L'ART DE LA CARTE POSTALE/POST CARD ART: MERCI BEAUCOUP/THANK YOU TO.......

Bonjour/Hello!

I've been away for a week or so, and am desperately trying to catch up with all sorts of things, especially to you kind folks who have sent me Post Cards for my Exhibitions in the last few days.

The response to date has been fantastic, in fact so great that this week I can no longer to send individual thank yous, so, just for once (I hope), here is a BIG & COLLECTIVE THANK YOU to:

Carina Granlund: Sunset or Pollution and the treasure map envelope

Another hand painted piece from Carina.  Well the sunset or pollution part is hand painted.  The rest is a photograph from the 1960's.  I know because my Mom use to have that same orange dress.

  But wait, there is more.  It arrived in this treasure map envelope.  It looks like the treasure is buried on one of the Arcas Cays island.  I can't wait to find it.…

Mail Received - Cindy Moser

A thick and padded envelope contained a sweet surprise: an handmake notebook by Cindy Moser, made of brown paper bags for me "to play with" as she says in her note. A small key attached to a string echoing the message "Art is the Key"…

Mail Received - Torma Cauli

Among all mail artists I have exchanged mail with, Torma is the mail artist closest to me physically. Budapest is only a few hours away from Vienna, by car, train or boat down the Danube, although as our countries have been separated by the Iron Curtain for a long time it also still seems a world apart.

There is something very endearing about Torma's…

Mail Received - Mr. Colori

Museum of Instant Images

Out of the blue, or rather out of the clear blue sky I received an envelope including a digital collage from Mr. Colori, who - perhaps unexpectedly lives not in Italy but in the Netherlands. On the left the card I recognize a…

Mail Received - Janine Weiss

A surreal and humorous card came from Janine Weiss, crazy girly stuff, dresses, long eye lashes, hair, flowers and bling. I love how the card seems to be thrown together on a whim, in a burst of energy, also because some elements are not glued but stapled on. This adds to the three dimensional feel of the card, if you bend it slightly pieces seem to move. Ah,…

Mail Received - Taidgh Lynch

Taidgh sent me a wonderfully rich and colourful envelope with silly creatures, spilling over to an extra card. Taidgh also included some of his poems and a lovely handwritten note - which deserves a more personal response than a blog…

Mail Received - Arac

This card from Arac is hilarious, definitely "unlike anything on television", an bold encouragement to "resist conformity" and to chart one's own weird path. Ah, is this an old hippie at heart speaking here? More wisdom and damn…
