MAIL ART PROJECT 2014 – 2015

In this Mail Art Project, twenty artists from twelve different countries participated in a year-long project that had each of them creating one work over a period of 12 months. From August 2014 to July 2015, each of the twenty artists made a work to a maximum size of A4 (30 x 20 cm) and sent it as it appeared without encasing it in padded envelopes for protection. This approach took away the notion of art as a precious commodity and that it should be carefully handled. It was therefore possible to be damaged before it reached its intended destination. The wear-and-tear on its arrival is evidence of its journey and gave it an added history to their creation.
