Juanita Lanaux's Page

Dear Juanita,
20 people reacted on the idea of a collaborative book. I decided to "a first in first take" approach. Because you were the first to react the book will go to you and after that you'll mail it to John Bennett.

Hi Juanita,
Mail art is a process, a process of transformation also. You'll change by doing mail art and by networking. You'll see. You follow your own journey.
Thanks for the feedback,
Guido

Juanita, in a letter that accompanies the mail art book I talk about Lois Klassen (she combines quilts into comforters, blankets for refugee camps all over the world). You'll find her address in the letter but she has also a very good blog that describes her art interventions: http://loiszing.blogs.com/
She's Canadian by the way and not on IUOMA.

Hi Juanita,
Mailed you a compilation mail art book this weekend. A shop near my job went bankrupt and they gave away their musical scores.
So I worked in such a book for you. Hope you'll enjoy this when it reaches you.
Guido
