Thought for Food

What would you think if you received this mysterious card in the mail from two strangers named Lenka and Michael? And you found out your neighbor received a letter from them, too? And your other neighbor … and every household on your street … and every household in your small town?

The artists Lenka Clayton and Michael Crowe write:

In April 2009, we sent a personal, handwritten letter to each of the 467 households in the small Irish village of Cushendall. We hoped these unsolicited letters would prompt neighbourly discussion, spreading across the town, promoting community curiosity.

The art work consists solely of the discussion between the recipients about what on Earth these letters are, who sent them and why, etc.
