The “Adjusting” International Mail Art exhibition had a terrific, albeit short run at The Courthouse in Kinvara. Over 200 works by more than 140 artists from 30 countries made for a diverse show in every sense of the word. Paintings, drawings, prints, collages and mixed media works were aplenty, but the real surprises came in the forms of sculpture in stone, metal, fiber, and wood. Audio works that were submitted allowed us to create a playlist that ran throughout the show. And one entry included a photograph and a QR code that when scanned took you to a virtual reality site that showed the photograph as part of a larger exhibition.
That was the kind of show it was. Exciting, immersive, tactile and apparently unlike anything ever seen around here.
And it isn’t over yet. We have had interest from schools in exhibiting the show, as offers from the community to build the container for the archive.
So my thanks to everyone who participated, supported, and viewed this show. And to all who joined and continue to participate in the facebook group. And if you missed it, I invite you to take a look at the exhibition catalogue.
