( please note: apart from Field Study Publications sent as gifts/exchanges, spare copies are also sold to institutions and artistbooks collectors. Field Study is a non-profit project and all the monies raised are ploughed back into the Field for future projects.)

In this very interesting  project David Dellafiora is asking for interactions and audience participation. 

I have responded with a call to mail artists to follow the  Shopping Trolley Gallery example. 

My response to his call therefore is to ask you to put one or several pieces of the Mail Art you receive on something you wear or carry around with you as I put Mail Art on my shopping trolley.

 Then send me a photo which I will  put up here. 

See the Gallery at the bottom of this page and also join in David's project, please read on ...

To give you the full picture I reproduce here the page I sent to David:

Frequently I receive unsolicited Mail Art, which is great and brightens up my day, as I realise that somebody out there is thinking of me. I collect it and when I have enough to cover the front of my shopping trolley I mount a show on it.  
In this way when I go to the shops the artwork you send me has the added opportunity of uplifting 
  also the spirit of passers-by. Now I invite you to do the same, put one or several pieces of Mail Art 
on your shopping bag, your sport kit, your purse. Slap it on your hat,. Wear it on your lapel. 
Stick it on your sleeve. Decorate with it your car, your bicycle, your canoe. And then if somebody 
expresses interest, give it away so it goes on acting its magic on more people. Then tell me about it, 
a photo would be nice but not essential, I shall be waiting.

All your mailings will be featured here as long as they fit the theme and I will also 
send snail mail documentation periodically to those who sent their contributions by post.

Send me your contribution by email or to:
