<p>Oh Yes! It was a limited-time adventure. Be that as it may, I will gradually look for new institutions ready to accept mail-art for eternal storage.</p>

<p>I am very upset because the Museum of Moscow no longer accepts Mail Art for its funds. This is due to the change of leaders in this museum. The new leaders are very cool about contemporary art and are not going to increase the existing collection; they will only keep what is already there.</p>

<p>Dear <a class="nolink"><span> </span></a><a href="https://iuoma-network.ning.com/profile/CynthiaSillitoe">Cynthia Sillitoe</a>, I have experience in creating an archival fund for Mail Art in the Museum of Moscow.

At my call, some artists from different countries sent their surpluses to the museum, these were art objects that were already difficult to keep at home.

<p>I decided to tackle it another day and it's still sitting here. Except I'm not sure where, but when I find it, I'm considering seeing if artists--especially new ones--might want one really cool complete project instead of trying to find someone to take a lot of it. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks for the answer! </p>

<p>Good Grief Cynthia, no one has responded.</p>
<p>So by now, a year later almost, what did you decide to do?</p>
<p>I got the university I used to be affiliated to take a big box of</p>
<p>my archives for their special collections, but they don't seem</p>
<p>to be interested in any more. I have two smaller boxes collected</p>
<p>now. I'm feeling the same way. What to do with our received mail.</p>
<p>I even have a box of someone else's collected mail from one person</p>

<p>I even have a box of someone else's collected mail from one person</p>
<p>AND that person sent me back a number of cards that I sent to HER.</p>
<p>Really difficult when one is trying to be minimal which is</p>
<p>why I do mail art so I can make art and mail it away, not have to</p>
<p>find storage for my own art in my house.</p>
<p>I'm going to check with a local community collage. Maybe I can</p>
<p>do a free workshop and then give them my archives.</p>
<p>oooh tricky. </p>
<p>I'll let you know if I have any luck</p>
