Sounds like a must for those living in and around London.  I shall be putting up an exhibition in Leeds that day so sadly can't be there.

hey uk mail artists - anyone up for a meet up? We're meeting on the evening of 21st June for a Field Studies show at the v&a as an Australian mail artist is coming over to visit.

Thanks for everyone for sending pieces - I agree with all of you that these closures of all the things that we love, the libraries, the postal service, etc is a disgrace. 

 

I hope that what we do by just taking part in little things like what we are doing with this, getting people going through the doors of the library, will help in whatever small way it may. It's only if we do nothing, not use our mail service or our libraries that they can have an excuse to close them.

hi I just finished my story,I shall post it soon, after I cover it in rubber stamps as usual. I am lucky to live half an hour away from Pimlico so I am very much looking forward to the show and will report here.

I will definately send something too - a good cause if ever there was one!   Its tragic how this pathetic government of misfits is dismantling everything.  Where will it end for goodness sake. Book burnings?

Hurray! Thanks Martha, it's hugely upsetting for me too. I use the libraries all the time as there's no way I could afford to buy books and comics these days. If they went that would certainly mean I would read less.

I was happy to se some big names like Mark Haddon and Philip Pullman putting their weight behind the save our libraries campaign this weekend. These cutbacks are really starting to get me down and ultimately they don't punish those responsible.

Looking forward to seeing your mailart on the walls of Pimlico librar Martha, thanks for your support!

Michael this  is a brilliant idea. In my latests projects I have very little response from UK artists, where have they all gone? Let's stand up and be counted. And I shall send a story to Westminster libraries, the closure of which has me very upset.

Hey uk mail artists, nows a chance to get involved with a London show. Westminster libraries are requesting postcard-sized stories for display at Pimlico library as part of their graphic novels season. Deadline is March 11 and I would LOVE to see uk mail artists represented!
