Behind one of the finest eighteenth-century shopfronts in London, situated on a street whose original name it has retained, Raven Row will present five exhibitions a year in a series of historic rooms onto which leading young UK practice 6a Architects have added two contemporary galleries. Raven Row’s inaugural exhibition will be the largest yet in Europe of the collages and mailings of Ray Johnson, described by the New York Times in 1965 as 'New York's most famous unknown artist'. Johnson, who pioneered ‘mail art’, lived in self-imposed exile from galleries between the seventies and his death in 1995. Raven Row's programme is intended to appeal both to the specialist audience and a broader, curious public. It is led by a desire to show the most interesting work that has somehow escaped London’s attention, both by established interna tional artists, and by those whose practice has eluded the canons of art history. Flats in the building’s upper floors will host visiting artists and curators and occasional residencies organised by invitation. The first residency by the activist sound collective Ultra-red starting in March 2009, will coincide with Raven Row's second exhibition, of work by German pop artist Thomas Bayrle and Danish film and sound artist Ann Lislegaard. Other exhibitions in 2009 will include a collaboration between LA artist Dave Hullfish Bailey and London artist Nils Norman, and the first UK exhibition of the video installations of Harun Farocki, one of Germany's most significant filmmakers. Four Corners Books, an acclaimed non-profit publisher of artists' books and books on art, will be based in the building and will organise occasional exhibitions and share events there. Raven Row 's intention is to explore what it might mean to be of 'cultural value' to London, and its programming model will be subject to regular scrutiny and experiment. Attendance figures, accessibility, critical attention, and educational use will all be taken into consideration, but the board is not accountable to any of these indicators. A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Mousepad -Original Message- From: Reid Wood reidw...@oberlin.net To: ma-network@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wed, 31 Dec 2008 9:39 am Subject: Re: (,) extra postage for photos? Actually, weight is not the first criteria the post office considers in determining postage. Size and thickness are the first criteria. If an envelope is too thick (you may have seen the device they have with a small slit in it - the envelope has to fit through the slit), then it will require more postage because it is considered non-machineable. Their aim is to have everything that is mailed be processed by machine (or have you pay extra for having a human interact with it somewhere along the line).
