Sorry I haven't posted.

Today I checked the back of the lovely mailart from Jim Kaufmann and was suprised to find that the address label had disappeared. Then I found it lingering under the table, it must have fallen off while perched on the wall. Here are some Inspiring Apologies From The World Wide Web.

Jim Kaufmann

Girl Is On His Mind by Jim Kaufmann
More happiness! This wonderful piece of mailart just arrived in my post box from Iowa to London. It arrived just like this, without any envelope or packaging - there is something magical about art travelling in this way. I met the work of Mr Kaufmann through flickr. You can see more of his work here.

Ray Johnson

Raven Row’s inaugural exhibition is the first large UK show of the collages and mailings of New York artist Ray Johnson (1927–1995). Johnson used radical means to construct and distribute images, inadvertently inventing the ‘mail art movement’. He made art out of social life – both real and imagined – gathering celebrities, the art world, and friends into his work.
