The Philpott Lake Project

Information

I came across almost 50 unused postcards of an unfortunate looking lake in Virginia at a junk shop yesterday and I think they have potential.

I was hoping that I could send them out to any interested artist, they could alter them as they see fit, send them back to me, and I could publish the responses in any format the group would like. Maybe I could scan them and create a Tumblr page?

No restrictions on the medium or content, first 47 responses, and I will publish as we go.

I am open to any and all suggestions.

I am also a new member, so please correct and forgive me if I don't understand quite how things work yet. Participants will be sent a piece of art from me as well.

Comment by Carmela Rizzuto on September 24, 2016 at 11:10pm: Diana--It must have been time consuming to frame all of the mail art--I even recognize my entry with its envelope. Thanks again for bringing mail art to your corner of the world. The rest of the exhibit looks stunning.

Comment by Diana Hale on September 20, 2016 at 12:18am: Hi, everyone! I just uploaded a few photos of the installation to Google Drive, Philpott Lake Show, and I will address invitations this evening.

Comment by FinnBadger on September 18, 2016 at 12:47pm: Hi, No invite here, either, so I suspect a glitch there.

Comment by Gü on September 18, 2016 at 12:48am: Look forward to seeing all the postcards together, well done Diana for making this happen. I didn't get an invite, but it's no biggie.

Comment by Diana Hale on September 18, 2016 at 12:07am: Carmela, it was lots of fun and well attended. I will post a few photos tomorrow and hopefully take photos of the installation this week. I am sorry that you didn't get an invitation, I have a list of everyone's addresses to the school and I was told they would mail them out almost a month ago (I was missing one or two, but not yours). Has anyone else received an invitation? I will pick up more and mail them out myself if they never went out. Apologies!

Congratulations! Hope the opening night was fun! I would love to have an invitation when you do send them out.
