Comment by Ruud Janssen on October 10, 2016 at 5:58am: Exhibit with work by Serge Segay in Netherlands:

Er is niet alleen mailart te zien en de nadruk ligt op Visuele poëzie. Mooi werk van Segay en Nikonova en een boek van 430 pagina’s met heel veel afbeeldingen. Samenstellers: Lemmens en Stommels. Zeer de moeite waard. Oplaag 500 exemplaren. Het eerste exemplaar werd aangeboden aan August, een zoon van het Russische echtpaar. De tentoonstelling duurt nog tot half januari.
