The front of the piece is decorated with rubber stamp ink and U.S. postage stamps. The back is decorated with colored ballpoint pen and rubber stamp art.

Near the bottom, red text reads “WARRANTLY ANONYMOUS YOURS.” The address “24, Rue Reynier – 4000 LIEGE – Belgium” is printed at the bottom edge. The third image is the back of the envelope decorated with colorful handwritten text and stamped markings.

Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture. All forms of material and artistic techniques come into play. Mail Art explores the material nature of language. Rubber stamps, stickers, paint and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art. In the late 1950s, he founded the New York Correspondence School, and the New York Correspondence School bunny is an image frequently collaged into works of Mail Art.

Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Mail Art Description An account of the resource Participatory, democratic, personal and expressive, as a form of artwork, Mail Art is sent, given or exchanged via the postal service. A work of artwork becomes Mail Art once it is dispatched, disappearing forever from the artist's hands. Mail Artists form networks and faithfully participate in them by pouring a steady stream of unique art objects into the quotidian postal system. Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture. All forms of material and artistic techniques come into play. Mail Art explores the material nature of language. Rubber stamps, stickers, paint and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art. In the late 1950s, he founded the New York Correspondence School, and the New York Correspondence School bunny is an image frequently collaged into works of Mail Art.

Title A name given to the resource Mail Art Description An account of the resource Participatory, democratic, personal and expressive, as a form of artwork, Mail Art is sent, given or exchanged via the postal service. A work of artwork becomes Mail Art once it is dispatched, disappearing forever from the artist's hands. Mail Artists form networks and faithfully participate in them by pouring a steady stream of unique art objects into the quotidian postal system. Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture. All forms of material and artistic techniques come into play. Mail Art explores the material nature of language. Rubber stamps, stickers, paint and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art. In the late 1950s, he founded the New York Correspondence School, and the New York Correspondence School bunny is an image frequently collaged into works of Mail Art.

Description An account of the resource Piece consists of a brown printed mailing envelope decorated with rubber stamps and stickers and affixed with British postage stamps. It contains two glossy magazine pages each decorated with rubber stamps. This mail art piece unfolds as a satirical, collage-like publication that mimics instructional manuals, children’s guides, and popular magazines while steadily dissolving into absurdity. Across the four sections, Victorian-era child-rearing illustrations, faux scientific reports, hand-drawn annotations, stamps, and pseudo-advertisements are recombined with surreal humor—leeks become instruments of ancient craft, power transmission, sculpture, and communication; education slips into parody; authority is undercut by playful nonsense. The work uses the visual language of official print culture (manuals, lessons, diagrams, and advertisements) to critique systems of knowledge, progress, and seriousness, transforming the mail format into a fragmented, ironic narrative that rewards close reading and visual wandering.

Title A name given to the resource Mail Art Description An account of the resource Participatory, democratic, personal and expressive, as a form of artwork, Mail Art is sent, given or exchanged via the postal service. A work of artwork becomes Mail Art once it is dispatched, disappearing forever from the artist's hands. Mail Artists form networks and faithfully participate in them by pouring a steady stream of unique art objects into the quotidian postal system. Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists. Each piece of Mail Art is unique and often a collage that might aggressively engage social, artistic, and hot topic political issues or might harvest images from pop culture. All forms of material and artistic techniques come into play. Mail Art explores the material nature of language. Rubber stamps, stickers, paint and other material are frequently combined in Mail Art collage. After artistic treatment, items such as common post cards to plastic bottles enter into the Mail Art network. Ray Johnson is credited as the founder of contemporary Mail Art. In the late 1950s, he founded the New York Correspondence School, and the New York Correspondence School bunny is an image frequently collaged into works of Mail Art.
