An interesting collection of postcards are currently on exhibit at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, part of the body of work entitled PostSecret. PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard—since 2004, people all over the world have had their most excruciating secrets appear anonymously on the popular Internet website Postsecret.com. Started as a communnity art project by Maryland-based Frank Warren, Postsecret.com has won several awards and attracts a reported million hits a week. To date, Warren has been mailed more than 170,000 secret-bearing postcards in a mind-bending array of creatively designed shapes, sizes and styles.
