This is a place for listing mail art project ideas – however impossible, theoretical or incomplete they might be. Think of it as an archive or a dumping ground for projects that haven’t yet or cannot, practically speaking, be realised. Think of it also as a bank of ideas that may inspire other mail artists.

Re CABINET: What a nice idea!
CABINET
For a long time now I have had an idea for an imaginary cabinet of curiosities
A photograph of one of the early Surrealist exhibitions shows a large cabinet full of objects: found things, made-up things, all sorts from Duchamp to tribal art.
There is also a rather odd film called 'The Omega Man'. I won't go into the plot (Look the film up for a fun hour or so but beware the re-make!) but in it, Charlton Heston lives in a fortified penthouse suite believing that he is the last man on earth (!). He has filled his flat with artwork 'borrowed' from the galleries: Van Gogh and all sorts; things he could never have owned under normal circumstances.
My project - or game if you will - is to imagine your own cabinet. Any size and in any sort of room. Once imagine, fill it with any number of things. Whatever you consider worth the keeping. Then document it by a list of contents, a drawing, collage or photograph.
Send the completed documentation to any, or all, museums or art galleries; as a suggestion for a possible exhibition.
What fun!
