Mail/Art/Book

Last night was the opening of Mail/Art/Book at the San Francisco Center for the Book.  It’s a truly global exhibit with art from all over the world.  All of the art arrived via the mail to curators Jennie Hinchliff and John Held, Jr.  The opening was packed and I saw familiar faces and plenty of mail art from different artists who I correspondence with.  I wasn’t surprised to see Susanna Lakner had sent went one of her groovy little hand made books all the way from Germany (see above).  Phyllis Lucas-Haddon sent in a delightful tribute to her letter carrier (see above).  The show runs until April 27, 2014.  And look closely and you also will see a piece I sent through the mail (see below) in one of the display cases.
