description: Color photograph. Black writing on back with stickers, rubber stamp ink, and Italian postage.
description: In the first image, a large, light-colored fabric lies spread out on a floor, partially folded near the edges. Two circular stencil designs are visible on the surface, outlined in black spray paint with faint red markings extending from them. Inside the top circle, the text reads “HOPE,” and in the lower circle, “ART.” Red paint drips and streaks appear between the circles, suggesting a deliberate connection in the design. The fabric is positioned in front of a dark background with a faint light source coming from the left. The second image is a handwritten postcard addressed to John Bennet, Lunar Biscuit Prods, 437 Leland Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43214, U.S.A. It has three Italian stamps—one valued at 200 lire depicting Castello di Cerro al Volturno and two valued at 500 lire each showing Castello di Rovereto. A blue “PER VIA AEREA / PAR AVION” airmail label is affixed near the center. The sender’s information on the left reads “ANNA BOSCHI, Via Alberghini 23-25, 40138 BOLOGNA.” The message, written diagonally across the card, says in part, “Thank you very much for your fine participation to the ‘Bottle Project.’ Best wishes and good work. Friendly, Anna.”

The front of the envelope is addressed to “Luce Fierens = Youth & Mail Art, c/o Boterstraat 43, B-2811 Hombeek, Belgium (Belgia)” and features a Polish postage stamp, multiple circular “Międzynarodowa Sztuka Poczty – Mail Art – Michał Graczyk” stamps, a collage of fruit, and a black starburst sticker.

description: Two-sided piece. Timecard decorated with multi-color paint on front, back is decorated with paint, rubber stamp ink and affixed with U.S. postage stamps.
description: These two images show the front and back of a single postcard created from an IBM punch card. The front features a visually striking abstract artwork: a mix of vivid paint strokes layered across the pre-printed numbers and coding grid of the punch card. The paint’s vibrant reds, blues, and greens transform the utilitarian object into a colorful piece of mail art, typical of the experimental correspondence art movement of the late 20th century. The back reveals the postcard’s functional side, turning the painted punch card into a personal communication. It bears the sender’s stamped address from San Antonio, Texas, and a postmark from July 1982. The handwritten note from Gene Elder to Daniel Graham thanks the recipient for a letter, combining art and casual correspondence. This hybrid of technological artifact, artwork, and personal note reflects the creative reuse of computer-era materials in mail art culture.

description: These three images show different views of a mail art object titled *Buckskin Charley*. The front features a collage of a cowboy aiming a revolver, accented with silver highlights and the title in red script. The back resembles carved wood with the recipient’s name, address, and a 20¢ Barrymore stamp, indicating it was mailed. The spine continues the wooden texture, completing the illusion of a carved wooden block. Together, the images convey a rustic, tactile aesthetic that blends printmaking, collage, and postal art.

description: This piece is a brown mailing envelope decorated with stickers, postage stamps, and found items, with white and red-orange writing. Inside the envelope are other found items.
description: Envelope (first and third images): A brown envelope marked with handwritten sender and recipient information, multiple postage stamps, and postal markings. On the front, the sender’s information is written in red: “V. HAMANN ANTHROART IN DER LEHNAUE 2 D-5064 RÖSRATH.” The recipient’s address is written in white within a red-bordered rectangle: “LUCE FIERENS BOTERSTRAAT 43 2811 HOMBEEK BELGIEN.” Several German postage stamps are affixed in the upper right corner and are postmarked. A partially visible printed graphic appears in the lower left. The envelope surface includes cancellation lines, a torn area near a postmark, and a strip of reversed blue-printed text. Contents (second image): The enclosed materials consist of a group of items arranged together on a black background. One large printed piece shows a person seated against an orange backdrop, their body painted blue, hands held over two containers. A torn calendar fragment reads “OKTÓBER 1 Þriðjudagur.” Another small printed card displays a simple line drawing of a vessel with the word “HANDLE.” A Polaroid-style print shows cardboard constructions with the handwritten text “PASSION CREATES ART” above them and “For Lucio Fierenzio VH92” along the lower edge.

description: Piece consists of a sheet of black and white artist stamps, with printed text and a photographic image of Ray Johnson.
description: A printed sheet containing a large black-and-white photograph at the top and multiple stamp-like designs arranged in rows beneath it. The top photograph shows a person standing with their back turned, wearing a jacket with a studded pattern, facing a wall and a striped pole. To the right of the photograph is printed text: “[Mail Art] has no history, only a present, which was a part, of course, on present as now, and present as gift. A pun on my own way of giving information and objects or whatever, in letter form. —Ray Johnson.” Below the photograph is a grid of repeated monochrome stamp designs labeled “U.S. POSTAL ART” with a small portrait of the same person and the text “RAY JOHNSON” printed at the bottom of each stamp. Additional small text in the lower right reads “Design & production by Derryn Greenberg Press, NYC 2006 © Ray Johnson,” along with “Gummed Paper.”

The reverse side includes multiple multicolored rubber stamps—figures, butterflies, and a large circular stamp reading “MAIL ART COUNTRY * BELGIUM * THE HEART OF EUROPE *.” A Belgian postage stamp and cancellation mark appear in the lower right.

Mail art no. 57
subject: Mail art
description: Two-sided envelope submitted as part of the Millenium Mail Art Project. Front and back decorated with cardboard, stickers, thread and found objects. U.S. postage stamps affixed.
description: The front features layered paper fragments, typed text strips, barcodes, a small cut-out window, postal cancellations, and colorful stamps—including a Margaret Mitchell stamp and a “19th Amendment 1920” stamp—alongside a whimsical UFO sticker. The address is printed on a white label, accompanied by rubber-stamped text reading “2000 Anno Mirabilis.” The surface shows mixed textures from torn paper, tape, staples, ink smudges, and hand-stamped marks. The reverse side continues the assemblage theme with light blue paper, scattered magenta postal ink, a bold green “10” sticker, “Sealed For Your Protection” text, and additional barcodes. A small dark rectangular print appears mounted on part of the envelope, adding a mysterious, fingerprint-like element. Inside, the object contains a folded, printed sheet listing past mail art calls from the mid-1990s. The page resembles a newsletter: columns of names, project titles, and locations are arranged in monospaced type, emphasizing the archival, bureaucratic quality of mail art networks. Two additional collage panels incorporate anatomical illustrations printed in black on white paper—faces, organs, cross-sections, and labeled diagrams—paired with cardboard and mounted photographic slides. Each slide contains a dark smudged mark resembling a partial print or abstract form, adding an enigmatic, almost forensic tone. Tape and uneven paper edges give the panels a handmade, tactile quality.
