Leeuwenpoort presents: MAIL ART 0.1 by Adriana Kóbor

There is always something bigger than the sum of the elements. The whole. From the alienation of secluded places to the world — just a step further away.

Ellemeet is a tiny village on the seaside of the province of Zeeland, immersed in the colours of the sea and the dunes.

During the Leeuwenpoort artist-in-residence programme, Adriána Kóbor received some mail art from the “Temporary Network”. The works of mail artists will be presented for the first time on the 15th of April from 6 p.m. in Ellemeet, in all their colours.

The mail art call is still open to artists from all over the world to participate; with Adriána artist in residence and poet also present, together with her works in progress.

“I looked at the place and I thought: well, this is one of those paradises on Earth. I was sure I would be able to use my time to contemplate and write — and: to just be. Where you can pluck fresh oysters and enjoy the sunshine, pure poetry immersed in the silence of the thought, pure presence.” Adriána Kóbor

So far, so distant, so close, the envelops will open for the second time on the 15th of April, a Saturday, in #ellemeet* from 6 p.m.
