(SCENE) Metrospace presents "Return To Sender: An Exhibit of Mail Art" opening with a public reception from 6-9 PM on Friday January 11, 2008.
This exhibit explores the 20th century tradition of mail art, drawing in works from across the country and around the world that are either tiny or grand, elegaic or spurious. The single uniting thread is that each piece of art has traveled by post, and has been handled -- and occasionally crushed, mutilated, spindled, or folded -- by strangers and by machinery charged with transporting our deepest secrets, our most sensitive personal and financial information, and in this case our fearless self-expression.
The exhibit includes artwork by Aaron Curtner, Hart Ryan Noecker, Marguerite Bryant, Ed Lahti, Michael Mosher, and more works from far-flung addresses! January 11th's reception will feature live DJ-ing by Ed Corcoran and refreshments. The reception is free and open to the public, however space is limited.
Exhibit continues through Sunday, February 24.
