The purpose of an artist's a postcard is to express an idea, aesthetic and intellectual, specifically and exclusively in the form of a postcard, that could be actually postable, even when made of wood, or bone, or steel. The exhibits are not merely postcard-sized paintings, but instead they engage individually with the form and purpose of the postcard.  The exhibition's title ‘The Postcard is a Public Work of Art’ is taken, with the approval of both artists, from a postcard of 1996 designed by Simon Cutts and printed by David Bellingham at his Glasgow imprint WAX366.

To accompany the exhibition we are producing a publication of a boxed-postcard catalogue, drawn from Hans Ulrich Obrist's breakaway catalogues Hotel Carlton Palace Chambre 763 in Paris in 1993 and Take Me (I'm Yours) at the Serpentine Gallery in London in 1995. This form was itself inspired by the work of Lucy Lippard in the 1970s. Our postcards-of-the-postcards are an extension of this idea.

Exhibition open Thursday - Saturday, 11 - 6pm
Artists Postcard Workshop, Saturday 8 February, 3 - 5pm

Happy Collaging 2014!

I should have added these collages yesterday while it was still 2013 but better late than never!  I made most of them at the VAC Gallery in Northwich whilst volunteering last Monday.  Most of the coloured one " Box Collector" was made at home for the latest theme at The Kollage Kit  blog.
