agi-open-london: Hans Fabigan — Plakate Fabigan (1955)
etudes-studio: TRANSITIONSA traveling exhibition of artwork that not only arrived through the postal service but is post.Opening  Friday 6:00pm  March 8th, 2013. Art Park Gallery5/11 Banksia Drive, Byron Bay. Australia.Mail art, widely agreed to have officially begun with Ray Johnson in the 1960’s, and famously practiced by the Fluxus artists, can be dated back to when Cleopatra had herself delivered to Julius Caesar in a rolled-up carpet. Transitions continues this tradition by creating an exhibition that goes on the road. Celebrating tactile correspondence and continuing the tradition of mail art Transitions is an exhibition that uses the international postal system as process, medium and also exhibition space as unwrapped work is experienced in transit by postal workers in various mail centres the world over.As our world speeds up and communication becomes quicker and easier, tactility and personalised communication is lost. Choosing the well trodden, but now overgrown paths past, this exhibition of postcards from all over the world brings the physical back to correspondence. In tune with the sharing nature of this exhibition and the usually anti-commercial nature of mail art, at the conclusion of the exhibition each artist will randomly receive the artwork of another artist in the mail.
