A Mail-Art project across physical and digital networks towards an open exhibition at HTTP Gallery.

Annie Abrahams (b. NL 1954, lives and works FR) is an internationally regarded pioneer of networked performance art. If not you not me at HTTP Gallery in London is the first solo exhibition of her work in the UK.

This exhibition presents three new collaborative works alongside documentation of recent networked performances created and curated by the artist.
