Journal Of Field Study International, Field Report 2025 nr.32

The 32nd edition of Field Report is a heartfelt tribute to Ruggero Maggi, one of the great figures of Mail Art. Thanks to David's relentless dedication and enthusiasm, this annual publication continues to connect artists across continents, celebrating the generosity and creative exchange that have always defined the Mail Art network. As always, this edition is filled with thoughtful, diverse, and inspiring contributions.

Many thanks, David!

FROM: David Stone, USA

I always feel privileged to receive one of David's poetry books. This latest one, L'Flaneur, with cover art by Cheryl Penn, is another fascinating collection. David's poetry never follows an obvious path. Instead, it drifts through unexpected images and ideas, inviting the reader to wander rather than search for a single meaning.

Thank you very much, David!

FROM: Beltran Laguna, Spain

A calendar beginning with July, wishing me a "Happy Half Year!" It made me smile. Funny, simple, and very Fluxus. Beltran's work is always brilliant!

Many thanks, Beltran!

FROM: Lancillotto Bellini, Italy

Always so nice to receive Lancillotto's beautiful postcards with his elaborations of iconic people portraits.

Thank you very much, Lancillotto!

FROM: Carlo Vedova, Italy

Life at the school where Carlo teaches and introduces his students to Mail Art. I think it's a wonderful way to stimulate creativity and open their minds to a broader idea of art and communication. Here are some postcards and a small book made by students of the Istituto Comprensivo di Mezzacorona, along with a small but very interesting diary of disciplinary notes documenting some episodes from school life.

Thank you very much, Carlo!

From Domenico Ferrara Foria, Italy

25 beautifully made artistamps sheets made for my the sPMATSzine project.

Various artistamps and includes a postcard of a poster for Move Your Archives 2016 and a Money Art bill. Beautifully crafted.

A fabulous commemorative card 2014 to honor Gugliemo Marconi made for the Circolo Filatelico Guglielmo Marconi di Sasso Marconi (Bologna) and containing a coin of 100 Liras dated 2014.

I always enjoy receiving Domenico Ferrara Foria's beautiful mailing. The designs of his artistamps are distinctive, carefully crafted, and produced with great attention to detail. I especially appreciated the Marconi commemorative card issued in collaboration with the philatelic association, a thoughtful and elegant piece and a lovely addition.

Thank you very much Domenico for sharing your creativity!

FROM: Vittore Baroni, Italy

'keep on assembling'....like a quiet mantra for hands and hearts at work. Vittore reminds us that creation doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to continue.....piece by piece, page by page, we build something shared. The CD has 13 tracks, songs in various musical styles...country, rock, pop, jazz, balad....

it is a ri😁t! love it!

In the world of assembling zines and mail art, the joy lives in the doing, the exchanging, the connecting. ...so keep it moving, keep it playful and keep on assembling!!

Many thanks, Vittore!!

Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group

This site contains several years of research in the classification of occlupanids. These small objects are everywhere, dotting supermarket aisles and sidewalks with an impressive array of form and color. The Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group has taken on the mantle of classifying this most common, yet most puzzling, member of phylum Plasticae.

Many thanks, nonlocal!!

FROM: Helmut King, Austria

in addition to these fab contributions for the Zine in a Box project and postcards of the Cigarette People.

I also received his beautiful book: Cigarettebox People, works which hover between sculpture, totem, illustration, and reliquary, in glazed wooden boxes.

a following chapter of L'Flaneur, II. A flaneur is an observer of city life in search of adventure and fulfillment, and David, through his poetry takes us for a surreal stroll in search of adventure.

Many thanks, David!
