Art is never true. How can it be, when it is subject to the follies and obsessive passions of an artist? Reporters, on the other hand -- if they are not the paid toadies of a patron or enslaved servants of a tyrant -- are always looking for the truth behind the screen of public and private events. So who is more to be trusted to find the truth -- the artist or the journalist? Perhaps the question should rather be -- who is more to be pitied, the artist or the reporter?
These mail art pieces answer none of those questions. They are like having radishes for breakfast -- the results are either questionable or indigestible.
