GRANDE ARTISTA!

Serge mailed a wonderful cover design for mail art's first internet webzine, "Netshaker". Bemoaning the unreliability of the Soviet Postal System, Serge wrote, "We can send, but we can't receive". In 1989, Serge wrote: Many thanks for publishing my letter about the problems of Russian mail art. I'm not afraid of trouble because I am unofficial artist (non-conformist), as you know, we have two art systems in our country."

So very sad to hear of Serge's passing. Within the mail art movement his contributions, publications, and correspondences were legend. I have a diary entry for Serge Segay in The Eternal Network Mail Art Archive, but it exceeds the word limit here.
