Profile Information

Mail-Artist since:: 1986

My Website (without http://):: http://www.thiswindow.org

Why I am involved in Mail-Art:: Was involved in the cassette / music side of mailart in the 1980s /90s. The whole idea of a network of artists connected by the postal system appealed to me and was an antidote to the stranglehold the 'Art / Music' establishment had over my creativity.

I have always considered mailart to be one of the major unsung heroes of Art History and every effort should be made to raise its profile.

Here are a few network related things I have done this millennium. http://www.thiswindow.org/Mail_Art/?cat=3

My Mail-Adress (snail and/or E-mail): contact@thiswindow.org

This Window (aka Peter Bright): I would have wanted to work, but deep down I’m enormously lazy. I like living, breathing, better than working. I don’t think that the work I’ve done can have any social importance whatsoever in the future. Therefore if you wish, my art would be that of living: each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral. It is a sort of constant futility.
