We love writing and sending letters, touching the paper, folding the paper pieces into the envelope, going to the post, and sending them. We enjoy completely this whole process, more nowadays that all has become so virtual. Jamie Lee Byars was an american artist who used letters as part of her performances and actions. This heart shaped one was a letter that she sent to one of her main collectors in Brussels.
We discovered it while organizing an exhibition in Haus der Kunst a while ago. I couldnt help making a photo of it since it was so beautiful! Just the thought of sending a huge amount of love and thankfulness to one of her main supporters in such a generous and modest way is pure elegance.
