L.W.A. member Kathryn sent me the link to this project which I think is radical and remarkable and really, really awesome. [I tried to think of another "r" word and failed.] Lenka Clayton & Michael Crowe started a project where they sent letters to everyone in a small Irish town. They documented each of the letters they sent at this site, and there are a couple I've included at the bottom of this post that I rather liked.
Here's what they have to say for themselves:
"In April 2009, we sent a personal, handwritten letter to each of the 467 households in the small Irish village of Cushendall. We hoped these unsolicited letters would prompt neighbourly discussion, spreading across the town, promoting community curiosity.
The art work consists solely of the discussion between the recipients about what on Earth these letters are, who sent them and why, etc."
Thanks again to Kathyrn for the link. Remember, trusty members, that we are always happy to hear from you and thankful for any postal news you may have!
