Artist Jill Anholt speaks about her vision for the Post office public art project, "Send Receive All" that was installed in late 2023.
Consisting of three components, "Send Receive All" celebrates the history and multiculturalism of Lethbridge's rich heritage as viewed through post correspondence. The 'Screen' celebrates the actions of folding and unfolding a letter while speaking to the back end of the post office where parcels and letters are prepared for mailing. The 'Sidewalk' installation puts Lethbridge's original postmaster J.D. Higinbotham's correspondence at the center of interest, pulling timeless phrases from his letters found in the archives at the Glenbow Museum. And lastly, the 'Windows' piece completes a timeline of cultural exchanges through a collage of local and global post office markings.
This project is a partnership with the City of Lethbridge and Sumus Property Group Ltd.
