 4 principles are like the 4 elements, so united, and they sound like common sense or a new manifesto (grafted on older ones) to save the planet from its present state of mind and action. In a way it is.I got the idea for this project from Olivier Urbain, the founder of the T:AP (Transcend: Art  & Peace) network during one of our many email exchanges. More information on the earth charter can be found on www.earthcharter.orgMore info on T:AP can be found on: www.tapnet.info 4The View From My WindowDeadline 31 Jan 05SIZE & TECHNIQUE: Free up to 14" X 16"DOCUMENTATION: Exhibitions to be held beginning late Spring 05; documentation to all; no returnsLUIZA BROWN13 ELM STREETGARDINER ME 04345-2019USALuizasArtCafe@Hotmail.com  5ARTI-SMOKINGArti-smoking invites artists to submit artworks that commemorate tobacco victims and bring awareness of danger of tobacco smoking to the public.

Its goal is to claim the street as open space, a place to meet, exchange ideas and act collectively, versus the instituctionalised concept of a public space, which tries to turn streets into mere areas of transit, aeptic, constantly guarded and hierarchically managed based on elitist interests.The contributed mails will be shown on the street, lending a human touch for the perusal of the anonymous passers by who daily inhabit the space …Llos Mail adhesivos recibidos seran expuestos en la calle……Els Mail-adhesius rebuts seran exposats al carrer……Les Mails adhésifs recus seront exposés dans la rue……Le mail adesive ricevute saranno esposte in strada… Send to: Realiad Martim -Area de Cultura Peatón Díscolo c/o Miquel Romeu, 135-4a planta, 08907 L'Hospitalet de LL., Barcelona, Spain  I propagate  MAIL ART projects, with many pleasure                                                                              Please, send my MAIL ART call !
