“[T]his exhibition tries to show the contact points, the relationships, between artists’ bookworks and Mail Art. Both forms are contemporary (they belong more or less to the last two decades) and influence and enrich each other. Although it isn’t possible to draw a chronological sequence leading from one art form to the other, I want to show that Mail Art radicalizes some tendencies in the evolution of the art process—evolution that the bookworks had triggered, and that such radicalization has important formal consequences.” -Ulises Carrión
