Lenka Clayton: Mysterious Letters
I don't know whether this is an intervention or a type of relational art. I don't want to start constantly blabbing on about relational aesthetics all the time just because I'm finally working out that aspect of my own work, but it definitely has a place in this idea. The dimensions I can see are, fluxus style instructional art existing in the form of documentation via the internet (http://www.mysteriousletters.blogspot.co.uk/), an intervention into both public and private space e.g. the mail system and people's houses and the relational aspect of the letters being read and the effect they have on the reader.

"Lenka Clayton is a conceptual artist whose work exaggerates and reorganizes the accepted rules of everyday life, extending the familiar into the realms of the poetic and absurd"
