About this Event

The National Museum of Computing invites you to an intimate and exclusive gathering to celebrate the opening of Pushing the Envelope: An exhibition of mailed and correspondence art, an innovative exhibition coordinated by Lucy Helton. This special event is designed for the artists, their family and friends, and members of their communities who wish to share in the unveiling of their work in the inspiring setting of the Museum.

The exhibition features work from the following artists:

Through technical support from Museum volunteers, Lucy and participating artists have transformed the Museum into a vehicle for artistic expression.

This gathering is not only a chance for many to experience the Museum in person for the first time but to see these incredible works displayed in situ, alongside the TNMOC's extensive collection of functional historic machines.

The exhibition opening will commence with a prosecco reception at 2pm and some remarks from Lucy Helton and the Museum Director. Attendees will then be invited to explore the Museum and view the exhibition for themselves.

We hope that you will join us in celebrating the installation of this exciting exhibition. Please RSVP by the 21st of October to confirm your attendance.

Please note, your ticket includes access to the Museum for the entire day.

About Lucy Helton

Lucy Helton is a visual artist whose fictitious and prophetic landscapes address contemporary environmental concerns by offering a sublime vision of the planet's uncertain future. Born in London, she received her master’s degree in fine art photography from Hartford Art School, CT, in 2014. Seeing visual arts as a means of engagement, Helton uses concept-specific technologies to image the relationship between human beings and the landscapes we inhabit. Gaining a HAM (amateur) radio license, she continues to test the boundaries of art and technology by making both long and short-range image transmissions. Helton’s books are collected by the Cleveland Institute of Art, MoMA, MET, Brooklyn Museum, Houston Center of Photography, Hirsch Library at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and the David M. Rubinstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Duke University, among others.
