Greetings from the Brink


Greetings from the Brink is a mock-heroic take on the navel-gazing induced by prolonged self-isolation during the Covid pandemic and on the idea of personal exploration as an alternative to travelling. It was created in response to a call for participation in the mail-art project Stay Home / Mail Art from the Kunstmuseen Krefeld, which owns a collection of mail art works by the British artist duo Gilbert & George. Stay Home / Mail Art is now part of the permanent collection of the museum.

A special edition of Greetings from the Brink is included in KART- the magazine of multiplicity, no. 117, February 2022.

EXHIBITION

Stay Home / Mail Art , Studio 2 / Creative Lab, Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Joseph-Beuys-Platz 1, 47798 Krefeld, Germany, 19 June – 11 October 2020
