Mail art

Send mail art this week. As Wiki explains:

'Mail art is a worldwide cultural movement that began in the early 1960s and involves sending visual art (but also music, sound art, poetry, etc.) through the international postal system.'

Scroll this mail art blogspot to see postcard examples.

Multi-media projects can grow out of mail art; see this video on youtube to set you thinking.

Talk about your ideas on these words: Art out of control.

Find out about Ray Johnson.

And some lucky person in Buckinghamshire will soon receive my own hand-crafted joy on an envelope. (I bet they can barely breathe in anticipation.) But we can call both sender and receiver an experiment in mail art.
