Checks in the Mailart

"Wish You Were Here" postcard containing short story ©evertson 09

Well, not a check but my postcards that are on their way to

The Emily Harvey Foundation for this falls exhibition of

"A Book About Death" an unbound book about death. The

exhibit opens September 10th in NYC and runs through the

22nd of Sept. If you follow the A Book link you will be able

to watch the ongoing contributions to the exhibit as it

continues to evolve over the summer. Follow the Emily

link to find her all too short but fascinating biography as

well as information about the foundation.

Insert of my story Text Messages From the Dead is included with the postcard

My short story Text Messages From the Dead is included in the

postcard. Yes, the postcard has a 'secret' compartment.

The project, originated by artist Matthew Rose, draws inspiration

from the late Ray Johnson. His unbound "book" was mailed to his

New York Correspondence School "students". The global nature

of the exhibition is a reflection of Ray's influence in the realms of

performance, mail art and Fluxus.

A visit to the A Book site is a constantly evolving visual

treat. P.S. any fb members can join both the A Book About

Death group or the Ray Johnson page.

For me this was a

wonderful opportunity to excise a few demons concerning

the untimely deaths of loved ones and honor the

contributions of an exceptional art pioneer.
