Dear Colleagues, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Spencer Art Reference Library was one of the lucky recipients of an art mail project by artist David Horvitz. The unsolicited mail art project was sent to 31 museums around the world: http://wherecontainer.tumblr.com/post/89456649450/special-event-david The package contains remnants of paperback books that were sanded to a fine powder. To those opening this package the plume of white powder can be an unwelcome surprise. If your institute is one of the lucky recipients, it might be best to open the package carefully. The manila bubble envelope clearly states that it is from David Horvitz.
