During a stay at the Emily Harvey Foundation in Venice mid-April to mid-May, 2014, I was invited to participate on a panel, Mail Art, Art in Trench and to show several pieces in an exhibition, both curated by Ruggero Maggi at Spazio Thetis. I was asked to speak about the connection between Mail Art and Visual Poetry.

My MAIL ART Archive 1983–2023 has been accepted into the Special Collections & Archives, University of Iowa Libraries, Iowa City, IA. The library has an extensive collection of mail art and visual and concrete poetry. I sent seven boxes of MAIL ART by artists from around the globe, included: art on postcards, catalogues, exhibition documentation, posters, visual and concrete poetry, letters, photographs, books and miscellaneous ephemera. I also contributed a mail art project of black and white paintings mailed from Venice to the library.
