I found this out there in the digital soup. dive in.
Postcard Project
i live in a group of 15 fantastic people. since the beginning of the year we have participated in a weekly workshop taught by one of our housemates. so far, amongst otherthings, we have made a portrait of chopin by the collage method, we have painted a stone age universe picture and we have learnt how to juggle! on february 23, i have signed up to be the guest professor and i would like to introduce my friends to the joys of mail art. first i will explain what mail art is as best i can, with the help of some beautiful things people have sent me, and then we will each make a unique postcard. i don't know what media it will be in as we have carpenters, painters, water colourists, collagists etc etc but i am sure they will all be very special. then we will address the postcards and i will send them off to whoever has sent me their address. this is where you come in, gentle reader. the idea would be for you to send me an email saying you are interested in this scheme, and to give me your address. then sit still, remembering of course to breathe, until you receive a postcard in the mail. next, make one yourself (however you
want, i think its nice if you are inspired by what you receive) and send it back to the name and address on the postcard. hopefully, the result is that everyone gets an original piece of art and everyone is happy.
hooray! i am asking for your adress in advance so we can get the postcards named and addressed on the same day. everyone who is interested will get sent a card.
i am excited about this project and hope it works out. if you are not interested in this particular mail art project but would like to correspond with me, that is also cool, my address is below. cheers!

summary:
the idea - give me your address and wait for a postcard made on feb23 to arrive. when it does, send a postcard you made back to the person who sent it! easy peasy!
media - postcard, open theme
materials - whatever works
payment- what?
documentation - you get to keep the postcard sent to you!
The deadline to reply is February 21, 2005.
