from my neighborhood to yours

Parallel University contributed to an exhibition at para-site gallery in Houston Texas at Project Row Houses.  We were invited (along with other PSU MFA social practice artists) by Galleria Perdida who were hosting the show.  Our contribution was themed “From Portland with Love.”


We made some postcards of the neighborhood right around our admin. office and asked neighbors and friends to write a note about our neighborhood to send to someone in the neighborhood of Project Row Houses.  We made a poster about our neighborhood and sent some postcards for people to take, along with some stamps and c/o P.U. address stickers asking for information about the sender’s neighborhood.  So far we have received just a few, two all the way from Finland!


Class summary: Write to a stranger.
