a calendar of stamps for the future


I heard some disparaging comments about mailart a few weeks ago. It was something like 'the audacity of using mail art to protest about climate change!' Mail art is a game. Mil art is deadly serious. Stamps are canvases, miniatures, graphic perfection, a tile of protest or enthusiasm. Here Mikel uses his 'stamps' as abstractions, telling the reader something, but also illegible. Asemic? Game over 2050? I hope not.
