BORING POSTCARDS EXHIBITION -- HELP!

I have put together a collection of Boring Postcards that I will exhibit in Sigean France in November, and, hopefully in many other places.

It consists of 42 A3 pages, divided into 18 sections (roads; hotels and motels; beaches; transport: etc)

I am writing to you to see if you can help me with the marketing.

I hope to sell this exhibition to a number of galleries (library, art school, institution, café, etc) in several different countries.

The exhibition is in the form of a 42 page ready-to-print exhibition that can be supplied in a high-resolution A3 format PDF download.

If a gallery is interested in purchasing it (for €100, $100), all it has to do is to print it out...and then display it. It takes up about 9m of hanging space.

Can you help me by providing names of any galleries, etc that might be interested in buying it, please? Then I will approach them.

I can send you a short marketing version of this Boring Postcard exhibition if you send me your email address (mine is billytulip1956@yahoo.com), as it is too large to send via IUOMA.

I hope you can help.

Long Live Boring Postcards!

Łódź Teofilów - such a district of the city, postcards from around 1976 - 1978. Older residents of the Teofilów estate certainly remember when an aircraft stood on a plinth at the site of today's symbol of Teofilów. It was a TS-8 Bies, constructed for training purposes. The machine appeared on the Teofilów estate in the 1970s, and disappeared from the urban landscape in the 1990s. During this time, the place was a landmark for many residents, who used to meet up for meetings 'by the plane'.
