a<--->e
is a collaborative project between eleanor o’connor, adele ball, the royal mail, and the united states postal service.

seventeen times back and forth across the atlantic, this packet of ephemera, letters, prompts has been scanned, reprinted, bound, taped, sewn, stamped, pressed, folded, reorganized since 2015.

each round is a publication, a snapshot of each artist’s practice, a trust fall between two nation’s postal services.

the project basks in materiality, reveres slowness.
it is an intimate monthly archive.
a collection of the first twelve rounds was published in june 2016.
a<--->e got lost in the mail on its sixteenth crossing.
