Greetings came in the post from Belgium by way of fripsmailart.blogspot.com/. This just as I was prepping my first found card (a Jack of Spades) to send off in a new mail art project I’m starting with DoubleYou in London. This one we might call Art Poker, Or Art Gin, Or Art Cards, or Art Shuffle or…. well we haven’t named it yet. It consists of finding a playing card in the street… something I do and collect because if it’s playful randomness… I mean how is it that you will sometimes find a random card on the sidewalk? It’s like finding a single shoe… Cinderalla of the game world. So the idea is that you alter this card in some way and then send it off to another artist to finish, or alter again and mail on… Could be interesting…. Shuffling the deck around the world as it were.
