GOOP goes to VEGAS & GRAND CANYONS












GOOP GALLERY
never sleeps especially while in Las Vegas. We packed our nickels and our MAIL ART and headed for the land of 24/7. The drinks are free, the people are friendly and nobody bugs you. Then it was off to Arizona to see the Grand Canyons. The splendor of the Canyons was no match for our MAIL ART. Come visit us at GOOP to see our traveling MAIL ART collection!

howdy ya'll,

More rain on this tourDAtour of MAILart - we curate a small MAILart gallery called GOOP - basically we receive/send small postcard sizes of art around the world and receive art back and exhibit that art thru our small gallery - GOOP Gallery - during the year we go on a few tourDAtours showing the art in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways NOT in conventional gallery ways - we show in coffee chops, donut shops, laundromats, fishmarkets, outside in doorways, parks, etc... lots of fun - now we're on a two week tourDAtour from Ontario to Newfoundland doing our curating of MAIL ART.

so far on this 'tourDAtour' we've shown in Ottawa, Smith Falls, Belleville, Toronto, Kingston, Montreal, Trois Riviere, Quebec City, Riviere du Loup, Edmunston, Woodstock, on our way to Newfoundland having fun. (this Saturday GOOP will be at the Boyce Market and at the Mazerolle Gallery on Queen St. in F'ton from 11-one p.m. come on down!!)
