Mail Art
メール・アート/郵便芸術 / 1960s–present / Style / Avant-garde
A network art practice that treats envelopes, postcards, stamps, rubber stamps, addresses, postmarks, and delivery time as compositional parts. The work is a system for reply, forwarding, addition, and arrival rather than one finished sheet.
Envelopes, postcards, address fields, and postal frames structuring the page / Artistamps, rubber stamps, typing, and photocopy layered together / Folds, abrasion, postmarks, and dates from transit retained / Instructions or space for a recipient to reply, alter, or forward
