Mail Art

Spirit of the Mail Art

The idea is to communicate with somebody you may never see. All you can discover will be done through correspondance. This gives you a media to free your artistic skills. The enveloppe becomes a way to concretize feelings, imagination, crazyness, ...

These letters come from the private collection of Anick Butré. I won't give out addresses of people from this correspondance coming from exhibitions.

As long as you pay the appropriate amount of money for stamps, you can send anything. Just follow the few rules of the mail organization (US mail, La Poste, ...) and never send living animals or closed shells which could contain living animals!!!

To enter the World Mail Art Network, the best way to begin your address book is to participate to one of the exhibitions. You will receive a list of all the participants. Because of the multitude of correspondances, you may not receive replies to your first mailing. Slowly, but surely, you will create links with other artists, and you will wait for the postman everyday (if your creations are original)!
