More about the release
1 Notes

In Soviet Era Eastern Europe, dissident artists practiced samizdat--"the clandestine copying and distribution of literature banned by the state."

"Ray Johnson plays the U.S. Mails like a harp"--Bill Wilson

THE SAMIZDAT NETWORK is in these traditions. These are tough times, folks. It's times like these that it's good to be in contact, away from prying eyes, with things we can touch and hold in our hands and pass on to somebody else as a gift.

Join THE SAMIZDAT NETWORK and I will randomly send you works of art, via the IRL mail service. Many but not all will be collages. Also some instructions or suggestions.

"Analog Instagram"

This is another way of thinking about THE SAMIZDAT NETWORK. Isn't it more fun to think about randomly getting a piece of art (and hopefully you like my art--if not, pass it along) than randomly seeing a photo on your instagram feed? I'm more interested in sharing it that way.

THE SAMIZDAT NETWORK

Created by

An analog mail-art network, inspired by the work of self-published dissident artists in the Eastern Bloc countries of the Soviet Union. Original artwork delivered to your snail mailbox, at irregular intervals. We don't need social media to connect. Join the Samizdat Network--freedom never came so cheap.
