This lovely poem and a collage arrived last week. Thanks Maxie!…

Thanks Rebekka for this!

I think the post did some add and pass too. Don't know if it's a coincidence that this letter and the one that arrived the day before both had the same type of transparent tape on the back of the envelopes. 

Anyway, the zine was interesting with well formulated thoughts about why we're in it and what we…

This very gray and rainy day a zine from Coco Muchmore arrived with brilliant colours & ideas.

I have never thought much about applying chance and rule-based methods to images, although I often do in music, but the construction of these portraits is really fascinating.…

Today the post box was burning hot, and waiting inside it was this:

Thanks Medwolf for these cards! 

interesting envelope containing a large sheet of ...

Thanks…

This came today:

Doesn't look much like most other mail art I've seen and received, but the timing is suspicious. Or maybe it was posted well in advance by someone thinking that the postal services will soon grind to a halt? 

Sent from Sweden and signed Sven Tuta, who could that be? A…

I'm so relieved to know that no avantgardes were harmed in the making of this envelope. Thanks Antipode!

All my sympathies with the cause for this strike, which I can't and won't join.

Thanks non, and all the best!

Merci Richard pour ta lettre et la traduction de ma poème !

Rice paper travels lightly. I don't know what a cdr print is, but it's a nice one.…

The day before Easter holidays I got this card from Stephan Mittweiser.

And today the brain cell arived, #1269.

Thanks to Stephan, Ryosuke, and everyone who made this…

Thanks non! Nothing arrived yesterday. 

Apparently there was something called "nothingism" or, approximately, nitchevokij in Russia around the time of Dada. Does anyone know about them?

I just got my long critique of generative AI published in ArtStyle. Might be of interest to some of you. At the end I quote Nonlocal Variable.

These cards and some more arrived this week. Thanks Isabelle!

Top: (optional neck tilt to view properly): We don't own a telephone. Yes, I can see precisely how happy these ladies would be if they had one. Bottom left: Vivre d'humour et de graine folle, it says on the back. Looks almost like the wheat I have growing outdoors. Right: een mens…

Thanks Zorica! It looks interactive, but I doubt it's really a digital app.

This and a lot more arrived earlier this week and I haven't even read all of it yet. Thanks non! Much appreciated.

This is what jumped out of my mail box yesterday from StradaDa:

Not familiar, but I'll look out for her. Is there a bounty?

Thank you Giovanni and…

Posted today, but apparently there are some holidays next week so we'll see when it arrives.

I like to reuse those envelopes with windows, usually reserved for officialdom. 

Outgoing to someone in Oregon. (Detail)

I too use to hang prints on a clothes line like that on my exhibitions.

Thanks for the catalogue!
