F.l.t.r. Helma, Linda and me with Mail-Art
For the new magazine Sentimental Journey the founders Linda Loenen and Helma Bongenaar came over to my studio for some research. I showed them my Mail-Art archive and my graphic scores. Both art forms started in the 50 tees and still have my interest.
It’s been quit a while since I was an active mail-art artist. I worked in Other Books And So with Ulises Carrión (his picture on the wall of my studio) and had my share of books, stamps, exhibitions etc.
These questions came in my mind: what is the meaning of mail art nowadays. Esp. in relation to all the communication we already have?
What does it do to for you?
Are there big players?
How does it work today?
How does mail art relate to other artforms?
