A 26 week postal dance being choreographed by mail - with the intent to cross art forms and metaphors.
On 26 December 2020, there were 26 named boxes waiting to be filled, emptied, refilled, delivered, maybe thrown away. 24 were sent out in envelopes. 21 have been returned. Some are moving back and forth in proper correspondancing style.
On 30 March 2021, the project entered its second half. Please see below for updates if you are interested in taking part at this latter stage.
Documentation takes place initially on the 5 Foot Storyhouse blog. Confirmation has been received for holding physical exhibitions. If you would like to take part, please see below for latest updates, or just get in touch.

Awesome sauce from Francis Lamme: https://5ftstoryhouse.wordpress.com/2021/03/10/26-boxes-awesome-sauce/
Thank you Katerina and Carmela for your co-responses that I received in the last couple of days. And thank you Jennifer for your World Book Day mailing! This dance is getting busy and it is definitely starting to twist and turn now.
Hoola.
You're welcome, Carien, and it got to you fast!
At this point, 14 boxes are back, and at least 5 of those have become ongoing correspondances. It is invigorating fun. Thank you to all who are participating in what, so far, is a masked ball.
Thank you, Ilya, for that extra bit of information. I love the little bits of story that you add to your mail art once we receive it.
Dear Mel Anie, I am very pleased with Your message. The Silver Forest that was sent to You was made from advertisements that I bought at an auction.
Thank you, Ilya, for your very fine contribution to Silver Forest. The link is to my ongoing co-respon-dan-se to the envelope's exterior. https://5ftstoryhouse.wordpress.com/2021/02/11/26-straight-lines/
Thank you, Susan Weisberg, for your contributions to Box 6.
Yours arrived already, Katerina! You're welcome, but goodness me, what has happened to these postal services? It can't make up its mind. But I like the way they are currently behaving for Greece and UK. And from your photo, Katerina, I don't remember sending a white square with a blue question mark (! hahahahaha).
