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.

Mail Artists also regularly call for topical or thematic Mail Art for exhibition. Mail Art forms a community of like minded artists.

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.
The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection.

Title

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.
The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection.

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
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
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

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.
The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection.

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.
The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection.

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
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
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
Mail art piece, created by Mumbles, consisting of a white envelope that has a multi-color hand-painted face on it. The painted envelope has layered abstract washes in pink, orange, yellow, and gray, addressed by hand to ‘The Spitter, 137 Leland Ave., Columbus, OH 43214,’ with two Christmas postage stamps in the upper right hand corner. The front of the mail art contained within the envelope has a handwritten note in black on white paper containing a typed poem titled ‘ODE DU 25’ with a handwritten note at the top, a pink brushstroke near the bottom, and a small pasted color photograph of two people in yellow hazmat suits. The second envelope insert is a black-and-white graphic of a surreal face made from two rectangular photographic eyes forming glasses, with a simple line-drawn nose and mouth below; a purple stamped address reading ‘MUMBLES, P.O. Box 8312, Wichita, KS 67208’ appears along the left side. The verso of this image contains a short poem written by the mail artist covered with handwritten notes in black and bright pink marker, including comments about making a ‘great little booklet’ and a description reading ‘Have a nize-daze at the French bread inferno,’ with visible folds and staples along the edge. Mail art recipient: John M. Bennett.

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.
The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection.

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.
The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection.

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.
The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection.

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
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.

An account of the resource
Two-sided paper envelope mail art piece with inserts created by Hans-Ruedi Fricker. It consists of a white paper mailing envelope decorated on front with rubber stamp ink, sticker labels, and foreign postage stamps. The back is colored with green and purple marker. The interior pages of this mail art piece contains a black-and-white mail-art collage composed of cut-and-pasted text fragments in English and German on a textured gray background. The collage advertises a mail-art show and “artistic activities in the countryside,” includes a typed call for artists from H. R. Fricker in Switzerland, and features a torn photographic image of a mountain ridge. Below is a framed historical photograph showing a group of men standing at a rocky mountainside. There are faint handwritten pencil notes in the upper left thanking the recipient for a letter. The last page of this mail art piece is a typewritten "letter" with the phrase "Just such another letter." repeated across the entire page. Mail art recipient: Daniel Mark Graham.

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.

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.
The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection.

Description
An account of the resource
White paper mail art envelope piece, designed by Carlo Pittore, decorated on the front with artist stamps and U.S. postage stamps. Textual material contained within the envelope includes a handwritten letter on pale yellow paper, written in blue ink and dated July 21, 1981. A small printed card with an illustration of a man blowing a horn and the name of the mail art creator “Carlo Pittore” is stapled to the top left corner, showing a New York address and phone number. The letter discusses enthusiasm for a response, encloses information about a gallery, describes its physical dimensions and street-viewing setup in New York’s East Village, and notes that it is an alternative, artist-run gallery. The text explains that the gallery space is nonprofit, with no sales or insurance, and invites the recipient to set up a show with assistance as possible. The writer proposes exhibition dates in January 1982, mentions being in New York City starting October 1, and signs off informally. The paper shows creases, small tears along the top edge, and light wear. Mail art recipient: Daniel Mark Graham.

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.

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.

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.

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.
The Poetry Collection's Mail Art Archive includes collections donated by The Sticker Dude, Baron and Luc Fierens. It also draws from The Poetry Collection's John M Bennett Collection, The Hallwalls Collection and the general holdings of The Poetry Collection.

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.

A black-and-white collage artwork combines archaeological imagery, text, and surreal elements. At the center is an aerial photograph of a circular stone structure resembling an ancient shrine or ruin. Around it are cut-out images of maggots or flesh worms, raised human arms, and a robed figure seen from behind with arms lifted. Text fragments read “ROOT JUJU CURE,” “spirit, magic, music and dance,” “ANCIENT SHRINE OF THE FLESH WORMS,” “EVENTUALLY CONSUMING THE ENTIRE HEAD,” and “ACTUAL CASES.” A small scientific illustration labeled “A Regular Flesh Worm Greatly Magnified” appears near the bottom. The artist’s name, Nicol A. Kostic, and Toledo, Ohio address are stamped at the top, giving the piece a dark, ritualistic, zine-like aesthetic.

The composition blends illustration, typography, and print textures in a handmade, zine-like style. The fourth mail art piece within the envelope is a typed letter from Nicol A. Kostic, dated June 20, 1991, describing plans and anxieties about organizing a mail art show in Toledo, Ohio, with several phrases highlighted. The fifth mail art piece within the envelope is a typed continuation of the same mail art letter describing an unexpected discovery of mail art materials, requesting permission to exhibit them, signed by Nicol Kostic, with highlighted words and a small illustrated stamped figure near the bottom. The sixth and final mail art piece within the envelope is a black-and-white collage artwork combines archaeological imagery, text, and surreal elements. At the center is an aerial photograph of a circular stone structure resembling an ancient shrine or ruin. Around it are cut-out images of maggots or flesh worms, raised human arms, and a robed figure seen from behind with arms lifted. Text fragments read “ROOT JUJU CURE,” “spirit, magic, music and dance,” “ANCIENT SHRINE OF THE FLESH WORMS,” “EVENTUALLY CONSUMING THE ENTIRE HEAD,” and “ACTUAL CASES.” A small scientific illustration labeled “A Regular Flesh Worm Greatly Magnified” appears near the bottom. The artist’s name, Nicol A. Kostic, and Toledo, Ohio address are stamped at the top, giving the piece a dark, ritualistic, zine-like aesthetic. Mail art recipient: John M. Bennett.

Description
An account of the resource
An abstract expressionist painting on rough-edged paper features thick, layered brushstrokes in dark blues, greens, blacks, and rust reds. White and black paint drips vertically from the top like melting forms or stalactites, while the lower half is dense with swirling, gestural marks that suggest waves, roots, or tangled figures. The surface feels heavy and tactile, with a moody, turbulent atmosphere and no clearly defined subject.

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
A rubber glove painted in mottled greens, blues, and earthy browns lies against a black background. The surface has a scaly, reptile-like texture with visible stitching and staples. On the right side, a small, hand-painted tiger crouches in green grass. Above it, a handwritten return address in white paint reads “From: Genevieve Garneau, 1107 Du Perche, Boucherville, QC, J4B 6E7, Canada.” The piece feels tactile and hybrid—part artifact, part painted relief, blending animal imagery with the form of a worn glove.

Description
An account of the resource
A rubber glove painted in dark grays, blues, and blacks is shown against a black background. The glove’s surface is textured and brushy, depicting an industrial cityscape with tall, jagged smokestacks emitting pale smoke into a cloudy sky. Four Canadian postage stamps are affixed to the fingers, each showing a red maple leaf motif. On the right side of the glove, handwritten white text reads: “To: Millennium Mail Art Project, Ragged Edge Press, 102 Fulton Street, New York NY 10038 USA.” The piece combines mail art, painting, and object sculpture, evoking themes of industry, pollution, and correspondence.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection of Polish posters were originally printed for the World Peace Council, an international organization that advocates universal disarmament. Our collection came from a set of reproductions selected by Karol Małcużyński published by Krajowa Agencja Wydawnicza around 1978.
The World Peace Council emerged after a congress held by the World Congress of Intellectuals in Wroclaw, Poland in 1948. This conference attracted prominent artists, scientists and intellectuals such as Pablo Neruda, Julian Huxley, Tadeusz Kotarbiński, Pablo Picasso, Ivo Andrić and Mikhail Sholokhov. The poster for this conference in 1948 is the first in the collection. The World Peace Council was officially founded in 1950 at the Polish Peace Congress in Warsaw. The ideas behind the group originated from the policy of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The idea was to promote peace campaigns around the world as a response to the perceived "warmongering" by the USA during the Cold War. The poster advertising the 1950 conference in Warsaw is the second image in our collection. The World Peace Council exists today and is a registered NGO at the United Nations.
Our collection, consisting of 23 posters, highlights Polish artists advocating peace and disarmament.

Description
An account of the resource
A graphic poster with a limited color palette of blue and off-white. The central design is a large circle divided horizontally. In the lower half, a simplified white silhouette of a bird’s head faces left against a blue background. In the upper half, curved white lines form an arch-like structure, with a small branch containing three leaves hanging down in the center. The shapes are clean and geometric, with a modernist style. Below the circle, bold blue text is arranged in multiple lines. Additional smaller text appears beneath, also in blue. A thin horizontal line separates sections of text. The background is a light, slightly textured off-white.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection of Polish posters were originally printed for the World Peace Council, an international organization that advocates universal disarmament. Our collection came from a set of reproductions selected by Karol Małcużyński published by Krajowa Agencja Wydawnicza around 1978.
The World Peace Council emerged after a congress held by the World Congress of Intellectuals in Wroclaw, Poland in 1948. This conference attracted prominent artists, scientists and intellectuals such as Pablo Neruda, Julian Huxley, Tadeusz Kotarbiński, Pablo Picasso, Ivo Andrić and Mikhail Sholokhov. The poster for this conference in 1948 is the first in the collection. The World Peace Council was officially founded in 1950 at the Polish Peace Congress in Warsaw. The ideas behind the group originated from the policy of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The idea was to promote peace campaigns around the world as a response to the perceived "warmongering" by the USA during the Cold War. The poster advertising the 1950 conference in Warsaw is the second image in our collection. The World Peace Council exists today and is a registered NGO at the United Nations.
Our collection, consisting of 23 posters, highlights Polish artists advocating peace and disarmament.
