Mark Blane Performance Artist

Purplesnail took part in AldeburghArt on the  21st and 22nd May and many people stopped by to see our stand. As you can see from the photograph we were not displaying any art, but we were asking a question. Thank you to all those who gave us their responses, if you were unable to answer at the time or did  not attend on Saturday or Sunday please click on the  postcard below to read our question, then send your responses to 1646@purplesnail.co.uk.

PS Please note we are aware of the gaffe in the text on the postcard, hung should be hanged.
