Whether

crunching on alimango in Zamboanga or simply sweating on a pawpaw salad at
Parap, we want to know where you are and what youÕve been doing. Create or buy
a postcard (142mmx110mm) write to us and let us know how life is treating you.
The postcards will then be exhibited as an installation (30 October to 21

6pm.
We need
to start searching for people NOW! This yearÕs exhibition is the beginning of
the search for people for a publication for the 24th year of 24HR Art in 2013.
