This postcard shows a traditional Russian window casing (1, Muzeyny proezd, Alexandrov, Russia). It is an artwork by Vasily Osipovich Zhabin. But the picture was taken by the sender, Eduard, and it won a photo contest for the most beautiful casing in the Vladimir region in 2015 (If I understand well the back of the postcard!).
For more that ten years, Eduard has been running the mail art project Windows to the World. Maybe you can consider to send a window, too:
Artistic works dedicated to the theme “Windows” are accepted. You can use any painting or other technique. The deadline isn’t established.Please, send your “Windows” here:Eduard EgorovZaozernaya, 45AlexandrovVladimirskaya regionRussia601653

ReplyDeleteOh! I am glad that the postcard has arrived! And here is an audio block about mail art and the exhibition "Windows to the World". The sound is in Russian, but there is text in English: https://www.oontz.ru/en/2016/09/26/averyprivatemessage/
