SIGNS AND STONES AND SNAKES, my project towards a new millennium 1999-2000

Documentation on a social mail art project in support of the Cuereghem area in Anderlecht, Brussels. A park was built on a wasteland right above the underground river Zenne. Snake murals by local kids and artists surrounded the park. A promised catalogue never saw the light, so that was a lesson in cooperation with local authorities. Nevertheless the snake project became one of the best mail art projects I developed, so no regrets !!! Non, je ne regrette rien (dixit Edith Piaf)

SNAKE STONE

From Tatjana Neuber, aka the witch, Germany, head of a snake painted on a tiny stone, one of the favorite objects in my collection. Reminded me very much of the Teaching Stones of the Australian Aboriginals. There exists a splendid book about that, bought 2 copies, second one was a present for Marilyn Dammann.
