I've been thinking.....

I've been thinking about hosting a Mail Art event and wondering what the theme, exhibition location etc could be. My latest thoughts have been to gather all the works I receive and pin them to a large overcoat. I would then visit the national gallery, national museum, commercial galleries etc and photograph/film myself wearing it as I walk around. If anyone asked about the works I'd hand them a small catalogue. So I'd be a walking exhibition gallery. Just a thought at this stage.

For those following at home........I've bought some clear acrylic keychains like this (below). I'm going to test them as possible ways for people's Mail Art to be displayed attached to the trench coat. It does mean the artworks would be tiny but they would attach well and I could 'display' a large number of them and have the artist's details on the flipside.

Question: what should I call this 'walking gallery'? Front runners are Gallery Flâneur or Vagabond Gallery.

That is BRILLIANT (with a capital BRILL)!! Bravo! I hope you do it. I'd love to see pictures of that happening.

When/if I get around to it I'll do a proper call out for participation. Thx for your interest :)

:D  nice idea..sounds funny. It the work does not fit on the coat you can also wear a hat with some works on it.
