Profile Information:
- Mail-Artist since:
- 1980
- My Website (without http://):
- http://www.aillet.com
- Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
- For the Art project "Le Solitaire... des marées" : "Solitary…of Tides".
It has been the intention of Jean-Francois Aillet to invite 7000 people from every corner of the world to collect as many samples of sand from as many beaches. A major portion of the sand collected will be merged into a large Solitary to be situated atop his project: “Le Solitaire …..des marées” ("Solitary….of Tides”). This unique monument will be erected in a public place somewhere in the world in the future.
The artist Jean-Francois Aillet invites you to collect your sample from a moraine, from next to a waterfall or beside a river. along the shore of a lake or a stream, in a desert or on the border of an ocean. One should not, however, send him sand from a construction site. You are asked to document your collection of the material with a photo, taken as you are pouring the sand into a container. For an example, kindly visit his home page at www.aillet.com.
To date Jean-François Aillet has received 1160 samples. One may view these in a stable near “Pegasus Bridge” next to his residence. You, your friends and acquaintances are invited to see his project through to completion. Your name will be mentioned in connection with your sample. So please go out at once and gather sand, or bring it back from a beach where you vacation. - My Mail-Adress (snail and/or E-mail)

What a wonderful "cut-up" project Jean-Francois! Thank you for the link.
