In April 2009, we sent a personal, handwritten letter to each of the 467 households in the small Irish village of Cushendall. We hoped these unsolicited letters would prompt neighbourly discussion, spreading across the town, promoting community curiosity.
In November 2009, we sent another bundle of letters, this time 620, to each home in Polish Hill, Pittsburgh, USA.
The art work consists solely of the discussion between the recipients about what on Earth these letters are, who sent them and why, etc.
Hi Lenka and Michael,
ReplyDeleteI just had to tell you that I love your idea. It's so original and nice! Keep writing, I look forward to your letter. :-)
Dear Lenka and Michael,
ReplyDeletethis is the loveliest thing I've seen in ages. Well done on coming up with such a great joy-giving project.
I hope you keep going, too.
