Hi Ruth.......
Your interesting first reflections on the curating of DIWO answers many of
the questions I had hoped to ask, but as always there are more raised to bat
back....
is there a tendency with this sort of work to be self consciously/ self
referencing (not always a bad thing at all in my head), you know the kind of
thing.... mail like art icons or mailart like icons..
If that is a theme or thread, then is the absurd/ or just different nature
of the real time email correspondance rather than the snail mail reflective
vibe of time delayed exchanges, the focus of the work?
Does it become a work or body of work ABOUT the post snail mail world we
inhabit, or something i cant quite manage to express in an email!?
Ive just spent an hour opening DIWO attachments chronologically, great project.
