mm== [[Mail Art]]: A project between Emily Carr University of Art + Design,Vancouver and UBC Okanagan, Kelowna January 18-22nd, 2016

Co- Organized by Gary Pearson and Landon Mackenzie

This project is based on historic "Mail Art" projects that were popular in the 1970s. Whether through the ideas of conceptual art of Fluxus, artist with a desire to reach international peeers, without much money and before the era of Globaization, could use the poastal service to mail projects to exhitions throughout the world and exhibited in events or artis run venues and mostrly not returned. The envolopes, postcards, small boxes and tubes showed postage stamps and postal service cancellation marks, and where often exhitited salon stryle and on tables. Ofter the outer mailing container was as interesting as what was carried within. 

For this project, I have rolled Yellow Grid #1 on canvas and designed the tubes to be mailed in. I have just sent it yesterday and looking forward to see images of what it will look like at the Fina Gallery at UBC Okanagan. So if you are going to be at the gallery, please send images as I won't be traveling to the show. I need your help on that one!
