"Death of mail art" - Lloyd Godman - Laser print 2004

Exhibition at UCN Gallery, Northampton, UK on the theme 'is mail art dead?' Dates 18th May - 4th June 2004. Radio interview about exhibition - BBC Radio Northampton 18th May 2004. Co-curated by Emma Powell and Barry Wenden (with excellent help from Melanie Bush, Sue Turner, Charles Mynard, John Holt, Jonathan Muddell and Chris Clare). The question 'is mail art dead?' was posed via the internet and snail mail. The response of over 300 entries proves resoundly that it is still alive and kicking! Postcards were sent in from as far afield as New Zealand, Argentina and Japan. Loads of entries were received from Britain, USA, Canada, Italy and Belgium. After the exhibition the work will be held as an archive at UCN. I hope the work will travel (via post of course) to other venues. Contact me on emma@rejectamenta.com if you are interested in exhibiting this work. A big thanks goes out to all who helped put this together and to all the participants.
