Sinhalese New Year Mail Art Show
2002:
In 2002 we celebrated the New Year with
elephants. Forty-five artists participated and they were joined by
the local
children. The show took place at the Bishop Lanfranc
School, Croydon, South London, where it was seen by
the many visitors who came
to the Festival. It was filmed to be shown on Sri Lankan
television as usual and it will
also be shown worldwide on Sky Television.
Apples at the Café Prov and the Carnegie Library:

Eat
Your Art Out, our 2000 manifestation, was joined during November
and December 2001 by Apples.
In the photo of Julia Tant and I in the
Café,
the two rows
of postcards at the bottom of the wall are part of
EatYour Art Out and the postcards and artwork above is part of Apples.
Apples
was very well liked, it seems, as we had many contributors and
many of them sent
several pieces of work each.
It looked stunning in the cafe, the owners of the
business
are very pleased with our shows and
swear that there were more customers
since the walls were covered with Mail
Art. In
the month of January
2002
Apples was on show at the
Carnegie Library, Herne Hill, London.
Ex Libris at the Carnegie Library:
EX-LIBRIS
was a very interesting project. On the one hand it was
misunderstood by a few artists who sent very
beautiful books or
bookmarks; on the other
hand we
made contact with a whole lot of artists new to Mail Art who
specialize in bookplates and who
sent absolutely fantastic work. It was shown at the Carnegie Library for six
weeks at the beginning of 2002, where it was greatly admired..

Ex-Libris was shown again, this time by courtesy of David
Dellafiora in the Hub Gallery, Geelong, Australia as part of the
celebrations to welcome the Dalai Lama:

The Second International
Shopping Trolley Art Show:
 |
The S.I.S.T.A.S.
that is, the Second International
Shopping Trolley Art Show, was launched also
at the Carnegie Library on January 6, and did the
usual rounds of the local supermarkets until December 2003. |
New Millennium Resolution:
In January 2002 this project was shown at the Carnegie Library together with the
other projects on this page. This was its last airing. My New Millennium
Resolution was, and still is, not to hurry and do my very best, that is why it
took me so long to do the documentation.
