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 collaboration

Meters long this is, papers sticked together and then drawn and rubbings;
the drawings are by Johanna Louds, the rubbings by Célia de Matos, 2 underaged girls from France, dispatched by Marie Hamard. I love the fact that in the end tail of the snake there is a pussycat!
