Mail Out: Man = Hidden Tenderness, Latvia




Man = Hidden Tenderness
Theme: The Museum of J. Rozentals Saldus History and Art invites you to participate in mail art exhibition on the theme Man = Hidden Tenderness”. We are interested in how you perceive hidden tenderness in man. Maybe it is all of his quintessence? Maybe we can observe it in symbolic, extravagance or in some deformed way? But maybe man’s tenderness is not so hidden, that instead, we are just inattentive to it?
After the exhibition, results will be put in our blog: http://mymailart.wordpress.com/
Deadline to be received: May 5, 2010.
