Creating a piece of banana to-be-mailed art on 21 February 2016 Banana day to send to someone I didn't send Banana mail to so far, to be sent by the 3rd Wednesday in April (= next Banana day, is it?) 2016.

That is, if I can finish it. Iever I'd find back this #$*% needle!

Banana in snow, thanks to Artist in Seine!

(Makes me wonder: who of you practises skiing and ever has been transported in a banana - 'banaan' is the Dutch word for rescue sled :-) ??)

*Anna Banana has been organizing and producing inter-active events, both live and through the mails since 1972. She is committed to actively engaging the public by making them part of the show/action. For example, the 1975 and 1980 Banana Olympics staged in San Francisco and Surrey, BC is a parody of the olympic games, with "foolish" race events such as the Bureaucrats' Marathon, the "flip & catch" banana event, etc. Members of the public participated as the "athletes."
Postcards and later letter size sheets with a drawing of a bare tree were sent to her mail-art network, with the instruction: "Leaf out this tree with banana stickers," resulting in over 150 responses from mail artists in the USA, Canada, Europe and South America.
Parody and humor are the mainstay of her work, whether performance, public events or mailart. She began this approach to art as the Town Fool of Victoria, BC in 1971 and continues today as Dr. Anna Freud Banana of the Specific Research Institute, moving from physical comedy to more ironic humor.

How to get there:
Pratt Institute Brooklyn Campus
200 Willoughby Ave, in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn,NY
is best reached by subway. Take the G train (front car) to the Clinton-Washington station. Use Washington Avenue exit. On Washington, walk one block north to DeKalb Avenue. Turn right onto DeKalb and proceed one block to Hall Street/Saint James to the corner gate of the Pratt campus. The Library is the Red brick building in front of the entrance.
There is no campus parking for guests, if you come by car, you'll have to park in the neighborhood around the campus, which may be difficult.
