  Being a mail artist, influenced and artistically shaped by Vittore Baroni, Enrico Sturani and Klaus Staeck, I am "by nature" opposed to exhibitions, with a few exceptions, mostly when cards and multiples without "master work" were the subject of the show.

INCREDIBLE HOT SEASON: group show curated by Jim Avignon at Gallery onetwentyeight, NYC

  For this show I did shoulder stands in the gallery window in the 3 days preceding the show. When passer-bys looked in through the window I took their photograph. Of 54 of these phographs I had postcards printed at the famous Luster Printshop and assembled them to a square piece. At the opening and during the show thereafter, whenever someone recognized her or himself in one of the photographs she or he could take the postcard along. Thus the piece was constantly changing its shape.
