Biography

Pete Horobin was a Scottish artist involved in the international movements of mail art and neoism, exchanging correspondence in the form of letters, small publications, postcards and audio cassettes as well as small three-dimensional objects, with artists Vittore Baroni, Robin Crozier, Niels Lomholt, Mark Pawson, Carlo Pittore, Stefan Szczelkun, Rod Summers, and David Zack among many. Horobin’s self-historification project DATA (Daily Action Time Archive) 01.01.1980 documents many personal pilgrimages and walks – one being PRAM (Pedestrian Rambles Around Myland) a walk across Scotland from Dysart in Fife to Mallaig on the West coast. The actual gold pram contained all his living and studio needs and the action celebrated Horobin’s Year of Freedom which was in antithesis of Orwell’s 1984 dystopia.
