Mail Art Experiment No. 2

The "Return To Sender" stamp is not totally clear and I can't see that any alternative has been ticked. I think they did investigate the matter though, since it took almost three months for this envelope to travel from Stockholm to Los Angeles and back.

 

Sent to Langley

Soccer Mail Art to Louisville

 

I sent this letter to Robert Penick, a fine poet, to help him understand the true art of soccer...will this help?

Relaxin' at the Camarilo

 

Charlie Parker, who wrote the tune “Relaxin at The Camarillo”, was a genius, an outstanding musician with unique improvisational skills; the sound of his alto saxophone flew like a bird over any chord changes. His tone was sharp as a welder's flame.

In 1946 he spent six months at a mental institution in California, the Camarillo State Hospital in Ventura County. He was sent there after being charged with indecent exposure and arson. Parker was arrested for an incident where he fell asleep while smoking and set his hotel bed on fire. This was after wandering through the hotel lobby wearing nothing but socks (don't we all dream about doing that).

I felt like doing some mail art investigation regarding this matter and above is the result.

Cavellini stickers

Cavellini sent me a large folder with things in 1984, here are the stickers he included. The advertised exhibit is now only a few years away.

 

Contract

Finally, after almost a year of negotiations and travelling back and forth, this contract was signed today! Now I just have to wait for the geeart to arrive.
