It is such a free open and spiritually democratic way of doing art - making & sharing in one flow. The sharing-showing of my work is of a piece with its making.
I got fired up by Ray Johnson some years ago, reading ' Ray Johnson correspondences by organiser Donna de Salvo.. I return to it again & again.
Also 'Mailed Art in Uppsala Choosing Your Partner / Valj din Partner' , editor Peter R Meyer. In fact it was re-reading this catalogue today that led me to Google Klaus Groh and then found this website !

the river harbor and the trade routes,
the channels and the gardens of the palaces,
a constant reference to a change in system, material and colour.
Exchange
not only of goods but also of colours and scents,
artistic and architectural influences,
mutual knowledge, therefore culture.

Yes Schwitters' last Merz was made near Ambleside (I underatand) in the Lake District; and is now at Newcastle University if I'm not mistaken-- I'd love to visit it. I hadn't heard of the Porridge Installation before !
Funnily enough I have a book of Dieter Roth and am keen his assemblages and other work. Not so sure about the food though ! Food a common thread !!

Hi Laurence - Thanks for the friendship and the kind words. I like that little action packed sculpture piece I saw in your photos - looks like 4th Dimension stuff to me. Let's swap some Art, shall we? Something will be on it's way soon my new friend. Test
I don't understand the term 'my red number' though. Doesit have a special meaning in your country or language ? Or is it based on saying or proverb ?
Please excuse my ignorance
My Red Number, has not a special meaning in my country. But, as my MailArt theme, it refers to a important number, different for each individual. Red is the color symbol of icons, it is equal for attention, awareness, as a philosophical answer :)
