LOST MAIL ART

Thanks Erni -- date corrected in original message: not 1089, but 1989!

A film about nothing? Most films I saw seemed to be about nothing...or nothing much. Which is why I haven't seen a film for about 26 years.

And I sincerely hope I will never have to see another one again.

Erni: From Don Thompson's, "The Supermodel and the Brillo Box":

"So what sort if art is created by someone* who has an abundant sense of humour, a history of insecurity and no formal art training? Lacking inspiration for his first solo exhibition in 1989, Maurizio Cattelan, closed the gallery and hung a sign reading 'Torno subito' (Back soon). The sign was both the exhibition title and the art exhibit."

(* I think 2 of these attributes apply to you, Erni.)

I like the idea of the exhibition for  elimination !

Erni -- it doesn't have to go anywhere. I've just been looking at an exhibition recently held at the Hayward Gallery, London, called "INVISIBLE: art about the unsees". Basically, it was about art that didn't exist -- but somehow an exhibition of non-existant art was curated, held, visited, reviewed, etc.

'Unmade' follows this approach...

anyone see this gal?

She has gone missing in Paris...or maybe in Greece.

It even had a barcode!

Possible that I did not place enough postage as this was

a bit heavy cardboard. But should it not be returned-to-sender???

So sad...where is #9??????

IUOMA is --inter alia, but sometimes I wonder -- for sent Mail Art and associated things (and it's the 'associated thing's that usually makes me wonder).

This Group is for Lost Art, ie Mail Art that went missing.

Should we move back a stage in the creative and postal processes and form a Group for Mail Art that was thought about but never actually made, let alone sent? The Unmade Mail Art Group?

I hope that today you get great enjoyment from my first piece of Unmade-Mail-Art-that-I-would-have-sent-you-if-it-existed_but-it-didn't

I know this sounds silly, and it's after midnight here in Paris, so silly is OK.

But you did put postage stamps on them?

Just seems a lot to be lost from one person.  Maybe try to send them from a different town.

I'm afraid I have lost Marek has not yet received, and this pains me because I thought that the children could receive
