The Map by Mário Quintana ( 1906 - 2006 )
” I see the map of the city
Like someone who examined the anatomy of a body...
(as if it was my own body!)
I feel a weird pain
From the streets of Porto Alegre
Where I'll never pass on...
There are so many strange corners,
So many wall nuances
There are so many beautiful girls
At the streets I didn't walk on
( And there is an anchanted street
 which not even in dreams I have dreamed...)”

STICKIN’ GLUE...
After pioneering sticker art with the documentation in 1993 of the extensive Stickerman Project (issue n. 67, “Stickerman’s Scrapbook”) that lead to the show Stick Up the Art! and the opening in Viareggio of The Stickerman Museum with works from hundreds of international artists, Vittore Baroni’s legendary Arte Postale! magazine - sustaining networking cultures since 1977 - returns with another special issue devoted to all kinds of adhesive creations. Taking into account the recent developments of street art, the publication intends to link stickerism to various underground traditions, from hobo’s marks to mail art, with a tip of the hat to Mark Perry’s seminal d-i-y zine Sniffin’ Glue... and to Piermario Ciani, the ideator of the Stickerman character as illegally and officially presented in several editions of the Venice Art Biennial (www.aaa-edizioni.it for more info).
To participate in the STICKIN’ GLUE... issue  of Arte Postale!, send a documentation of your sticker art (photos, texts, samples, etc. - the material will not be returned!) or of interesting stickers that you have discovered around the globe, and/or send 150 copies of a sticker of your creation (maximum size cm. 14 x 20) to be included in each copy of the zine. Deadline for all submissions is June 30, 2006. Include your postal address clearly, a copy will be sent free to each contributor.
